On Fridays, we have less structured days with kids, where we
mostly sing songs, play games, and just play with them. They’re our favorite days, and they’re
definitely the kids’ favorite. In light
of the 4th of July, we decided to have an America party last Friday,
complete with dancing and singing. We
also bought Oreos for all the kids, which they loved. One of the boys tried to give us his Oreo
because, as he said, it was our country’s birthday, so we should have it. Another little girl saved her Oreo to bring
to her mother. Another girl gave her
little brother half of her Oreo. I am constantly amazed by what these little
kids do. Even though they have nothing,
sometimes not even food to eat, they share everything. We can all learn something from them.

I love the pics of you with the kids :) You've always been such a natural with children- doesn't matter what culture! I love that you mentioned how they're so good about sharing. I generally think of young kids as being inherently selfish since they don't know any better, but it's interesting to think that it might just be something about our society or the way we raise them that makes them act that way. Glad these kids seem like a joy to work with! I'm sure they'll really miss having you there when you move on to Germany.
