The Day of Birthdays

I am so proud of myself for keeping up with this blog.  I completely plan on writing everyday for 3 reasons.  One, I am required to for part of my credit.  Two, for perhaps the benefit of others that I may answer the questions about my whereabouts.  Last, so that one day I can look back and be so grateful I put down my detailed thoughts.

Today was a great day at the orphanage.  There were three birthdays.  I was unaware of this because I wasn't expecting it so when the Bambi rooms got together there was cake, presents, hats, and even balloons.  Two of the kids were from Megan's rooms (the older Bambi Girls room, though strangely enough both kids were in fact boys). The other was Minge from my room!  He turned 4 today and this little guy loves attention so he was just so excited to blow out a candle and receive a brand-new plastic, toy truck.  So for masa (snack time) the kids all got to eat some yummy cake.  Also, all my kids today go their faces painted!  It was so cute, I was surrounded by a bunch of little cat faces, one pirate, and one butterfly.  The workers loved it;they were taking tons of pictures of all of them( something we were told NOT to do).  Hopefully the ones Teo took from the birthday party I can get a copy of.  But, I am trying to be respectful by not posting pics of the kids or orphanage due to privacy laws.

The hospital today was also good.  Honestly, the hospital is very hard on me because I feel so tired after being worn out by 10 kids early in the day.  But then to go and entertain/take care of Little Blue Diva is very, very exhausting.  She is at that terrible two stage so there is lots of whining involved with taking care of her.  However, the days are going by fast, and I know I will be so grateful for every experience I have had while I am in Romania.  

Mare vis,

Dani
