After an afternoon of team building exercises and lunch we were formally introduced to the babies. I am in awe at how big some of them have gotten. And then it seems as if some have not grown at all (Alina-although I can tell she is bigger). The toddlers of last year have all gone and the new "toddlers" are just barely walking or are special needs. It will be different to not have the kids yelling for us when the bus drove up to the clinic. The chaos of the first day with the group and trying to get all the babies fed was funny to watch. After feeding the babies their bottles (it takes 5 minutesfor some of them to suck them down) and then playing with them for a bit we walked back to the hotel for our Romanian language lesson. We then ate a pasta dinner and ice cream and "picked" our babies we would be working with the next weeks.
Today was a much cooler day which was nice (yesterday got up to 106 and was the hottest day of the year here so far.)
Tomorrow we start our first full day with the kids.
by the way- they are still mananging to sneak cooked carrots into everything here- including our pasta dinner!!! Have no fear I can search them out and remove the offending objects!
