Childrens' Day

The Class

A whole day devoted to fun, playing, sweets, and enjoying. I got all dressed up; straightened my hair, put on make up and even borrowed a suit from Kelly. The big kids told me I looked like a doll. the little kids simply amused themselves by pullingand twisting it up and playing with my hair.

Fun Pictures

It was a really fun day. The kids also got very dressed up in "special" outfits that make you cringe. One was in pink fake leather from head to toe. Seriously a hat and boots came with it. But you have to love it. I love these kids!

Abhinav

Little Abhinav is my new best friend. Everyday I have to feed him his tiffin (snack) and he is one of the few kids that still hasn't caught on to the fact that I can't understand Hindi. So we spend the whole time laughing as he tells me story after story with him laughing at the story and me laughing with him. His little giggle is impossible to resist!  He also gives me frowns and dirty looks when I try to speak to him in English. He also assumes that my tiffin is his tiffin and he gets to eat as much as he wants of it. I love this kid!

Ayan with his "I don't WANT to take another picture!!" face

Ayan Gurung is one of the smartest little ones. But so naughty. He's one that I try his shoelaces together when it's time to sit and listen. His english is terrible. After three months he can finally say "Mam-ji please tie my shoes!" which I do in double bows and then he kisses my cheek and says "fank you mam!". He and some of the other kids will seriously untie their shoes so I will tie them again. It drives me crazy. the double bows help a lot though!
