Hanging out with the big kids!

For the past week, all of the big kids at Casa 2 and Casa 3 have stayed at the houses of the tías (and a few stayed back at the homes with volunteers). School starts February 3rd, so this was a fun last week of vacation for everyone! It gets the kids out of the houses for a bit and also shows them what it's like to be a part of a typical Bolivian family. Whenever the tías do take the kids home for an extended period of time, there's a bit of an adjustment when it's time to come back to the homes, but we feel like the pros outweigh the cons. From what I've seen, everyone really loved their time away!

As most of the tías live near each other (but not near our homes), they decided it would be fun to get everyone together for an afternoon of fun and games at a park near where they live! Two of my baby home kids and I joined them for the afternoon. Baby C. wasn't the tranquila baby she normally is as she refused to nap and was pretty fussy, but S. was great!
