Afternoon






So like I said...we went swimming....low and behold Teeny hates the water....just like another certain 2year old boy that I know...Tiny loves the water. Her and "B" were mermaids ....the fostermom said that the girls hadn't ever swam... well that Tiny is like a little fish. It was a shallow pool...so she didn't actually "swim" but she was under the water and holding her breath like a champ.
I included a pic of outside our hotel window... see the Pollo Campero... Teeny won't stop with that, lol. Everytime Ben comes in with a bag, "Pollo campero papatito...te quiero pollo campero". She said the same thing when we went to breakfast this morning in the hotel, lol...again with the pollo campero.
We finished off the afternoon with making necklaces. BIG HIT! I thought it was to much fine motor for Teeny... so just me and the older girls worked on necklaces.. then I lost interest in the beading so I handed mine to Teeny... OH my was she excited when she got a bead on. She lit up like a firework...Oh so proud of herself...she worked at each bead for quite some time then ...uhoh... she grabbed the wrong side and all the beads rolled to the floor........but no, little Teeny just laughed and laughed and laughed... her good humor prevailed over any disapointment in the loss of her hard work.
They love Ben... I mean LOVE him. When Tiny woke up from her nap,"Donde es Papatito?" I told her he went for food. The second he unlocked the door she ran to him and hugged him , "Oh Papatito!" Seriously..I kid you not; huge giant arms outstretched hug ...we just looked at each other dumbfounded. You can imagine Teeny's interest in his return... as he carried bags of food...starts with Pollo and ends with Campero, lol.
I made sure their fostermom told them this was *just* a visit. But I don't know if they get it.
Pray for their hearts. They get picked up tomorrow night.
