Family Near and Far




Today I got to hang out with who I call my brother, Grady. I got to have a good couple games of UNO with him despite the fact that I lost just about every game.
Also today,  I scared this little boy, Bill, who is two. This child hates me and always has. Haha. He likes to bite,  hit, and claw at me. I found out one reason why. I'm sitting on the couch with Tess and Bill.  I blow a bubble with my gum and Bill freaks out, runs off and throws a fit. I kept doing it (shame on me) to see if that's what was scaring him.  It was.  He told the nanny that he wouldn't go to the bathroom because that meant he had to cross  in front of me. He just about peed his pants before the nanny grabbed him and took him potty. He saw me a few more times and was terrified of me and my gum. There is my interesting yet funny story for the day:)
A week from today I will be leaving for Spokane, even though I call China my new home. I don't know if I will be able to leave this place. I feel like a mother leaving her 75 children behind. I grow closer to the children, interns, and staff everyday.  They have become like "family".
