The other side of the world... day 24

I had a pretty good visit with Timothy this morning.  He did get a little bored with me but I managed to keep his attention by chasing and tickling him.  I took a little electric keyboard, very noisy, very exciting.  LOL  We watched “Wonder Pets” on the iPod while he ate his crackers, that was a hit.  He wasn’t happy when they were gone though, he kept signing “more”.  This is a good thing, but now I need to let him know what “all gone” means.  Hehe

We went outside, and walked around at first, played on the swing, and slide, and then his groupa came out.  It was almost time for me to leave, so we walked around a little more, and then we wandered over near where they were playing in a big open area (just running around, playing in the leaves, etc).  We stayed a little away from them, and I scooped up some leaves and we tossed them in the air.  He loves that!  A few of the other kids kept wandering over by us, and they would tell them to come back, and I heard “Danil” and “Mama” in there, so I am sure they were saying that Timothy (Danil) was playing with his Mama, and to leave us alone.  Eventually though, I guess I made it obvious enough that it was really ok, and they just gave up on calling the kids back.  LOL  We were tossing leaves, and all the kids were doing it too.  Timothy & our little RR Danil were totally cracking me up.  They would throw them at each other, then team up and throw them at me.  Back and forth.  At one point little Danil was laughing so hard he just fell right over(although, I think he was a little top heavy with the coat and hat on hehe)!  I scooped him up and put him on his feet again.  Of course, he was laughing the whole time.  The other kids thought that was a riot, so pretty soon they were all throwing themselves on the ground laughing.  I glanced at the Nannies who were just rolling their eyes (and smiling too so I think it was ok).  I hope no one gets in trouble, really I was only there with all of the other kids around for about 5 minutes, but I’m telling you, they and I enjoyed it.  One of the other boys in Timothy’s groupa is on RR too(I can’t remember his name though, and am typing this offline, so I’ll try to remember to go back and look), and there is a little girl that should be.  I might mention her to our facilitator and see what she thinks. 

Anyway… it was a nice morning.  After the day I had yesterday, it was a welcome treat.  @@

I took this little video last week, but couldn't get it to upload, so here you go!
