I am in love with the Sudanese kids.. I'm getting really sad that my time with them is almost over because I've made a connection with each of them and really know and understand them now. They are the cutest kids in the world and although they have it so hard, they are smiling and laughing and running around all the time. Even when I'm sick of them jumping and climbing all over me, they always seem to bring my spirits up. We sing English songs to them everyday and now most of them can sing the ABC's, Happy Birthday,Ring Around the Rosie, and Row your Boat. They're also picking up words and phrases from us. One of the girls named Anaqua repeated me when I said "Oh my god" the other week and now over and over again all she says is "oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!"Haha it's so funny because it's the only English she knows. One of them we named "nugget" because she's like two feet tall and super round and ADORABLE and her head squishes into her neck. We named another one Winnie the Pooh because he has those kind,adorable eyes like pooh bear and he's always decked out in winnie the pooh clothes (mostly because he wears the same outfit everyday..). Another one is named Tuta and she's the biggest, strongest kid there so she always gets the toys she wants. She's sort of a bully though and hits and kicks the other kids a lot.Her brothers name is Eric and is also very strong and scary (He hits me on the head a lot randomly so I'm a little apprehensive around him) Ananana is the sweetest, smallest thing in the world.. she sleeps most of the day (i think she has some growing abnormality or disorder or something) but when she's awake she follows me around and insists I carry her around all day. Fetuma is a beauty and follows Bubba around all day and cries everytime she leaves the room. She hasn't opened up to me yet.. Mimi is so hyper and silly all the time and for some reason her nose is constantly running. Seriously. Sometimes I wonder how such a small girl can create such a huge stream of snot...Abul is crazy and makes me spin and throw her around all the time.. she has thee softest skin. I LOVE These kids and am sad to leave them:(
