Sylvio

This is one of my little boys. Sylvio just came in a couple weeks ago, and La Dawn added him to my list of kids to work with. He's such a beautiful little boy and I love working with him! Today I took him on a walk with some of the other volunteers.We walked about a half an hour to a grocery store called Hispanola. The first part of the walk is the most difficult because it's basically straight uphill. By the time we got to the top of the first two hills, we were exhausted and I was covered in sweat. I was glad I'd brought Sylvio because he's my smallest baby. A couple of the girls brought some pretty big babies, and I know they wish they'd brought smaller ones because they get so heavy!
We like to take walks to Hispanola sometimes, just to get out and also to get some snacks. They have great stuff there, even Oreos and all kinds of chocolate bars. It was quite the expedition! All the Haitians seemed to think that it was funny to see four white girls carrying black babies, strapped to us in baby carriers.... We got lots of comments and lots of smiles!  Posted by Picasa
