Evaluations

I'd like to introduce you all to Jerry. She is a psychologist from Pennsylvania, who is volunteering her time here, by evaluating all the children at the main house. She's just making sure that they are all developing properly, and if there are any that are having some difficulties, she'll know in what areas, and then we can work with them some more, one on one. It's really great having her here! She's been here for almost a month, and has become a good friend of mine. I took Hudson over to her room on Sunday, just to visit, and we ended up doing his evaluation, since he was there anyways. It was really interesting to see how it's all done. Hudson did really well and had no idea he was even being evaluated. He just got to play. We only needed to see all the things he can do, and because he's such a happy and energitic boy, he was more than happy to show us! In one of the pictures above, you can see Jerry and Hudson during snack time, in the middle of the evaluation. It was quite a fun time!

Today was an extra hot day! It was very tiring at the Vacation Bible School this afternoon, and the kids didn't seem to have as much energy, but we still had fun. I've really been enjoying helping out with everything and I know the kids are really enjoying it... especially because it's during the time when they would normally be napping. This week, however, only the younger kids have to take a nap, while the older kids are at Vacation Bible School. I think they're going to be sad when the week's over!
