Día del Niño


August 16 is el Día del niño (Day of the child) in Paraguay, but because it rained, we celebrated this past Tuesday in jardín. It was nuts! Hermana Graciela decided that instead of gathering all of the kids together like we did for the cumpleaños party, the teachers would decorate each of the rooms separately (table cloths, decorations, balloons, etc.). As I’m sure any teacher can tell you, trying to decorate a room with the kids inside is a disaster, as is setting out centerpieces filled with snacks that you don’t want them to eat until later. Regardless of the craziness it was a blast and filled with hilarious moments. Hermana Graciela and one of the girls from JOMICA put on a puppet show, we face painted, had balloons, ate hotdogs and cake and had soda (in itself another disaster…not sure who thought 3-year-olds could each handle their own mini bottle without spilling).  The kids loved it and the teachers too (I think…).
