Another Beautiful Day

Today was probably the warmest day so far here and it did not rain at all.  I think it was close to 80degrees.  The kids and I were at the daycare again today.  It is always so nice to go to a place and have people be glad you are back.  All the workers and the kids were happy to see us and some kids even came up to hug us.  I think they are starting to warm up to us.  Today we saw a lot more structured work being done in the classroom we were in.  Melayna and Lucas were able to finger paint with the other kids and I think they really enjoyed it.  Lucas took the camera and took a bunch of pictures today too.  He really loves taking pictures.  The daycare kids were amazed by the fact that they could see the pictures right after Lucas took them and kept crowding around him to see them.  He liked all the attention.

Matt had another try with the taxi and it did not come this morning because the driver did not know where the address was and tried to call the director of our program and she did not have service.  She set up another taxi for him and it was over an hour later than it said it would be, but he got there safely.  He saw 4 clients today and he said 3 of them were kids.  He said he wished I had been there to help, but talking to him, I think he did great with them.  He has been really lucky at the clinic in Santo Domingo because everyone has been so helpful especially with translation.  His other host family is very nice also and the mother of the family wants to practice her English with Matt and then he can practice his Spanish.  He is excited to get started.  They invited him down for tea tonight too which helps expose him to Spanish more.  So all in all, another great day.
