So, tonight I was back at the children’s hospital volunteering. I saw for different kids: a 13 month old boy, an 8 yr old boy,a 5 month old boy, and the 2 yr old girl that I saw last week. They were all really sweet kids.
The 8 yr old was having a really hard time because he was getting bored with the stuff he had to do in his room, but because he had a contagious skin problem, he couldn’t leave his room. He was sad when it was time for me to leave, and when i peeked into his room later, he was crying. I’m sure he was homesick and feeling alone because his parents weren’t there with him.
The 2 yr old was happy to see me, and I think she remembered me from last week. We were looking at a Disney Babies book, and in part of the book, Goofy was trying to catch a fish. So when ever we got to the pages with a fish, we would both suck in our cheeks and made a fish face. She was so cute, and it was surprising to see her make that face. I think she was saying more words this week, too.
Sweet story. I’m sure he doesn’t understand why he is stuck. Bummer.
