The boys' birthday celebration on December 26, 2010 was a great success. We went to the grocery store and bought cupcakes, juices, a few toys, candy for the ladies and a cake for the caretakers; then it was off to Baby Home #5 !
What an awesome day. First we went into the music room with all the kids and Olga the Music Teacher even came in on her day off ! Then one of the caretakers (the blond lady) dressed in a rabbit outfit and we all sang and clapped to a Russian Birthday song ! We did a circle dance for each of the boys and Noah just wanted to run and run and clap and laugh !! Jack of course clapped along and sang with all the other kids, he is so orderly !
Then it was off to Baby Room #4 where each of the boys and girls took their seats at their little tables and waited for their treat. I was supposed to give them juice boxes, but of course I had no idea that you can't just hand these kids juice boxes and a straw ! After half the juice was on the table I pulled them back, laughing, and said--Oh, I guess we need cups ! LOL !!
We poured Pear and Apple Juice into cups and placed one in front of each of the kids and they dutifully drank it without spilling a drop while we prepared the cupcakes. Each Child sat like angels and ate their cupcakes...but of course I could not have such an orderly Birthday Party; so here comes Sandy with Balloons and noisemakers to break up the order !!
The boys had a great Birthday but most of all we had a wonderful last day with them until we return for the third and FINAL trip ! The Staff at #5 was incredible and they really know how to celebrate with kids !
More blogs to come about the eventful trip home !
God knows there's a right time for everything, and that some things are sweeter when they're slow in coming.
