Today was Rosemary’s birthday! They sang happy birthday to her at breakfast. They also had previously taken her out for breakfast alone and given her a small toy.
After breakfast, she and I were playing outside when her name was called and she proudly announced “mi mama, mi mama el teléfono!” As she ran inside.
I don’t think it’s proper to ask about her situation, so I haven’t. She is here with her 2 sisters Crystal and Esmeralda at this house and she has a 2 year old sister that is in Casa Cuna which is the under 5 year old house next door. I’m guessing there are 15 kids or so in that house.
Once I asked Rosemary’s sister Crystal (12 years old) “how long have you been here”, she did not answer and one of the young adult leaders let me know that many kids don’t like that question because it reminds them of unhappy thoughts. My guess is 3 years.
Rosemary has the gifts of an awesome smile, physical touch (she loves to hold hands) and she loves to kiss (although kissing is not allowed, as far as I can tell).
She also gives great back massages
These 3 sisters are my friends.

Additionally, we all took a ride to the glass shop to pickup some windows we ordered. This was the way we use to do it in the US, before we got so serious about safety and quit having fun.
