The 2 little boys and I are in Tulsa at Korea Camp. Abby and Carter were not really interested in accompanying us this year and Mike has an admin team retreat. I'm an assistant teacher in one of the 5 yr old classes. Hudson is with me in the class. Dillon is doing great. He went to class alone and seemed just fine.
A sweet and super shy little girl barfed on my 3 times during the opening ceremonies. Seems she was nervous! Good thing I'm used to being barfed, peed, and bled upon at work-nothing grosses me out.
In a class of 9, we had 3 children with special needs and all the children were beautiful and funny. One boy was fascinating and brilliant. He wrote the entire Star Spangled Banner out on some paper. Writing letters and spelling is his thing...social interaction is not :) We had a fun time with this class. Today they made a counting book to learn to count in Korean. They also made traditional Korean kites and attended Tae Kwon Do class. My camera cord is at home so pics will follow. Hudson rather enjoyed the yelling and kicking in Tae Kwon Do. He poured his whole being into being fierce. They attended a class about how to deal with mean kids. Tomorrow they learn Korean cooking, drumming, and more language. It is soooooo awesome to see lots of adoptive families come together. There are 79 teen counselors helping. What a sweet relationship the older adoptees have with the younger children. A real sense of unity and "getting it." This is the only place all the other kids feel similar and parents don't get the questions "So, do you know their real parents?" I'm so proud that we used Dillon International as our agency. They are top-notch and truly care for the child through the whole life span.
He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8
