Me and Ploy. She didn't seem to understand to look at the camera and not me:)!
Ploy
He used to be terrified of this dolly, now absolutely loves it, thinks it is hilarious. The pose he is pulling is the traditional Thai photo pose.
Trying to smile!
This wee boy has a thing for watches. Every day he grabs my wrist and takes my watch off and puts it on his arm, I think before I leave I wil get one for him.
Ploy, she absolutely loves to laugh, and it's so lovely to hear her laugh, even if it is at me!
This is Ploy engrosed in her singing nursery rhyme book.
I still haven't managed to catch this boys name. He is so nice. He helps us shower and feed the kids sometimes, even though he can't walk himself. He has also been trying to teach me some Thai sentences, and I'm teaching him the numbers up to 10 so far in English
This is me with Om. He is a lovely boy, again very active, loves running around and climbing all over me. He seems to know me now and greets me in the morning with a clap with our hands.As you can probably see some of the kids names are easier to learn than others, I have managed to learn about 5 names so far.
This is me in the sensory room with one of the boys from Ratchapon ward. We wear different coloured shirts for each day of the week
This little girl is so cute. One of the physiotherapists has showed me what they do with her so I have had the chance to practice a little bit of physio on the kids all ready which has been great.
In his standing frame. It is talc all over his face.
The ball pool
This is Botech ( I hope that's how you spell it, well that's how it sounds!) in the sensory room, I can assure you he is never normally this still, he is constantly the go. At meal times he is tied to his chair to attempt to stop him running away! Don't worry it's not cruel. He is a lovely boy.
These are a few pictures of Victory Monument last week when the 'peaceful shirts' were demonstrating all round it. We were going there because we have language lessons in Bangkok. However, we have stopped going now because the situation is not safe enough for us to go.

Lovely to see your pics Rachel, and glad all is going well. Thinking of you! With love, Margaret H from St James.
ReplyDeleteHi there-- I stumbled upon your blog by chance, and I'm so excited about it! My husband and I are in the process of adopting a girl from Baan Fueng Fah, and so it's really neat to see pictures of where she's living. The pictures and info we have of her is two years old, so I'll probably be scouring your posts to see if I can catch a glimpse of her!
ReplyDeleteWe're worried about her, the other kids, the staff and the volunteers given the current situation-- hoping things will blow over. I'll add you to my prayer list.
Can't wait to read more about your time in Thailand!
