This morning I met Rose and her sister at the school gate at 7 am. And they walked me over to their house. They are so so sweet. When I got there her mom was so nice and happy to see me. While I was there her mom was washing their clothes and I don't know how she does it because she was washing clothes when I got there around 7 and was still washing clothes when I left around 11. Because they don't have a washer or dryer so she does it by hand for her 3 girls, but she is just amazing. The whole time she had a smile on her face and she would talk to me in kreyol and have her kids translate. I could pick up on simple words like lave (to wash) or domi to sleep or bwe, to drink. And her mom said she can be my other mom in Haiti, she was so sweet. When I got there that morning, they asked how long I'll stay and I told them I could stay until like 11:30 and then they all said, we thought you were gonna stay all day and Rose said she wanted me to stay until 8pm,but said she would let me leave at 6pm because that's when it starts to get dark. hahaha but I had to go at 11:30 but it was so sweet they wanted me to stay all day. And since her mom was washing clothes, Rose's older sister (in 5th or 6th grade)  made us breakfast. She made macaroni, it was so good. I helped her a tiny bit by putting coal for the fire and cutting up the onions, but she did the rest. And they gave me a huge plate full of food, it was so yummy. And after we ate, Rose and I laid on her bed and had a tickle fight haha She could never get to me though because if I just barely tickled her neck she'd fall back on the bed laughing so much. She's so cute. And then Rose went and bought me candy while I was talking with her sisters. She is so cute and put it in an envelope that said "I love you very much miss Sharah" :) ♥

And then their cousin, Kev, came over. He is like 5 months old and so so cute! I loved his hair so much. They let me hold him for a good hour and I was so happy. I got to feed him milk and some soft cheese. And then when he cried I was able to calm him down by bouncing him. I'm an expert baby bouncer after Atticus haha.  He made me miss Atticus so much♥

And then they invited me over again on Friday for her moms birthday. Their so sweet. I'm honored that her mom wants me to come on her special day. :)

And then after that I went to Witchy's and Kimley's moms restaurant. And Kimley has been helping me with Kreyol a lot and so my first "test" was to order my own food at his moms restaurant without help. And I did it! This is what I said "Bonjou, ki manje ou genyen jodi a" (Good morning, what food do you have today?) And then his mom said "Diri" (rice) or "Poule" (Chicken). And then I said "Mw vle diri, men mw pa vle viande sou manje mw" (I want rice, but I don't want meat on my food) And then they gave me amazing rice and beans and I sad "Passe bon joune" (have a good day) And Kimley said I passed the my test! And that I pronounced the stuff right, which I was so happy about.

Then I went to Leisa's house and played with her cat haha. I just stayed there a little bit because then I had to go to my classroom to get ready for school next week.

It was a great day. I'm blown away by the kindness of Rose's family and so many other awesome people here :)
