It's cool to pee your pants...

Every day it's harder to wake up and easier to go to bed. It's the whole waking up at 7 a.m. thing... I'm not used to that after a summer of waking up around noon and working late at night. This is quite the opposite but I can't say that I dislike it :) Every day at the orphanage gets easier too, I'm glad that I'm moving to another placement though because each day at the orphanage is almost exactly the same. I think (emphasis on THINK) I'm ready for another challenge now!

Today a few newer nurses started working at the orphanage and I actually got to help one of them dress a few of the people. She was very sweet and thankful lol.. I almost know whose bed is whose and which wheel chairs belong to each person. It's nice to feel a little more helpful. I spent most of my time on the trampoline today with Bader and Simo (an adorable little dude about 4 or 5 years old). Bader sat on my lap again and made sure that even if he couldn't sit on my lap that he had possession of one of my body parts at all times. He tried to eat poor lil Simo's foot at one point so I thought it would be better if he held onto me instead :P

Achman was rather dramatic today as well since he kicked his ball onto the roof and nobody would go get it for him. He reminded me of the character Dobbey from the Harry Potter books who shuts his head in the oven. Achman was literally so upset that he was biting himself, slapping his face, and banging his head against walls. He was on the trampoline with us and Jordan was pretty much wrestling with him to keep him from hurting himself too bad (or anything else in his way). I finally just told him in french to stop crying, forget the ball, and find something else to play. To our amazement it worked!! ...At least for a few minutes.

After a while on the trampoline I realized that Simo had majorly wet his pants through his diaper and had definitely been sitting in my lap soaking me so I got out and gave him to Aziz to change. Aziz immediately laughed, made a face, and put him back in his stroller! They really have a way of doing things :D ..Jenna and I ended up changing the diaper bomb before he ate lunch and THAT was absolutely fabulous and DEFINITELY needed the two of us to execute.

In other news! I'm headed to Fes tomorrow with Arlene and Jayme for the weekend. We bought our train tickets today and booked a Riad to stay in. I'm excited to have a weekend away from this computer. I'll still be journaling of course but I really just want to read the book that Mohammed gave me and not have all the distractions that come with having this little white rectangle in my possession.

Adios :D
