6 year old soccer- 3 “man” huddle strategizing, slide tackles from behind, punt in the air resulting in dropped jaws when the ball lands in the "pila" water (where we wash things and us when there is no running water)- hilarious!... dramatic dragging of leg across field (after a grand fall) accompanied by fantastic expression to match the show of pain- sure to draw a foul, then same boy running after the ball when it comes so near, his little toes couldn't stand to pass it up- show over J
See-saw- 2 students, one on each end. Little backsides grazing the dusty earth when suddenly STOPS with one set of short legs dangling in the air. Boy nearest to ground settles in with crossed legs, smiling at the boy in the sky. Boy in the sky pleads, “Let me down, mi amor!”
2 boys off to the side at recess lost in their own moment below the trees’ branches, giggly screeches, jumping with amusement… chasing a beautiful little butterfly.
Prepa class- Crouched down to eye level with little 5 year olds, to be greeted by one little girl’s fingers running through my hair. After a good, long rub, she dropped her hand, walked around behind me and ran her finger tips through my 3 week old buzz once again… “Muy corto! (Very short!)” Walks off, just as suddenly as she appeared.
2nd grade girls playing in a suitcase at recess... pretending first to be sending themselves to the United States... New York... San Pedro... Cortes
Before we knew it... time for "buses."
The end to another great day :-)
