Tamara



While I was in Jamaica, my mom and I
went to the school run by Robin's Nest
that is for the younger children who
are at the orphanage and a few of the
kids in the neighborhood! Anyway...
it's a great school, and my mom and I
got to go watch the kids get ready for
school! They started out by some playtime
and then they sang some songs together,
read a story, and recited stuff like the
days of the week and the months of the
year. The teacher called on Tamara (she's
three and lives at the nest) to recite the
days of the week. Tamara gets up and
says them while ticking them off on her
fingers.

Tamara: "The days of the week are Sunday,
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurday,
Saturday!"
Teacher: " TAMARA! Noooo! The days of the
week are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thurday, FRIDAY!!!!, Saturday!"

Tamara stands back up and tries again...

Tamara: "The days of the week are Sunday,
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurday,
Saturday!"

On and on it goes! she couldn't remember
Friday! Later in the week I heard her
practicing and she was still forgetting Friday!
It was too cute! God bless!
