The Creepies!

Let me tell you about my favorite group of children here at TLC.  They are the creepies. Ages 1-1 1/2 years. 

Leah is a typical african.  Well She will be when she grows up.  She has a big bum, tummy and cheeks. Right now she has four teeth so when she smile it is the cutest thing you have seen. He eyes turn to slits. He cheeks take over her face and her four teeth show. She is a sweetheart. Always giving kisses to others and hugs.  And her laugh is precious. She is a huge helper, always helping push a stroller filled with a younger child on walks.

Barbra does her own thing. When you want her to go left she goes right. When you want her to walk she stands still. It takes a lot of coaxing to get her to follow. A bit hesitant. The other day she was wearing pants that kept falling down. She went on walking around with them around her ankles till she fell over. It was funny. Eventually we found her pants that fit.

Gregory is explained by my favorite shirt for him "Here come trouble"  If someone is not napping- its Greg. If someone is throwing or eating dirt- its Greg. If someone is crying- its Greg. But he is too cute. And he loves his food. Always eating up lunch and dinner and wanting more snack at snack time.

Josh is the littlest full timer we have in creepies. He just moved up from Grubs. He can walk. I have seen it and each day he walks more but always chooses to crawl. He seems to be a favorite of the day volunteers that come once in a while. He is next on the list for adoption so soon he should have a mom and dad. Which is exciting but a little said that we will have to say goodbye to him.

Chris is the oldest.  So smart and always smiling. He is going to start going to preschool with the Lions soon. He has a great laugh.

Allen comes to us for the day from the next farm over. His foster mom helps run the Nursery here at TLC. He is a monkey. Long and lean. He doesn't walk a bit. He is officially the youngest of the group.

Rose is our newest. She and her sister came almost a week ago.  She is an explorer. Since basically everything here is new to her. She is also a sharer. She tries to give her food to others. I think this comes from growing up with no food and having a little sister. Its sweet. She is quite a bit smaller than she should be since her mom drank while pregnant. Still learning her name. Actually she is having to learn the english language. But she is doing great and fitting in just fine. Leah always goes up to her and says "baby" and gives her a kiss. Too cute.

The creepies are each so different. But so much fun. I pushed them for an hour on the swing the other day each one loving flying high and spinning. They cried when I would take them out.
