Analia got to do some NEW, VERY FUN things in India. She got to drive the car and motor bike(with help). Uncle Senthil was very patient with her and let her get away with murder--we will be back to normal today!! She got to play with lots of animals. She especially liked the puppy and the rabbits. But, they also had geese, chickens, sheep, and cows. She would go around looking for that puppy (quickly learned that word). When she found him, he would often pull at her dress or jump up. She didn't like this at first, but toughened up later. Analia loved to be "decorated" by the high schoolers. There were some beautiful flowers there and for once she let things be put in her hair. While we were waiting for the high schoolers to finish their shopping an "auto" driver (small blue taxi) drove up. Having nothing better to do, he let her sit in the driver's seat as well as in the back. Then he turned it on and let her drive around the small parking lot!! I was grateful for the distraction. Waiting is not one of her strengths! Also, (not pictured) She got to play the drums in church. I was horrfied, but she thought it was great. Of course, she kept playing after the song was over! I think the greatest thing was just the chance to be "free." You learn a lot about what they like when they choose. Ana loves rocks, picking them up, making piles, and throwing them!! She likes to pick up handfuls of dirt and make piles of that. She loves stairs. She got quite good at going up and down by herself!! She had favorite high school students to swing with, walk with, and have them carry her. I'd never seen her have a preference before. I think she had a great time and am glad she could do these fun activites that aren't possible in Singapore!
