Getting to know Mattea


Mattea was a little more quiet with the whole gang present. They told our facilitator that she will take a few days to get used to all of us, before she shows her personality.

On Tuesday, they took us to a larger room for the kids. Estuardo had a fun time with the equipment.

Here you can see just how tiny Mattea is. She is standing next to Estuardo, who is 32 months old. They are just about the same height, but he is definitely heavier than she is.
My visit with Mattea went very well yesterday afternoon. She came into the room happy and smiling, saying "mamamama"!! I played with her for a few minutes and then took out a fruit leather and fed it to her a bit at a time, and she got SO excited! Waving her hands, big smiles, and reaching for more. So that was a big hit. I am glad she is starting to relax a little!
