Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you "The Crazy Eight!"

We finally have some pictures of the kids! I'm so excited to introduce them to you all! I am convinced that these are eight of the cutest kids in the whole world! They each have such unique personalities, and each one of them has stolen my heart! It's so much fun to arrive at Agape every morning and have eight sweet faces run to greet us, with hugs and kisses, saying our names in their cute little accents! I wouldn't trade those moments for anything and I am so blessed and grateful to be here in Chiang Mai and be apart of these kids lives...even though it's only for a very brief time. 

So here they are! The crazy eight! 

This sweet girl is quiet and independent and loves to play on the playground! She rarely likes to be held or cuddled and likes to do things on her own. :) She loves to sing and dance and play on the slide all by her self!  

She loves her rice! :) 

This little guy may be small, but he is the leader of the pack! He is ALL BOY and loves to run, yell, and climb! He is also a TALKER! He talks non stop and I would give anything to be able to understand him! He has the sweetest voice! He loves to repeat the few English phrases he does know like: "I FON A BIGGGG ONE" when he finds sticks and rocks on the playground, or "SIT DOWN!" to his little buddies when its time to eat. He also loves to say "AMEN" (he is usually the loudest after the prayer) and "HALLELUJAH!"  

This goofy guy is the sweetest child you will ever meet! He loves to cuddle and be "babied." He is very clever though, and knows how to "work the system"...often earning him extra snacks and treats from the nannies. He is CUTE and he knows it. ;) He loves to hold and play with anything that's small and calls it "baby." He loves to go visit the babies in the play room next door. He blows them kisses and always asks if he can hold them...even though they are just as big as he is. ;) He is fearless (which is not always a good thing!) and is a great climber! He is VERY strong for being so little!   

This little one LOVES to SING! And say "YAY!" "AMEN!" "HO! HO! HO!"(he is a HUGE Santa Clause fan!) and "NO WAY!" He loves receiving encouragement and giving hi-fives. He is also all boy and is a fast runner! He loves going on walks and often runs ahead of everyone else. :) He enjoys to cuddle too and can always be found sitting in someone's lap. He is such a sweetie pie!  

This little man's smile will melt your heart every time! As you can see, he has the longest  eye lashes ever...watch out ladies! ;) He has a very tender heart and is very protective over the younger kids in our group...even though he is only a few months older than they are. He always wants to push the little girls in the wagon when we go for walks and looks for flowers to put in their hair. He loves to jump on the trampoline and run like the wind.     

This precious little girl is the youngest in our age group. She loves to count her fingers and toes and when we sing "If you're happy and you know it." Her favorite thing to do on the play ground is swing! She even fell asleep on the swing once! It's her favorite place to be and is where she is the happiest! She does a great job at keeping up with the older kids and makes sure she is noticed...at all times. :)        

This may not seem like the greatest picture to you, but it really captures every single part of her! 

This little Angel is so sweet and is the definition of Miss I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T! She loves to play with baby dolls and is great at keeping the boys in line. The slide is her favorite place in the world! She is always so sad when we have to come in from the playground. She loves having her hair fixed, and likes to look at herself in the mirror. :) She enjoys pulling things (flowers, grass, weeds) from the ground and giving them to the nannies or her friends. She is always smiling and has the cutest laugh!

This girl is a FIRECRACKER! She is the oldest in our  age group and is our "crazy girl." She LOVES to sing, dance, and jump along to music and is always moving. She is very girly and enjoys wearing dresses and having her hair fixed. She will often take out her hair several times a day and ask one of us to do something different with it.  She is really silly and laughs all the time...She has so much joy! As you can see, she also loves having her picture taken. :) 

  

Well, there you have it! Our Crazy Eight! :) 

I'll be posting more pictures from our time at Agape soon!
