quebec day 3

May 26, 2013: Quebec day 3
Port day. 9 am call. The youngest boy we have (aside from the three-year-old that really shouldn’t come because he’s not fully potty trained) wanted to spend the morning in Club HAL. He’s an interesting child to work with; he comes in saying he loves MarioKart and wants to play, wants to play it, but then after a few minutes of playing will get frustrated, give up and say it’s too hard for him and sit there just watching the rest of the race. I was kind of glad when his mom came to get him and he wanted to go off the ship with her. Most of the tweens came and I had the rest of the afternoon with them, which was very much a relief and a much easier job for me! The girl I found out, likes to draw and is really good at it, so she alternated between finishing a picture of a horse and playing Wii with the boys.

Lights Camera Acton night. I gave them little over an hour for free time before we started our night. They were all upset about having to stop playing Wii, but at least they got into it after a while. We made stars for our wall of fame, painted hands and put handprints on the wall of fame as well, and played “celebrity heads.” We just got a shipment of supplies that are slowly making their way to Club HAL. Conveniently, Carly came up tonight with this game that’s exactly like our celebrity heads, but there’s mickey mouse ears you wear and put the card/name on, and it’s all based on Disney characters! Even the tweens loved it! It was a very successful night in my opinion! Hour forward, so I went to bed early
