The main house has
4 nurseries and the children are split up into them depending upon their
development. Malozie currently lives in what we call our “URG B” nursery. There are about 8 kids who live in this
nursery and it is the tikes who are getting up on their feet and learning to
walk. Most of them are
professional crawlers and can get where they would like to go but they are
working on that stability and confidence they need to take steps on their
own. It is an active nursery and
the kids from this nursery will join the Toddlers, who walk, on the nursery
balcony for their playtime.
Malozie’s day
starts between 6:30 and 7 am when the majority of the kids in URG B start to
rise. From 7:30-8am is breakfast
time. The kids will have anything
from cereal or scrambled eggs to spaghetti, depending on the day. After breakfast they get changed and
bathed for the day. The rest of
the morning is filled with playtime on the balcony either in the nursery with
their nannies or on the third floor balcony for one on one time with their
volunteer. They get a snack with juice around 9 am and then they will have a
naptime. Lunch is served at noon
and after that they are changed and around 1 pm starts the main naptime for
everyone. If they are not napping
they will go to the volunteer balcony for an hour in the afternoon. By 3pm most
of them are awake and they get a snack and juice. More play time on the nursery balcony before supper is
served at 5pm. After supper they
are bathed and dressed for bed.
This process will often last until 7:30 pm and after that they will wind
down and visit with each other from their cribs until the nannies tell them
they must lie down and be silent at 8:30 pm.
Malozie is one of
the most adorable and most cherished babies in the nursery. She has the sweetest disposition and
loves to smile and cuddle with anyone who spends time with her. She is starting to take steps on
her own and her nannies are always cheering her on in this. Her face lights up when she knows she
has done a good job. She is
interested in anything that is around her and will watch intently for a little
while before going to check it out.
She is very bright and will take time to learn how a toy works before
she moves onto something else. She
is definitely becoming more and more independent with her improved walking
skills. She really enjoyed the
gifts you sent her this month. She
smiled and giggled the whole time she was examining the gifts you sent and
looked at the photos of your family with a lot of interest. These gifts will be kept in a special
bin for Malozie that her current volunteer will bring out for her to play with
when she is on the balcony for playtime.
Thank you for sending these precious gifts for her to have and become
familiar with. You will find a few
photos of Malozie opening her gifts attached as well.
I am looking
forward to the day you get to come and meet this precious little angel in
person!
