Oksanichka

This morning, I left early so that I could go to Силпо and buy some diapers to take with me to the Children's Hospital. (If anyone is interested in helping out with providing diapers- let us know! They REALLY need them!!!)
Once there, I checked with the nurses to see if I could work with the babies (the 'caution sign' was still hanging up on the entrance door). I got the head nurse's approval and headed down the corridor.
I worked with the two smallest babies first 4-5 months old, I think). We did some range of motion exercises, tracking objects with their eyes, tummy time and lots of hugs. I could see they were both getting over some pretty bad colds.
These two fell asleep and I spent the remaining hour hanging out with Oksanichka. She is one of the older babies (9-11 months-ish). She seems to be developing at the appropriate rate. She just has funky posture when she is sitting unsupported.
We did some exercises, some tummy time and playing with some scrapes of cloth and my phone (where the little toys went- I do not know...).
I had downloaded this free App on my phone for Solomiya; it is a picture of a zoo filled with animals and when you touch them they make noises. Oksana loved it!

After the hospital, I walked along the river on my way to see Ludvic (CVA patient).
Beautiful day!
