3 kids and a bird

Meet Brando. His family including his mom(mum for the Aussies)and 3 sisters are all studying and make up about a third of the assistance at the Paílon Sunday meeting. ( it's only a group) Brando is only 11 and already works with his dad. Driving motorcycles around and hacking up huge meat carcasses for his family's butcher shop. It's hard to pull him away from working to sit and study but usually chocolate chip cookies get him seated pretty quickly. 

This is Kyria and Gabriella. Gabriella is the adorable daughter of one of my studies who lives way out in the boonies or woop woop of Paílon. Little Gabriella is usually causing a ruckus and never lets her mom pay attention but Kyria enticed her with showing her pictures on her iPad and they quickly became friends. They actually became such good of friends during that study that little Gabycita was kind enough to pee on Kyrias lap... She must have been really relaxed:) I laughed all the way home! Kyria says, " anything for the truth."

The picture you are about to see is of Greta. The infamous Greta. I am going to just put it out there that she is the most ill-behaved child I have ever seen. She also has fear of me(Taylor). Let me explain. The family got a baby parrot and Greta decided to take scissors and give it a bald patch as well as cut it's wings to an unhealthy degree. I was so mad and she said she was going to do it again so I may or may not have told her that I would shave her head if I saw her even touch the bird again. No further harm has been done to the bird but the poor piglets are now getting the brunt of her attention. 

Kyria has the privilege of studying with her. Greta is the sister of hard working Brando( first picture). Last week just when Kyria thought she was making some progress, Greta gets up in the middle of the study and squats and pees on the floor just outside the dinning room where they were studying... She will take some time but we won't give up. 

This daring parrot (like the one Greta took scissors to) Was hanging upside down right above me trying to talk to me throughought an entire study. If he wasn't doing that he was higher up dropping leaves on me trying to get be to grab him. Once he was in my hands he was fine. But yes... Once again Taylor has bird problems. What's new?!
