One of the biggest surprises this past month has been Moleboheng, one of our smallest children. She has slowly started to come out of her shell and blossom into a happy toddler. Moleboheng has always been slightly out of the group (and at times just plain “out of it”), and we have never been sure how well she would progress in her learning. But lately she has been surprising us all—she is smiling so much more, and we think she has begun to master the idea of numbers and counting! Wim recently remarked how during writing activities she managed to hold the pencil correctly all on her own, and she is even now going down for a nap in the afternoons. Granted, one of us has to lie down with her until she falls asleep, but she’s getting there!

Moleboheng used to cry all the time last year, and was so behind the rest of her peers. We think that she might have some sort of developmental disability, as she is so slow in her movements and physically is not where she should be. She needs help getting up and down the steps leading in to the bathroom and little kids classroom, and has a hard time getting herself up from a sitting to standing position. But we have been amazed at progress we’ve seen in her language skills, as well as her writing skills. She knows many of the songs we sing by heart, and can do the actions that go along with them. Moleboheng is talking so much more, is smiling and doesn’t cry anymore. She has also grown, and is so tall now!

It's a miracle! I am very proud of Moleboheng. She interacts well with everyone. She is not behind any more. She keeps up with all the children of her age group. She is friendly and loving and she perseveres. The other day she was building a puzzle and trying to figure it out. Tankiso who sat opposite her thought he would do her a favor and be of assistance. Well, Moleboheng did not like it one bit, she wanted to do the puzzle without Tankiso's help, and she did it! Good for you, Moleboheng.
