For the littles

Lilah todl lilly she shold come say hi here
lilly did it a long time before
so hi

Hi MD kids,

I'm glad it's cooler there. It's been hot yesterday and today, but before that it was fine.

Hi Lilly!!

What kinds of things do you like to do? Do you like to play with trains? Do you like ice cream? We had some ice cream that was made by freezing it right away with liquid nitrogen which is really really cold. It was good! Especially the chocolate.

Bobby

Hi Everybody,

We are up early because Iain isn't feeling too good. I wanted to write here and get Iain to write so he feels better. I like Iain and don't want him to feel bad.

Bobby - You need some more train stuff! Maybe more tunnels and tracks. Is it an electric train that has wires? What kind of cargo stuff does it carry?

MD kids - Glad it's cooler where you are. It's not fun to be really really HOT!

Evan

Hi Evan,

I'm sorry Iain is feeling bad! I like him, too. I hope he writes so people on here can maybe help him feel better.

We're having a really bad day, but we ordered a bunch more train stuff for me, so that's nice. Lots of track, and another battery-operated train. The one we already have also uses batteries. You push a button on the top and it goes. So now we'll have two that can go by themselves and also pull other train cars. There's different kinds of cargo--I haven't looked at all of it.

It's still REALLY hot here, but I have a fan blowing on me.

The upset feeling we're having makes my stomach feel weird. I don't like it.

I hope you're getting to play today!

Your friend,
Bobby

Trigger warning for csa
Mommy’s boyfriend is here we think he’s staying tonight . It’s scary for us when he’s at our house at night because our daddy used to hurt us at night . We think he’s a good guy who won’t hurt us but still scary-lily and alisha

Hi lily and alisha - If the boyfriend acts bad I think you should tell the adults inside to make it safer. I hope it goes alright.

Hi Bobby,

Lots of train stuff!!! We like ordering stuff and getting boxes on our door step! It's like presents! You have to tell me about all the stuff and how it goes together ok? We spent the day in the shop with Colin making shelves. It was hot but it was fun. I got to watch and then play with my knights and we got to watch the Cars movie again and had graham crackers. We have to ask Host to buy us stuff because we're not allowed to use the credit card. He never used to want to buy toys but now he's ok with it as long as it does cost too much (like a robot or something).

A long time ago we used to take toys from other kids houses. Iain said that was wrong but they had LOTS of toys and we didn't have ANY! And when Host found them he got embarrassed and threw them away. That was before Host was ok with us being here. Now Host buys us our own stuff and we promise not to take stuff anymore.

Evan

Hi MD kids,

I hope it will be less hot soon!!!!

Hi Evan,

I'm happy for you that you have toys now and get new ones sometimes! Do you think working with wood (like what Colin does) is fun? What kind of toys do you like?

Hi Lily and Alisha,

That sounds very scary. Do you have a special plushie that protects you?

Hi Bobby,

Trains are so cool! Do you make up your own track patterns?

I made a sled with Lego the other day, not a sledge... I just thought that was the right word. The one I made is pulled by a Lego dog!
I haven't gotten to play more. But yesterday we went to the unicorn again and it understood my secret code of breathing and that made it listen to us. Its ears were moving very carefully. That shows they pay attention. and then on the smallest cue they listen!
When my body fit me, people said that I was too stern with horses. But I made them listen! I thought that if they didn't listen they didn't want to listen and then they had to be punished. But then I learned more and actually they always try to listen but sometimes if you are not clear enough they don't understand. So you have to be very clear about what you want and then they will always try!

T is away now. Fox shared with her how I felt .... you know, that she won't come back. I wanted to ask her for something that is valuable to her so I can keep it and she will come back for that. She gave me something and I feel..... it hurts a bit that she is nice. She also said that I am not worthless and that made me want to jump up and into her arms, but I know it's not allowed. So then maybe it just makes me want to run and jump outside. I feel more connected to two other kids too. They are called Sarah and Nero. Nero and I have played sometimes already, but Sarah was hiding herself. Now she is here and sometimes she makes me want to cry. I don't like that but i still try to be nice.

- Robin (with help from Fox)

Hi Robin,

I'm glad you and your T are getting along. That's important.

I don't get to touch the tools in the workshop because they are sharp!!! And the table saw is LOUD and scary! We always wear eye protection and sometimes a dust mask and ear muffs so our ears don't get hurt. Colin lets me have the funny little wood shapes if they're not part of what he's working on.

Bobby - How is your stomach??? Stomach aches are awful!!!! Get better soon ok?

Evan

Hi Lily and Alisha,

I hope things went ok last night.

Hi Robin,

That's nice that your T gave you something so you'll know she will come back. We have something all the time that the T gave us, and Little wanted to know if he loves it and he said yes. So now she knows it's really important to him but he's letting it be with us.

We know about each other in here, but all the kids feel very separate.

We're not good yet at setting up the train tracks. I think we need to practice. There's a little book that has different ideas for how to set them up, so we might use that.

It's really cool that you can talk to a unicorn!!!

Hi Evan,

My stomach doesn't feel as weird anymore, but a lot of people are upset. Two really hard things happened last week and we're still waiting to find out how bad they are.

Also, it's REALLY REALLY hot here, and that's no fun.
