A new friend

SJ has proven to be very resilient in her time here in Bonn. We dragged her a few thousand miles away from the only home she ever knew, but she adjusted.

We took her away from her friends at school and her extended family, but she adjusted.

When her family has come to visit, she has rejoiced in their arrival, and cried at their departure, but she adjusted.

She made her first 'best friend', in Tomas, but then he went back to Boston. It was sad, but SJ adjusted.

Now SJ has made a new friend, Jonah. Jonah is a bit younger than SJ, but he has still been a good friend at the park for SJ.

On a recent day in the park, SJ taught Jonah how to play "Ring Around the Rosy".
