This week has brought many new and interesting experiences...

Bonnie (doing M4 elective MCW) and I did 1:1 childbirth educ with a 16 yr old "mom-to-be," visited St. Francis several times to stay involved in finding group home placement for one of our pts with complicated mental illness, and took our new nutrition "toys" to teach 4/5 year olds the importance of eating healthy at a local school.

Tomorrow...more home visits ending with a delightful 80-something woman who says she feels like she's "falling apart" and needs some advice from us:)

Oh...one of the week's highlights was teaching a Somali breastfeeding class with the help of our interpreter on site at a day care center where the women are employed.

Had great time talking with teen girls Friday at AJA group home. Dr. Bonnie and I are going back tomorrow...wonder what questions they will have for us???? Made them "puppy chow" since they never get anything homeade:)

Sex and guys are the hottest topics!!! Who could have guessed?
