Mmk. This is Mihai. Talk about a punk. I worked with him for three hours every day. This kid is a CHARMER! If you even looked at him he would just smile and smile and laugh. Of course it was all a ruse for attention, and it worked pretty dang well! Mihai has cerebral palsy, doesn't talk, can't move much, is as smart as a whip and will do anything to get his way. This may include learning how to breath through a narrow slit between his lips when we would plug his nose to get him to open his mouth so we could feed him his disgusting food, or it might entail learning how to wiggle off the couch and make a break for the door in the short time we turn our backs to watch the other children. Seriously though, I love this kid. He truly is such a charmer and has an incredible desire to learn that is truly rare in an orphanage. With the proper love and guidance, he could go very far and have a pretty happy life.
