I truly feel this was our first "test" of really being a foster parent (well, any kind of parent for that matter!) We had a great time! Little D was a total sweetheart, slept 13 hours a night, loves white milk and bananas and now Candy Land! I have a new admiration for my friends with kids now, kids are always ON...the only OFF switch is sleep;) I am not going to lie, I was a little overwhelmed Saturday morning, but by Sunday I was much more comfortable. I also have to keep in mind that D is a little attention starved, so he was just getting his "fill". Can't blame him considering all that he's been through in the last 3 months...
I am really excite to see the different little persons that will come into our lives over the next few months!
Awwww that is so sweet. I am glad you were able to give the little guy some much needed love over the weekend. Happy Love Day!!
ReplyDeleteso sweet!! i am sure he LOVED all the attention! be blessed.
ReplyDeleteRespite is a GREAT way to get your feet wet. We did respite for 8 kids before we were matched w/ our girls (to be adopted). It's nice because it eases you into becoming a full-time parent.
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!! I love running across other foster families in the blogoshpere! I am actually putting together a foster mommy panel on my blog, and have been looking for a 'newbie'.... would you possibly be interested?? Send me an email at larkinfamily1@gmail.com and I will give you the details.
