Every minute!

I enjoyed every minute with Little Train.  There were a few red flags because of attachment but he wont be here long enough for me to make a difference.  I will love on him every second I can when I have him here for respite next month. 

Got a call...

Got a call last Thursday.  For daycare.  Something I've never done before.  14 month old boy.  2 full days.  Would I be available?!  Um, it took me 2 seconds to say yes.  He was here all day on Friday and he's here all day today.  He is so sweet. Not walking

 Acclimated very fast.  Today, he reached for me when the worker dropped him off.  Be still my heart.  Sprout was apprehensive at first but they played well together.  We'll also have him for a whole week next month.  Blog name...Little Train. 

Waiting....

I know I say this every time we go a while between placements but...  

I can't decide if we're supposed to be done.   The last 2 calls didn't work out and my dream call, for NB twin boys out of the hospital, didn't work out.  My house is bursting at the seems with baby gear.  Our family is in such a great place right now.  Sprout is such a blast and my older kids are all in school.  I don't have to ask permission to go on trips or get anyone's hair cut.  No court drama.  No case workers stopping by unannounced...   I could go on and on.  

But.  

There's still a desire to be a resource for kids in crisis.  There's still the desire to snuggle a baby who'd otherwise not get the love and attention he/she deserves. There's still this crazy desire to keep going.  So, for now, I'll stay on the roller coaster.  Even though it's not moving right now.  It's pretty obvious our 'stop' hasn't come yet.
