I feel like I should be rewriting the transitioning manual for CFSA. If the whole purpose of the eight week transition is to get the kids to know us and to help us to learn their habits and routines then let's bring more into it. Like instead of evening visits and saturday visits how about some morning visits. I have no idea what their morning routine to get ready for school might be. Going over in the evening and putting them to bed is very helpful. I know that I have three bundles of energy that don't want to go bed. Their bath routine is way to active to say go to bed right after.
I am taking off for the first week but knowing their routine would help. I guess I will ask if I can come and help get them dressed on morning. I understand the need not to get in their way of day to day living but there is no way around certain things.
We did start sending noted to the teachers to allow me to come and visit the class room.
Saturday morning with the boys was great. They didn't want us to leave. Foster Mom has started to drop hints to the boys that we are going to become Mommy and Daddy. The baby was excastic. Middle was OK with it. Oldest was like OK but what is going on.
DH is not feeling well this morning. He does have a bad cold but frankly he is just to easy to say I am not going in. I guess that is the difference between men and women. Women have learned each month to work through the pain if not we would be out once a week every month and that just doesn't work (although my boss does it every month. And annouces it).
He is sick though.
Our next meeting with the boys is Friday at chick - Fil-a from 6:30 - 8:30 pm. I have a game to play, and coloring books. The children are so active and you want to bond with them. Two hours without a plan under overservation could go so wrong.
