Fostering The Love In Kansas

9/28/2015 Here is what I have learned from being a foster mom for 28 days.  1. Best feeling in the world is when Little Man sees me when I come to pick him up at daycare and he launches himself into my arms.  2. The knowledge that I and Little Man are not alone on this journey. The amount of people cheering us on and lending a hand is awe inspiring.  3. Attitude truly is everything. When I'm safe in the knowledge that he is staying, our relationship went to a whole new level and that is solely because he knew I was happy  4. If a child is quiet for even a few minutes, check on them. Little Man pooped in his room, on the carpet, and hid it for several hours.  How do you even address that??? 5. While I tell myself and others that this is a job, my heart belongs to this little boy. I am his mommy.  All it takes is a hose, a bike, and a boy to create happiness. 

9/7/2015 Someone got a 3 wheeler from his Amee and Papa. Thanks for making him even more mobile (drenched in sarcasm). What amazes me, is that he is so interested in going going going....He can't/won't pedal it, just uses his feet.  He was so tired. My knee is in desperate need of surgery and I'm fat and old so it's hard to keep up with him. But the smile he had while riding was priceless.
