Double Yay

It's been a quiet couple days.  In the land of foster parenting that is a small miracle.  I love small miracles!

We were in Toronto on Monday and Tuesday.  We took a mini family vacation. We asked to take K along with us, but he wasn't allowed to miss a scheduled visit with his mom.  So the poor kid missed a day at the zoo.

We got him out the door for school on Monday and Rachel (who's living with us at the moment) watched him Monday night.  He was as happy as a peach when we got home Tuesday night around dinner time.

The last few nights K has asked for a sleepy song on his way to bed.  I don't know what song he's looking for.  I've been singing him one of my kids favorites, but I don't think it's the right one.  I'll have to ask his Mom at the next visit if he has a usual lullaby.

This wee man has had a hilarious vocabulary the last few days.  The list (that I can remember) of words that he has used, in context and without any prompting?
Fabulous
Buttercup
Fantastic
Marvelous
Double Yay
Stupendous

Honestly.  So funny.

I can't overstate how nice it is to have a little guy around who is fun and easy to live with.  I think I'll have to dredge a few stories out of the foster family archives to keep this interesting.  Stay tuned for tales that have reached legend status in the Richardson household  :)
