The worker picked K up from school, and chatted with him on the way home. After such a crazy weekend all he had to say was that he saw cars racing at the fair and that he ate turkey. Thankfully our over the top, visit till you drop weekend didn't seem to traumatize him.
The worker and I did some grown up chatting and then something wonderful happened.....K asked the worker to peel his banana, and when she started to peel it, he did his yelling/crying thing, "I don't want you to peel my banana, I can do it myself!" Why so wonderful? Because it can be very difficult to explain to a worker what a particular behaviour looks like. And somehow, as if by some magic, most kids don't show their 'stuff' to workers. So when you are lucky enough for the worker to see it, it's a good day.
We're settling into a nice routine. A nice bubble bath, hopefully a poop, some peek a boo, and off to bed.
Honestly, this is one of the easiest foster kids we've ever had. I'm not complaining. Not one bit :)
