Big news (possibly) and a hearing test

K's worker called today.  It looks like a family member may be in a position to take K by the end of the month.

We won't know until the next court date at the end of November, and once the court date comes, he'll either move within a couple days, or he'll be with us for for another 3 months.

I'm really happy for him, it's way better for a kid to be raised in their family...and I'm sad for us, we've really enjoyed having him here.  It's good 'how not to wish for selfish things' practice.  We knew K would only be here for a 'short term' placement, but this could be shorter than most.  Either way, we have at least a couple more weeks.

I took K for a hearing test today.  Taking little kids for a hearing test is always entertaining and today was no different.  His hearing is fine :)

  1. I remember taking Rox for a hearing test shortly after she came. We had to go to Hamilton from Rockton. Her hearing came out fine and my first reaction was "what a waste of time!" and then my second thought was "would you have preferred that she has a hearing problem and this wasn't a waste of time?" Of course that was ridiculous!

    1. My foster kids are far better cared for than my bio children. Regular dentist visits, visits to the doctors, hearing tests, developmental assessments :)
