A call from the little man!

K's last day of school with us!

K moved out of our house on December 6th.  We bustled out the door to Haiti to meet our daughters on a two week visit.  We came home from Haiti to a house that seemed extra quiet.  We'd just left our daughters in Haiti, and K's room was sitting empty.  It was a lot of emotions to process!

A bright spot in our toddler free holiday was a phone call from K. I make a point of getting along with parents when their kids are in our house.  It just makes things easier.  Usually I'm successful, so when K moved out, his Mom said she'd keep in touch.  To be honest, most parents say that....and almost no one ever does.

When we got back from Haiti, I sent a quick text to say Merry Christmas, and much to my surprise we got a call the next day!

And just like that I find myself the one on the other side of the phone.  I'd been supervising/coordinating calls between K and his Mom.  I am one happy lady that I; kept all those appointments, let K talk for as long as he wanted, and was friendly with his Mom.  Because now I'm happy that she let's him call and that he can talk for as long as he wants.

We miss K dearly.  The house is really quiet.  But chatting with him now and then really helps.

He seems to be doing well....but it's hard to get good info from a 4 year old :)

And just like that, it's the end of one of the best foster placements we've had.  We miss you K!
