So far since being licensed, we have had 3 adorable boys in our home. The first 2 boys were brothers, a 10 month old baby and a 2 year old. We only had them for the weekend (respite care) but they were so much fun! It went much smoother than we thought it would, all the kids played well together and the boys seemed happy to be with us. We were sad to see them go.
The 3rd little boy ("T") we had for 10 days (another respite case). He was a handful but he was also really sweet. I ended up getting Strep the day after he got here which made everything a million times harder! Luckily Torrey was home to help. He took all the kids outside to play in the pool all day while I rested. Olivia and "T" became best buds. They would each wear a backpack and pretend they were going to school, or they would push a stroller around the house while pretending to go to work.
It was bittersweet to see him go back to his foster family. Although I was definitely ready to go back to having only ONE active toddler in our home, I knew we would miss him and he would miss us.
