New placement!

We have been back on the list the last few weeks and have been waiting "patiently" for the call for a our next placement. So we were excited to get the call last night for a three year little boy. It was sad because the CPS workers were coming from the other side of town so we met in an IHOP parking lot to pick him up. Luckily he was asleep and didn't even wake up much for the transfer. He has two siblings, an older brother and a little sister so that breaks my heart they all had to be separated:( Last night went well, he was very tired and quiet but we were able to get him a bath, read to him, he helped tuck the big kids in bed and then we tucked him and he went right to sleep and slept all night without a peep. You wonder what is going on in their head of theirs! It must be so overwhelming. This morning he woke up happy, ate his breakfast and started running around playing with all the toys. We went to the park and he did great. He loves his backpack (the only thing he came with) and he is starting to talk more. He does have very little speech so far. I am sure this is the honeymoon stage but seems to be adjusting fine and we are so happy to have him for whatever amount of time and give him the love and consistency that he needs. Here we go again!:)
