Baby Invasion

Oh, hello. It's been a while, I know.  It has taken some time to rebound from our experience with Manny.  (Pop on over the Mama Drama  Times Two for details.)  

But when the Department called with a one week respite placement for a 1 year old boy, we said, YES. 

Babies are good.

They're small.

They don't use profanity--at least, if they do, it just sounds like cute baby jibberish.

They smell good.

They think you are the best thing in the world because you feed them and make funny faces.

They're a little more work sometimes but they don't zap the last ion of energy from you.

I could go on...

So, Baby Boy J arrived for his 10 day stay. 

OMG what a sweet little guy.  Wonderful temperment.  Great appetite.  Sleeps through the night...

Then another call from the Department and on day 5 of Baby Boy J's stay, Baby Girl A arrived--an adorable 16 month old girl.  Sweet, but sometimes fierce, temperment (I like that in a baby).  Great appetite.  Sleeps through the night...

OK! TWO babies!!!

Hundreds of dollars worth of educational toys and the dog dishes are more interesting

Then, our first foster daughter, Amber, came by with her little boy.  Adorable.

Did we mention that babies are good?

  1. At first I was all, "ohhhh, babies are so sweet" and I was happy for you. THEN!!! I saw that you had Corey in your house too and I stopped being happy for you and started just being jealous. :P
