We have court again tomorrow. I can't say that I am super excited to be going. It's pretty much going to be like it was last time....wait for hours only to have a 1 minute hearing. It's the TPR advisory which basically just tells the parents (who I am pretty sure won't show) that TPR is being pursued. Hopefully they both have been served though and appear. I am praying that tomorrow brings a trial date and we can get this show on the road! The MBI (Manifest Best Interest) should be done soon after TPR. We are also praying that we get assigned to adoptions tomorrow as well which would mean that the adoption worker can start the paperwork/visits between aunt/uncle and us and start making her determinations as to where Choo Choo should live....permanently! I'll update tomorrow....
Now for a cute thing....
Choo Choo and I went to Costco today and on the way out they always check the cart and put a smiley face on the back. The sweet older gentleman said "happy, happy faces!" It made me think of Phil from Duck Dynasty if you have ever watched that stupid (but funny) show...so I taught Choo Choo to say "happy, happy, happy!" LOL! So this evening he was walking around and asking "where my happy, happy, happy?"
This kid talks SO MUCH for a just two year old. Sometimes it is sooooo cute and other times I think "oh my gosh...my 2 yr old should NOT be saying that!" He has picked up some of the negative words that my older kids say as well as some lovely phrases from his aunt/uncle's house. I was cracking up the other day when he was being so loud and obnoxious and I would only whisper to him. He kept saying "what?! what?! What you say? Talk! I talkin' you Momma! Talk!!!!!!!"
In other news....Michael is challenging us daily as parents. We have gone through this with all of our boys. The two's have nothin' on the 3's! He is smart, charming and funny, but oh....the crying, tantrums, drama, expressions, defiance, etc. We are closer to 4 than 3 now, so hopefully "magically" on his 4th b-day he will be our sweet, happy little boy again who says "yes, mama" and likes to cuddle and obey :) A girl can dream right?
Sharing the life experience of becoming foster parents to the least of these!

My mom SWEARS that 3 was worse than 2 for my brother. And she did have it almost turn like a switch when he had his 4th birthday. :)
Best of luck!!
I will be praying for you today!
