he moves around so much he almost has it falling off the bed....when I looked in at him, he was half sitting up so I tried to gently coax him over....In his sleep like stage, he gave me the finger.....yes He flipped me off in his sleep.....I know if it was an older boy and he did that, I would probably been upset, but it was the fact he was asleep and coming from a 9 year old boy is almost comical.....I wonder if that came from his real parents or older brother (11).....sorry, its late and I just had to share the humor of it....

Oh, Deanna, how funny! I guess we never expect to be flipped of by babies or gray-haired grannies in wheelchairs, hee hee hee. How patient and kind you are, and your sense of humor is great, too, to be able to see the really funny side of this. Hugs, Marji

Deanna, bless you for being there for them. At least you still have a great sense of humour and can laugh at the comical side of it! Boys will be boys!!!!

Love and blessings Chris

Thanks for sharing deanna, they can be trying, rewarding, humerous & disappointing at times I know but u r going to have memories that r unbelieveable & they'll stay in your heart for many yrs to come. *

Bless you!

it was so out of sinq and instant is why it was humorous....you right you don't know what to expect daily....

Since your charges are Foster kids, I'm sure that you never know what sort of life they have lived before they came to you. It's wonderful that you are there with them to give them a secure place to live. Glad they have you in their lives.
Wonder if there is a way to secure the pup tent onto the top of the bed, to keep the youngster from falling off? Can't think of a way of securing it, without causing a hazard though.
When my Aunt Ruth went on a job interview as a teacher in a nursery school, she was sent into a group room to interact with the children. She knelt down to speak with a little child who immediately slapped her in the face. My Aunt's immediate response was, "Sometimes I have days when I feel like that, too". My Aunt was hired and later became the director of the school.
Remember that the slaps in the face are just a result of the rough lives that were lived before the children came to you. Keep up the good work!
Love,
Jacqueline
