Foster to Adopt Update


Naturally we've posted mostly about Bennett, but we wanted everyone to know we have a court date set to adopt our 3 1/2 year old!  It is June 20th, at 2:00pm which means we may have to wait if court is behind.  I SO look forward to being able to post pictures of him!  We have followed the foster care rules carefully which say we can't show images of him.  We are VERY excited, he is a fantastic little boy.  He loves to laugh, and lately loves to tease too.   He's pretty independent, wanting to do things "all by himself" which sometimes causes concern like when he walks out the door and says "see ya, I've got to go to my soccer game".  Of course he doesn't play soccer.  Maybe we should try that soon : )  This morning he was strumming Jared's guitar and singing his own song about staying inside (it's raining).  Sometimes he stops when I walk in but he just kept playin'.  Last night for FHE we had a lesson on honesty and then we sang the "Follow the Prophet" song while he played his ukulele.  So last night we downloaded the children's songbook.  He definitely likes music, although he says he can't sing, I suppose he's more of an instrumentalist : )  He has lately showed more interest in Bennett, the last few days he wants to talk to him or say goodnight.  That's nice to see because he struggled a bit at first like many kids do.  So overall things are wonderful at our house, I am thoroughly enjoying being at home full-time!
