Foster Care

I suppose that I should have mentioned this sooner, like several months ago. My parents are foster parents now. They took classes for ten weeks about how its done and what to do in different situations. And now we have little kids at our house all the time. We started with a five month old boy and his five year old sister. We had them for a little over a month. They went back to their mom and three days later we had two more. These ones are harder. There is a little one year old girl and her brother who is two. The little boy, Kadyn ( apparently in foster care you have to have a odd name that is usually spelled wrong) talks all the time and you can't understand a word he is saying. He's crazy (running and screaming) and says "hi, how you doing" every five minutes. Elizabeth is very cute, she's just learning to walk and is so proud of her self for doing so. And right now she is crying because she is tired but she cries even louder when she is put in bed. She usually goes right to sleep. They have visits with their mom three days a week so that gives us a nice break. However, they don't nap well on the days they are gone so they are always crabby when the transporter drops them off. But they don't want to go to bed, we have a theory about caffeine.
