So, Cash was dropped off and E. Stone and I went to the mall to meet my mom, play and have lunch. I picked Cash up right after the visit and got a report that he was very fussy. My baby? This kid is the furthest from fussy! The caseworker asked if I could bring a bottle next time because they couldn't find another way to soothe him. No, I will not be bringing a bottle because he doesn't need to be fed, he was just fed and we don't just feed babies because they are fussy - that's one of the "feeding issues" he had when we got him! She didn't seem happy with my answer, but she wasn't upset with me either. It took us a good thirty minutes to get back to the mall and settled - I fed Cash then and he was by no means starving!
Work on the house continues to progress. The electrician is here today and is wiring for all of our new lights. He put up a fan in the main living room since we didn't have one and that's going to be a Godsend - just getting the air moving in this 105 degree heat makes all the difference! I can't wait for the playroom to be finished - I have some great ideas for decorating it and can't wait to have all the extra space for the boys to play.

Gee - maybe he was fussy because he doesn't want to be with bio mom and away from his home and people who love him so much, did anyone think of that?
So glad to hear that construction is progressing well and that you decided to go for the fan in the living room! Wonderful!
Our foster care supervisor has made the BIRTH MOTHER pack Daisy a diaper bag. She is expected to bring a bottle, toys, food, diapers and wipes. It should NOT be your responsibility. Especially if you have just fed him at home. Why does it seem that they try to make it SO easy on these people??? Sometimes I'm glad to hear that Daisy was fussy. I'm sure it's easy to be a parent for only an hour a week!!! Stand your ground. I hope this time of visits is over VERY QUICKLY for you and sweet Cash! P.S.- Will you share the boys birth names and your secret of how you 'changed' them with visits still going on???
I have always told both the boys that they have a voice and if they want to fuss when something isn't going their way, they are more than welcome to do so - it's all they have! So, if Cash doesn't want to be there and wants to let others know about it, then so be it - you go my vocal little one!
As far as the names, we just don't ask questions and when I correspond with CPS I do use his birth name. We've asked the pedi to call him by Cash and he understands the situation - really medical is the only place you run into the problem. I try to do everything with CPS via e-mail just so it's in writing, so it's easy to keep straight.
