Wow! It has really been over a month since I last posted. Not much has happened until now. We got a new foster boy. His name is Tristin. He is really a "wild ball of fire". He came to us extremely hyper but has calmed down a little bit but still has temper tantrums especially when his Mom leaves. I am sure he is just confused as to why he can't go back with Mom whenever he sees her. He is 4 tears old and is only 32lbs. I took him to the doctor today for his 4 year check-up and ended up leaving w/a finger poke for a lead test and 5 shots. YIKES is all I have to say. The 5th was the H1N1 Flu Vaccine. Giving shots to a 4 year old is VERY challenging because they kick and scream. I commend the Nurse for doing such a great job and keeping him contained.
He currently goes to Head Start and also attends a Developmental Pre School to help with some development skills needed for pre school. The teachers do extremely well with him for him only being there since September. He really enjoys playing with Natalie. They like to hide under her and Corbin's crib. Just some things I have discovered over the last few weeks is his favorite color is green and his favorite toys are transformers. Don't like the fact that at such a young age he likes Transformers where they are so violent but we jut have to teach him about violence. I am trying to possibly get him transferred to a home on Coeur d'Alene so he can stay with the teachers he has now. If he lives with us until his Mom gets her life back in order he will have to be transferred to Rathdrum schools with new teachers and then be put on a waiting list or Rathdrum head start which wouldn't be good for him. I can only do so much so we will see.

This is his look of "what do you want"!
