A Tommy update!

First and foremost, THANK YOU to all of you who've posted your kind and positive comments and expressed your support when I posted last night about how we've become foster parents to Tommy, who entered our world on 6/26/15 but who needs a family to care for him while his mommy makes some changes and adjustments in her life.

While my wife and I had been saying that out 15 year old son may well eat us out of house and home, BOY HOWDY does this 5 day old make him look like a piker! Every few hours, this 5 day old little rascal wants his bot-bot and God help us if we don't get him one PRONTO! This little bugger makes our teen look like he's on a hunger strike!

What amazes us now, as it did when our son was a baby is how they can change from hour to hour. He can do so much more today than he could do yesterday!

Yesterday I said that we'd love this little guy. Today I say that that was a very accurate prediction. Tomorrow, we have a meeting with his case worker and he'll have a visit with his birth mother. We completely support the goal of reunification, but when he goes home we're gonna miss the little jelly bean!

Thanks for reading again.

PEACE!
