I am now a seasoned foster mom - my husband and I received our license in October 2005, and we began taking placements in January 2006. This blog will be my way to share my story, to air my grievances, to share in the joys of the children we take in. We are licensed for three under 3 yrs old, and are currently full!

Is night really for sleeping??
Well, it's almost 4 am, and I've been up since 1:30 am. First, it was with Daniel. I think he's having some growing pains. He woke up twice tonight, rubbing his legs and saying "owie". I spent 30 minutes each time with him, rubbing his legs until he could fall back to sleep. The second time he wanted new jammies on - not quite sure what that was all about. As soon as I changed his diaper and put him in new jammies, he settled right down. Maybe they other jammies are itchy - I'll have to check that out later. At 2 am Gretchen decided she needed a bottle, so wwe cuddled in the rocking chair while she drank her bottle. I really need to break her of this waking up in the middle of the night for 2 ounces! She's 14 months old, and it's high time she slept through the night. But I'm a softie! I got her back to sleep, and went back to bed myself, and while trying to fall asleep I kept thinking of e-mails I needed to send out. So, I got up, sent the e-mails, and now, almost 2 hours later, I'm still sitting here at the computer. It just sucks you in sometimes! As soon as I post this, I'm headed back to bed. Hope you all were able to sleep better tonight than I was!

i wanted to stop by and thank you for viewing and commenting on my blog earlier, your comments were so very sweet.
i have enjoyed reading your posts, your kids sound so fun and wonderful! this post rang quite familiar with me as we have been going through this with our 5 year old for about 2 years now. his legs often ache at night with growing pains. we rub his legs and pray with him and tell him that the ache means he is growing bigger. i myself never had them, but my hubbie did.
hope you got some good rest.
blessings,

I seem to be going to bed later and later these days. I need to stop! Hope you got some sleep yourself.
