Ayla was giving her doll a bath today in her old tub from when she was a baby. Well, without real water or soap. After awhile she shouted out from the living room "Hey Mom, I still fit!" She such a goofball.
Chary has recently started sitting on the potty. She hasn't actually gone yet, but she talks about it and likes to practice. She also likes to read. One time she was sitting on the potty and while trying to go, she tooted. She looked alarmed and yelled "OH! POOP!"
Ayla had a princess feast the other day. She made sure to feed Ariel, Aurora, Belle and Rapunzel based on what they "ordered" from her.

These are Ayla photographs. Almost every time I upload pictures to the computer, I find pictures that she has snuck off and taken. I decided post a few, they totally crack me up.

Things are going well for us. Dailon is staying home from school on Wednesdays so that he can do fun summer activities with us. So far we've been to the zoo, the pool and enjoyed a picnic at the park. He enjoys being home and being a apart of the action and the girls love having him around.
C&D's case is big mess right now. Goal is still listed as reunification with bio parents but you-know-what has been hitting the fan lately. They don't want the kids to go on vacation with us in July, they'd rather they go to respite(a stranger's home, who is licensed with the state) than go with us. Definitely NOT in the best interest of the kids however that doesn't seem to matter to them, ever. The kids have come so far in building trust and improving behaviors. It would send them into a downward spiral to move them for a week. Now it is in the hands of the courts so we take a deep breath and pray that whatever happens is God's will and all will turn out the way that is supposed to.
