Today, the teenager and I took the kids for their visit to mom. Mom looked okay, but I think I detected a bit of that slow mental speed that the folks at CPS tried to tell us about.
Let's start off with the meltdowns. Cath had one, because she didn't want to wear the dress mom Kristie laid out, Ham had a small meltdown because he didn't want to wear the clothes laid out. Jaz didn't melt down...ice water in those viens. :)
Mom showed up at 10:06 and greeted the kids. "Cake!" Cath demanded, because her birthday was yesterday. She's now 4. Mom didn't have cake, but did want to take them out to eat at Mickey D's. Of course, that was after the family pictures she wanted to take. Cath, from what I understand, didn't sit still for the pictures, thus holding them up for Mickey D's. So, they missed lunch, and mom didn't change Jaz's diaper during the visit. If I were CPS, that's a thing I'd be watching for, the fact that mother didn't even change the diaper. Needless to say, we did that as soon as we got home.
That was right after I stopped and got them kiddie meals at Mickey D's. Now, we are just waiting for Ham's ECI teacher to show up.
By the way, The teenager has been a godsend this week, I wish she'd stay with us. In case she reads this, her name is Kacey, and she's a wonderful young lady.
More tomorrow.......

I would think that is one thing they would look at is how she is with the kids....including changing diapers. I have faith that the system will let those sweet kids have a forever home with you and Kristie oh and the rest of us.
