One of the hard things about Foster Care, and I've read about it from other Foster parents, is that the "monthiversary" or "anniversary" dates to remember are the dates the child came into care or was adopted, etc. My baby celebrated her 9 month birthday, and it also escaped me until 10 minutes before her bedtime. The 3rd is the date of importance to me. The 3rd is the day my world came to a complete stop.
One month was the 3rd. Thursdays are the weeks. 1 week .. 2 weeks .. 3 weeks .. 4 weeks .. almost 5 weeks later.
Day 34 of my first foster care placement. 34 days feels like so long while waiting for something, yet looking backwards, I think I blinked.
My 9 months old is now crawling ... crawling fast! She is determined to get to where she wants to go. She is pulling herself up along the sofa, end tables, chair, laundry baskets, carseat, and anything else she can.
Time goes by too fast when one is in love. And this is the truth.
We take it day by day with lots of love, snuggles, book reading and floor time. We go to the park and go on walks and just enjoy so much that life has to offer us in this season.
I am really excited to experience a lot of things with this munchkin. I am excited to see where life takes me and her. I am excited to pour into her life in this season!
She is a mighty warrior. She is fearfully and wonderfully made. God delights Himself in her.
