How's it going? Is LO home with you? I can't wait for placement day. The foster carers have been amazing and I fall more in love with LO every day but now I don't like leaving him when I go. And it is exhausting all this tooing and froing! But worth it a million times over! X

Our little one came home for good last Friday and OMG what a little star she is!! She's definitely found her voice and the tantrums have started but we need to remember she's a toddler and it's a good sign that she's comfortable enough with us to show her naughty side. She gives cuddles and kisses galore but will stay close to us if another person is in our house (gran and grandpa have already paid a surprise visit)

She sleeps 12+ hours a night with a 2 hr nap during the day - I think her wee brain is exhausted trying to process all the changes to her little life.

Our journey to get here was very long and very tearful at times but to see her gorgeous smiling face in the morning makes it all worthwhile.

Ps good luck Chev123 and Imkeeping for your placement days - I was surprised how stressful it was - we were so aware of how heartbroken her FCs were to say goodbye to her and felt so guilty - it felt like we were stealing their baby but bringing her home was amazing!!
