New beds!

I think we mentioned that we have a new case worker... in case I didn't, well we have a new case worker.  We are still trying to figure things out when biomom chooses to not show up at a visit and so I called our new case worker.  She told me that she doesn't really know our case and she will have to check.  I detail out what I am talking about in the court paperwork and she says that she will check it and call me back.

She didn't call back.  Surprised?  Not me.  

Squirrel also called our legal liaison.  We had really high hopes with him.  He didn't call back either.

There was some mix-up with school and for some reason Sissy's teacher thought they weren't coming tomorrow (I have that fixed) and they sent home her week's work.  Here is Sissy's first diorama... there was a "tent" on it made of corn chips, but I think the dogs already ate it (Sissy doesn't know that).

Today we didn't have a ton of time with the girls.  Pick up from visit at 4:00; home at 4:30; unload truck and set up beds in room 5:00; dinner at 6:00; abbreviated walk at 7:00; and in bed by 7:45.  Yeap.  I put them to bed at 7:45. 

They were actually being quite difficult.  When we tried our walk Sissy would not mind and continued to run even when told she was far enough ahead and after two warnings we turned around and went home.  She complained the whole way home, but she is pretty quick on her feet and I can't leave the two year old to chase the 3 year old so we have to mind.  When we got home it was into the bubble bath and they immediately started fighting over who got to sit next to the faucet.  Some serious pushing and shoving that could end in injury so bath time was a speed bath with no playing.  I think they both were surprised that as soon as the fight started I turned the water off and started washing hair.  We typically give them as long as they like to swim and play in the bath.  I think we were done with it all in less than 10 minutes.  Sissy was just not having a great evening.  Since Bug was still in the bath I only partially dried Sissy before returning to Bug (I am more fearful when she is in alone) and left Sissy to finish and put on her pajamas.  She whined the entire time.  I pulled Bug out of the water, dried, and put her in her PJs and Sissy was still whining.  We did hair, books, and I left them for bed.  They were then quiet... it took nearly two hours for them to sleep, but they were quiet and content and they hadn't been all evening.  

I think their "new" beds will work out fine.  We left the crib up in case Bug had difficulties, but it looks like she will be better than Sissy.  We also just put the boxsprings and mattress on the floor for a few days until we are sure that Bug won't fall out.  If we need to we will get her a rail, but we thought we will just keep them as low as possible for a few days.  The beds will also be super cute if I paint them.

It seems that Bug may have taken all of the hand puppets to bed with her.  Along with her favorite book.  At least she lays in the center of the bed...

Sissy, however, has chosen to use the least amount of her new bed.
