Kaybree the lover

By
Kaybree,

I love how loving you can be! You're getting really good at hugs and kisses. One time you even asked ME for a kiss, which was new and exciting! Hugs and kisses for mom and dad is my favorite part of our bedtime routine. You know it so well that after we pray, we hug and kiss. Sometimes I know you use hugs and kisses to extend your bedtime. You give me a hug and kiss, then Dad gets a hug and kiss and then you run back to me for another hug and kiss and then immediately run to Dad. You know it makes us laugh and we never turn down a chance to love you so yes, it does get you five more minutes of awake time.
I also love it when I'm carrying you somewhere and you hold on real tight.That let's me know you love me and are excited to be with me.
I think I just love feeling you little toddler hands and arms on me when you are not being whiny but just loving. Lately you've decided you like to do my hair. You run up behind me when I'm sitting on the ground and just move it around. It feels good for the most part so I let you.
You've been an amazing big sister to Eisley. I was so afraid because when I first got pregnant you did NOT like babies but you love Eisley. Every time I pick her up, you want to hold her. Every time I say something to her, you say something to her too.

This one makes me laugh. You were holding her, watching TV and then you peak over and see her trying to suck her hand, so you stop sucking your own thumb to move her hand away from her mouth--and then you go back to sucking your thumb. You're very loving but bossy too ;)

Lately I've been giving the two of you baths together. It makes it easier on me. I put the baby tub inside the big tub and unplug it so when I fill up the big tub the baby tub is filled too. Then I set Eisley in the seat of the baby tub and you in the big tub. She loves watching you play in the water. She smiles and coos the whole time you two are in the bath. She just kicks and relaxes in the warm water and you just play with cups and bowls. Sometimes I walk away for a second and come back to find Eisley with bubbles  on her head or a wash cloth covering her belly. She loves it and so do you! It's so sweet.
The first few times I put you in together this would happen. You both end up in the baby tub. I think now Eisley is kicking too much so you don't enjoy being in there with her as much but you still like having her in the tub with you.

My biggest challenge

By
I’m a writer by trade. I’ve always wanted to be a writer. I love to put my feelings into words. Yet, in the last month, I’ve been having a very difficult time vocalizing what’s happening in my life. It’s not because it’s been sad or difficult or anything like that. It’s mostly because there is someone new in my life who I care very deeply for who I feel this deep need to protect. I want to protect his identity, his story, his life. I don’t want to overstep any boundaries or crush any trust. I recognize the life he has lived has not been easy and so I tread lightly on this relationship we’ve built. But honestly—it’s a fantastic relationship. He’s an amazing kid. I’ve been asked to write a blog post for an organization that helps recruit foster parents about the first few weeks of being a foster parent. I’m having difficulty deciding what to write. I feel like anything I write about my case probably won’t apply to their case so it’s not very helpful. I keep writing drafts and then...

Kaybree is 8! Why does time go by so quickly? Even Kaybree thinks it went by too fast. Kaybree, you are amazing. You are a natural caretaker to your sisters. They don't always appreciate it but I do. You know just what to do to make Aspen laugh and you have no problem carrying her around. You never complain when she steals your snacks or makes a mess of whatever you were playing with. Just this morning I was sitting outside with Aspen and you came out with a piece of fruit leather you were eating for breakfast. As soon as Aspen saw you she got a huge grin and reached her hand out for your food and without a word, you gave it to her. You love dressing up and doing your hair. You've been letting it grow out for almost a year now and it's half way down your back, bright blonde and carefully brushed every day by you. Your room is spotless 90% of the time, with the exception of when you let Eisley or Aspen play in there and then you stay up all night cleaning it. You a...

Careers

"So I've got a friend, who I met at Frys. He's an older guy. He's got a car he wants to give me and soon he's starting a business so when I'm 18 and a half or 19 I think I'm going to move out and move in with him and work for him." "Doing what?" "I don't really know but he's going to have this business." "OK. Well, good luck with that. Get it in writing and get a title for the car." I walked away just shaking my head. Silently I thought "At least he didn't tell me he's going to become a rapper. He might as well though... A couple hours later I talked with him again. "OK, so I've been texting him and finding out more about this job." "OK." "So he's going to be a rapper. And he says we'll find something for me to do, something I'm good at. Something that will make me $1,000 a day and I can probably start doing it from home--maybe finding new beats online....
