In our case, the parents have to jump through a lot of hoops for CPS before they can get their kids back. It makes it a little more difficult for them to run off with a few hundred dollars of freshly purchased stuff. Our crib, car seat and stroller will stay with us though as we purchased those items prior to becoming foster parents (it was a fit of optimism...what can we say?).Daddy Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01386749814126280114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970071813477046910.post-11386542729005447892012-06-07T03:36:18.565-05:002012-06-07T03:36:18.565-05:00I fell your pain we have or I should say they (inl...I fell your pain we have or I should say they (inlaws)have dumped a 2 mo old on our door . this i dont mind what i do mind is when mama (my wife) buyes a case of diepers and wipes 10 outfits crib and all manner of baby stuff (mama is like a nesting hen ) they will pick up thelittle poo factory and be goneMADDOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15749541264349786367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970071813477046910.post-42306361520797297312012-05-30T12:00:23.841-05:002012-05-30T12:00:23.841-05:00CTone, every once in a while, I come up with a goo...CTone, every once in a while, I come up with a good one.

Work, travel, kids...the usual excuses. The doc gave her barely a side long glance and grunted something non-commital before dropping the issue. I had had to leave the appointment before that point to catch a flight to Kansas City. The Queen was too busy trying to herd 3 house monkeys to force the issue. We have discovered that feeding her just before doing things like changing a diaper or putting her in the car really helps. That an a pacifier appear to be essential tools in keeping LMC a happy camper. After a bottle of rice cereal and formula this morning, she let me change a seriously nasty diaper with nary a fuss. So, here's to progress without an owner's manual or access to the manufacturer. <br /><br />Totally get the curdled milk in summer smell. My mother's first minivan after Twig and I Do It! were born smelled that way all the time. <br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement. It is much appreciated.Daddy Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01386749814126280114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970071813477046910.post-41158365675070654392012-05-21T01:01:44.628-05:002012-05-21T01:01:44.628-05:00You guys are amazing!

I was just going to tell you to mention it at her next check-up because that's strange. <br /><br />And the SCREAMING!! I could hear it in my head as you described it and it made me thank the Lord I will never reproduce again! Grace did it and she did it in the car until she puked EVERY TIME we were on a car trip. Do you know how much fun it is to have the smell of curdled milk filling your nostrils from somewhere near Granbury all the way to Grand Prairie? Especially in the summer? <br /><br />Sounds like y'all are rocking this parenting thing and I LOVE, LOVE you're teaching them manners!!

Is she just stubborn, or in pain? Maybe the doc can shed some light on that. I'm thinking ear/vertigo problems if she's consistently resistant to being supine.
