Baby Girl continues to go to physical therapy every week. She is making great progress in the areas of sitting, rolling, reaching and (just today) showing me that she can lay on her tummy and turn in a circle to follow a toy...a WHOLE 360 degrees!
However, after a few minutes of sitting, rolling and doing lots of playing, she tires pretty quickly. Earlier this week, I sat her in the floor with some toys and walked into the kitchen for a few minutes. She began to fuss, but I just figured it was because she didn't want me to be out of her sight (she's got a little Mommy-itis). So, I just allowed her to fuss for a bit. When I returned to the living room to check on her, this is what I found:
She slept that way for almost half an hour. It cracked me up.
As for her case status, we head back to court for her on June 18th. At that time, her birth mother's rights could be fully terminated, barring no outlying circumstances or misplaced paperwork. I am praying that God will allow her case to move swiftly and without mishap. After the hearing on June 18th, birth mom will have 30 days to appeal the termination (if such is ruled on that day). After 30 days with no appeal, she is legally free for adoption! Her adoption should go rather quickly since we will have just completed an adoption pre-placement assessment for Aaron's adoption (that assessment is good for 18 months).
And since I brought it up, Aaron's case should be closed out and he should be fully adopted by mid-June. The last bit of paperwork is due to be turned in on Friday, then his adoption social worker will take our profile to the adoption board. Once approved, all we have to do is file the paperwork with the clerk of court and wait out the 10 day waiting period. I was hoping he would be "official" by his first birthday (June 6th) but that isn't looking likely.
This weekend is Homeschool Convention, so I will be gone, gone, gone all weekend, soaking up Homeschooling knowledge (and probably clawing my eyes out by Friday evening). But, before I leave you for the weekend, be sure to check back tomorrow for Das Not Funny! Friday. Tonight was Gold Medal night at gymnastics and I have a few pictures that just make me chuckle, and I'm sure they will you too.
