And so it begins.

We have finally received our first foster placement. We currently have a 5 year old boy, let's call him CM.

CM will most likely not be here long. Just a few days.

We received the call at 4pm today and he came to our house at 9pm. Caleb LOVES him. Maybe we should have older kids, huh? Sure made for a super fun evening. They played Wii together. Now is the challenge. All 3 of the boys (Jon, Caleb and CM) need to go to sleep NOW. This is at least an hour and a half past Jon's bed time. And CM has NO desire to go to bed. Anyone know how to make a 5 year old go to sleep.I get it, he was dropped off at a new house, and needs to go to sleep. It's hard stuff. But, lil man, I AM TIRED. And you need to sleep.

So prayers for sleep please.
