So much to say! Well, we finished up shopping for the foster kiddos we were sponsoring Christmas for and had the gifts delivered on Dec 1st. I went and picked up the kids from school early so they could help deliver them. Since the April tornadoes, DFCS has moved from Ringgold to Fort Oglethorpe, so taking the kids was less traumatic than it might have been since they always got antsy going to the old location.
I have bought Tabitha a Alvin and the Chipmunks karaoke machine, and other than the stocking that is what she is getting from 'Santa'. She has been improving in her attitude and behavior, although since my kids are like certain laws of motion, with every improvement with one, the other has an 'equal but opposite' reaction.
So, Jacob has been moody, seeing us praising Tabitha and her eagerness to help out and be in good spirits and he has declined in his efforts. Literally just tonight I am rewashing clothes and clorox wiping out the clothes dryer because his heavily soiled underwear were added to the laundry.. creating a mess and emptying out my only tide pen. Alas, they have perfected this cycle of good vs. bad kid and even the therapist is trying hard to thump it into their minds that they can BOTH be good at the SAME time.
