Tonight we helped with child care at my agency.
Middle Boy did an awesome job just entertaining a four-year old boy for the entire time. Honestly the boy was a complete handful and Middle Boy just played with him and kept him entertained. He seemed to have a really good time doing it as well. They played catch and built a fort. This four-year old didn't play well with the other kids so it was a blessing.
Younger Boy...a different story. He was annoyed with a six-year old girl who "wanted her chair too close to him". They were play fighting and then he got out of hand and slapped her in the face. He was SHOCKED that he got a timeout. Thought it was completely unfair. He then became part of the group receiving child care instead of helping.
The whole evening reminded me why I am NOT the foster parent of toddlers. There were 26 kids there. Almost all of them were under the age of 6. It was fun, but exhausting.
Prayers for all the kiddos and their foster families.
