Tonight I helped to coordinate child care during foster parent training at my agency.
I'll be honest. I don't love doing this. I don't remember how the whole thing started and honestly every time it feels like a failure.
This month I had an AWESOME team of helpers. AWESOME.
We were able to split the kiddos up into two groups....bigs and littles. The cutoff was six years old. We had WELL OVER 30 kids total. We feed them dinner. It is chaotic.
J (such a blessing to me in so many areas of my life) planned two crafts. One for littles and one for bigs. She stayed upstairs and managed the bigs and her daughter, M, came downstairs and managed the crafts for the littles. I had all high schoolers helping me with the littles and it was SO COOL to see them with these kiddos. I also had two girls who by society standards are delayed helping me. Those girls are not delayed. They are beautiful and loving and just AMAZING girls.
Fun to spend time with the littles. The bigs had a good time, too...from what I hear!
So blessed to have people who help out and love these kiddos!!
