More crazy timing

This morning I saw the child in a whole new light! He came in smiling and with his shirt on backwards!!! He gave me a big smile! However, the smile was nothing unusual, so hopefully that means that his guardian hasn't said anything to him.

I also got to talk to his homeroom teacher. She also said that he is working well considering the situation. She feels he will do better with support and stability.

On my lunch break I was planning to call the guardian and talk with him. I decided to go get some lunch first. As I headed through the office of my school, there stood the guardian ad litem! I got to talk to her for about 30 minutes. Michael just happened to walk into my office during this time. He got to meet her also. She is going to schedule a time to come for a home visit soon. We wait on her to call now.

Michael and I went by one of his classes to see the child. When he saw me he gave me a big hug! Yeah, my heart is already his!

This afternoon, I was in the office again and ran into the child's guardian! He seemed very nice and truly seems to care about the child. He wants what's best and doesn't want him hurt again by another family deciding they don't want him. In our opinion, once he is in our home, that is not an option.

By the way, when the child saw me this afternoon, he walked up to me and asked why I had been talking to his teacher. I asked how he knew I was talking about him. He put his hands on his hips and said "I just know!" I told him I was hearing about all of his hard work this year and was that ok with him. "I guess!"

Now, we wait for the call about the home visit! And sorry about the lack of names. I will tell you his name as soon as I feel I can!
