Foster kid update

Here are some more stuff about our life.

On Friday, mom took Amanda and Coco to visitation. Guess who she saw?

Aaliyah and Angel! They were there to visit their Mom. (They live with their uncle and his girlfriend.) Aaliyah glared at my mom since she had not wanted to be moved to her uncle's home and she saw it as mom’s fault. And it didn’t help that Mom had two new foster kids that resembled her and Angel.

Mom dropped Amanda and Coco off at visitation and ran back home to pick up Ricky, Ellen, and I. When we got there, Aaliyah and Angel’s visit had just ended and they were playing in the waiting room while waiting to be picked up and taken home to their uncle's.

When I saw Aaliyah, I hardly recognized her. She had lost some weight and shot up an inch or two! (Before she was slightly over weight.) She acted sort of distant with us but didn’t glare and when we started playing she actually acted like herself for a few minutes.

Then Amanda and Coco’s visits ended and Aaliyah got kind of quiet before going home. It was good to see Angel and Aaliyah again and see how well they are doing in their new home.

Amanda and Coco have been doing well, though Amanda can be a funny at times. She doesn’t pay attention to what we say sometimes, but it is to be expected. Coco and Ricky play well together which is good. It’s kind of like having twins since their birthdays are only nine days apart. Mom and Dad say it’s like having the Bobbsey Twins and I say “yeah but with out the nanny.”

Despite the craziness things are going well.
