Training and Great Friends

3 days of Foster Parent training are in the books! 2 more to go!

Surprisingly, the classes are super boring. I was so excited to get started, learn some cool stuff, and get to know other foster parents.

Instead, training is a young woman reading us power point slides. YAWN! This is only made worse by the terrible grammar, many misspellings and typos, and that the trainer actually reads the typos.

Example: "The boy was raised experiencing daily bear." (It's probably supposed to say Fear.) She actually said bear and continued reading. Like it wasn't a thing.

There is little to no interaction with the other parents. Luckily two couples who have been foster parents before sat next to us. I have been chatting with the women to get some good tips and real world knowledge.

Saturday after training we went to S' besties house. Our friends are just the greatest. They asked wonderful sweet questions about training, our future kiddos, etc.  They asked to see the bedding I picked out, loved it, and helped me with some other things I need to get and where to get it.

So sweet! :)

We have SO MUCH TO DO! There are a ton of little things that have to be done to baby proof the house; paint, set up the room, online training, dog shots, etc.! We are going to be busy the next month or so!
