E.'s Big Move

This afternoon, two year old E. moved to the boys' house! I have to be honest… We were begging the office for this move. While E. was still living with the Boohers, they asked if he could go to the boys' house instead of back to the baby home when he left their house. The office didn't want that as he still was not potty-trained. He came back to the baby home, and we've been pushing this move ever since. He's a big kid and doesn't realize his strength with the babies. What he considers play often hurts the other kids. He's more agressive than most of our kids, and they just don't have the strength or size to defend themselves either. 

We were so happy to learn that E. would move to the boys' house this afternoon! He's visited there a lot and does great with the boys. He has a bit of a wild personality and that doesn't change at the boys' house, but he isn't as agressive and he knows how to appropriately play with them. We know it'll be an amazing move for him!

Love that little guy! I promise we did not teach him all those bad manners either...at least not on purpose!! You need to post a picture of him with his new haircut. The "post-jungle"look!!

I'm not sure you can blame this one on the office. We're in communication with the tias, and knew that they didn't want the challenge of two little guys being dragged around to school meetings and events. But in the end, due to the pressure of the BH, that's what they get whether they want it or not!! I agree it will be good for Edson himself, and for the babies of course, just pointing out the other side of this equation that a volunteer might not realize....
