Family Update



I haven't updated on what is going on with our little family for awhile, so I thought I would bring everyone up to speed.

Tristan is now 5.5 months old! I can't even believe that much time has gone by since he was born. He loves to roll over, he can sit up on his own, and he tries to crawl, but hasn't quite figured out how yet. He just scoots on his tummy and kicks his legs out. Lol!

He loves to grab onto everything he can; including mommy and daddy's plates when we are trying to eat. He is a little chatter box. He loves to talk, talk, talk. He can say 'mama', but that is his only word so far. His favorite toys are his car and our chihuahua, Roadie. He thinks he is so funny! Every time he sees him he laughs. Lol!

Speaking of Roadie, he is doing great. He misses Chili though and I didn't think he would. Oh, I haven't told you yet... We found a family for Chili. It was really hard to let him go, but not as hard as I thought it would be. I think I would have had a much more difficult time if I had to take him to a shelter.

The family that has him is really great. They came over, met with us, played with Chili. Chili chose them more than they chose him. When it came time to leave, he left with that family and didn't even look back. I knew at that moment that's who he was supposed to be with. They will give him the love and attention he deserves. I will always miss him though.

Now that Chili has a home I can finally start my day care! I have everything done but my building inspection (to make sure our house is structurally sound and up to code) and my policies and procedures. I'm putting the final touches on those today and my building inspection is this week! Once those two things are done I can send everything into the bureau of child care licensing!

What is even better is I can watch four kids including Tristan while I am waiting for everything to process at the bureau. So I can start taking kids any day now! I'm so excited. I have worked so hard for this. I started this process in October and everything I have done is finally paying off. I am so happy.

That is my little update on what is going on in the Randall family's world. Talk to you soon!
