Things to Remember....Not to Forget

A couple of thoughts on visits.....


1. Always bring food to a meeting with your child's' birthfamily.


2. Bring toys (crayons, puzzles, blocks) to help normalize things.


3. About 1-2 hours really is enough time.


4. Write down anything that might seem important to remember later to share with your child.


A couple of thoughts to remember for Gabi......


1. Cole loved to eat Lucky Charms (only the marshmallows, humm sounds like someone I know) when she was pregnant with Gabi.


2. Ashley is in 4th grade, Erica is in 2nd.


3. Cole's step mom died last week. Her father lives in Tennessee (about 200 miles from Grandma Kathy).


4. Her boyfriend (and father of the twins) is named Steve. He works for a moving company (delivering furniture for the BonTon and such). On Friday's he usually works in Rochester.


5. Steve has three children. They visit on the weekends- giving the house a total of 7 children on those days!


6. Tyler (who was 2 when Gabi was born, and the only child living with Cole at the time, now lives with his dad) used to have "Breath Holding Spells" like Gabi (where he passed out) and would have seizures after.


7. All of the children have asthma.


8. David and Emily share a room, with their own beds. David likes to get out of his bed at night and crawl into bed with Emily!
