So I had given up hope from hearing from this family. I had sent them an email saying we could do a one month trial period but heard nothing back. Well today after work I was out running errands and saw they had emailed. I came home and forgot about it and started to cook supper. The doorbell rings and I consider not answering it (for those who know me, I don't answer my door unless I know your coming. I'm kinda antisocial that way lol) but I was in the kitchen and I knew whoever it was would be able to hear me. Anyways, it was the dad and their older son.

Dad asked if we could do a two week trial period as they are really worried about him being in care of someone who is not family and of course add on the language barrier. I agree to this, I have no other families interested in the spot right now (other than a huge list for January but I really don't want to fill it with a 12 month old if I can help it) so it's basically extra money right now. I asked if they wanted to start the week of the 15th as that is what they told me in the initial interview. Dad asks if they can start tomorrow. So I guess we are doing this week and next week as a trial period LOL. The older son goes to an elementary near us (the one my husband works at actually!) so he will be dropping off and picking up. His English is fantastic!! Very nice boy, great manners and communicated well with me so I'm hoping that's a good sign

I was busy cooking supper so I said let me turn all of this off and get the papers that I need filled out etc but dad says it's okay they can come back later around 8. He asked how much they would owe and away they went! It was so weird, I've never filled a spot like this and feel kinda disorganized! haha. Hopefully it all goes well....cross your fingers for me please!! I guess I'll be busy tonight finding pictures to make a picture book to start our communication!! Oh boy....what have I got myself into!?!? lol
