Jonathan Day 199

We had our one and only home study today!  It seemed to go very well and the person that came out said "you have nothing to worry about" and now all we need to do is wait for 5/17.  On May 17th it will be 6 months and that's the minimum time allowed to finalize an adoption in Cook County.

Jonathan was very good today and impressed Michele the social worker.  He was interactive with us and also played by himself while she interviewed us.  As soon as it was over we loaded the car and headed "home" to MI.  It's snowing like crazy but it's good to be home.

Great Gramma is still hanging on but not doing very well.  We're all on pins and needles hoping for good news.  This is a difficult time for all of us.

On a lighter note, JH just had dinner and is running around like a bunny.  He ran to the bathroom and while jumping on the potty, he hurt his leg/butt and ran out here crying "my butt, my butt".  I refused to kiss his butt, but gave him a hug to make him feel better.  

Our latest weapon with JH is to say "don't you ........." like "don't you go poop" and boom ding, he poops!!  When we tell him not to count he counts from 1 - 12 immediately.  I think next we'll tell him to NOT pick the winning lottery numbers :-)
