Day 19

Well today was a good day. We went in to town early this morning to meet with the lawyer to sign papers so he can file for a court date. First off we got in to tow to be dropped off in the middle of the city..with the crazy traffic. When then waked to a shopping center to find our it was not open yet. So we walked to a coffee shop about 2 miles away. We were not meeting the lawyer till 11 or 12 so we had time to kill. We walked back to the shopping center and walked around for awhile. We bought one whole season of CSI on one disc to help me buy timeat nap time . we then took a boda boda for the first ime to see the lawyer (a motorcycle taxi) Aaron seen one carrying a casket on one to day they use them to transport all sorts of thing it is crazy seeing them move through traffic. We got to the lawyers office has we sat there he was talking about us supporting Elliott for three months then coming for a court date. I said no way and that we did not do that with Ethan and that the judge already knows about our other case and that we were told we would be fine seeking guardianship for another child. I have no clue were I got the guts to tell him that.but Aaron just sat there like that was an option..I know that is the norm process but I know it also can be done without the whole three months thing. Yes the judges like it but they also are not going to say no for a child to be put in a loving home. No matter how grouchy they are. Bottom line is it for the benefit of the child!!! To say the least the lawyer is going to file for our court date asap : ) so he asked us to leave and come back so he could write up the papers. So back on the boda bodas we went ..We went for some lunch which we had an awkward time in the food court at the shopping center. We sat down and we had a vender from every food place bring us a menu and hover around us until we decided what we wanted. Talk about pressure. We finally decide what to eat then the rest all took their menus and left. It was crazy…. Well after lunch we then went back to the lawyers office where he had the papers done but the electricity went out so he could not print them …so we waited for it to come back on ….after waiting for a while and my ride back to the baby home was waiting and Aarons ride to airport was also waiting we decide to go to internet café to print it off so Aaron could sign before he left..so we this time called a taxi to take us ..we quickly got to the internet café printed them off them we met up with Aarons ride to take me to my ride .our lawyer came along as well since he was ging the same direction..the lawyer is a really sweat man but has not been a lawyer long so he wants to have all his ducks in a row. So I just tell him what the other lawyers told us and they are members of parliament then he seem to go with it.. well I got back to the baby home and could not wait to hug Elliott..he was just as exited..they ladies said he threw a fit this morning when we were not at his bed side when he woke…I then played with him till dinner ..I have taken over the diaper changing and pj time for his whole class..I love it.. we then put them to bed..well since Aaron left me shorthanded I was not able to hold Elliot as the previous nights before bed..Making he was the last one to go down..he threw another fit ..till I picked him up..oops Iam getting the boy in trouble..so I had to leave him crying …well Iam exited for another day with the Elliott!!! God has giving me the grace to enjoy this season…I still cant believe all that has happened and they journey is still in process..Love you all…
