I wish I had taken a picture of him playing in his own poop when he had that diaper blowout the other morning. I was too busy gagging and trying to get him cleaned up. He, on the other hand, was having a grand old time! Creative expression and all... :)
Yep! I think I might be onto something with this photo diary idea! I wonder how this would go over at the agency... Hmmm... :-)

lol, looks perfect to me
OMGosh, I would pay you a quarter to do that & 100.00 to watch the SW read it!!
I just pray that you and I aren't licensed through the same agency. I don't have the time for that level of creativity. With six kids their recreation is usually "driving Mamma crazy". Therapeutic value: Cause and effect (Push this far and Mamma will dance around the kitchen hollering at the top of her lungs. It's fun to watch the big people go nuts I guess.)
I love the pictures! Sometimes it's such a bummer that we can't show their faces. I'm sure Monkey is absolutely adorable all around!! (I am grateful that you didn't have a camera around for Creative Expression though. I get enough of that at my house.)
I've been gone house-hunting out-of-state and haven't read ANYTHING yet. But I'm so excited to go back and read all about your exciting time!
Okay, I'm an idiot.
I thought I'd clicked on my friend's blog. She's waiting for her first placement. I was floored to think she'd gotten it so soon. ;>
I like your photo log! I think another copy should be kept for each child to have when they leave.
ps Came back to warn you off your brilliant idea. I bet, if you did this, they'd take it seriously and REQUIRE it. And what fun would that be?
I know! Right, Kate?!? It's no fun being brilliant sometimes. ;P
