Gone

Oscar is gone.  After a much longer evening with him than we had anticipated, he took his things and left.  His grandparents were supposed to be here at 6pm to get him.  At 5:30pm, I got a text saying it was going to be 6:30pm before they got here because they were out buying things for Oscar.  At 6:30pm, I got a text saying that they'd be here at 7:30pm, because they lost track of time.  So... yeah... they somehow didn't notice that an entire hour went by when they were so excited to come get him.  But whatever... he's gone now and we have seen our first placement from beginning to end.

When I got the text pushing the time back to 7:30pm, I fed him and put him to bed.  We don't know what time they put the kids to bed at their house, but here it's 6:30pm or so.  We waited by the front door for a while with all of his things, as you can see in the picture.  He definitely looked super confused by his grandparents showing up at this house, but he gave them big smiles.  I helped carry his things out to the car, gave him a last hug and said goodbye.
