sigh of relief

While things aren't over in court (we go back in January), there was definitely a step in the right direction last week. S is again primary caregiver and that supervised visit craziness is a thing of the past. S has some classes to take and "services" to complete that CPS will assign, but the judge recognized that S hadn't done anything to warrant having custody taken from him. HURRAY! Drake is here more, but he still spends time at A's Mom's (Nana) house several nights a week. It's a little crazy for a kid who isn't even 2, but he's happy and healthy and I think it will continue to get better. A has some things to complete, too, and some of it is pretty heavy duty. I hope she is ready for the hard work it will take, but I didn't get that feeling. When she's in the frame of mind to be Drake's mom, she's great at it. She just can't seem to stay there very long.
