BBQ at the Benecia Waterfront

Winner of a Bingo questionnaire.
As a Foster A Dream mentor I attended the BBQ tonight. I got to meet other mentors in the making, and others who were still waiting to be matched up. It was quite a nice surprise when a couple kids approached me to give me a hug. One particularly remembered me, as I taught him how to bowl and to successfully knock down some pins!


Other than eat a lot of food, we also did the water balloon toss. It was almost like a singles gathering- at events like this mentors try to match up with mentees and vice-versa.


I get home by 9pm and arrive to a crying Kai, who initially did well with daddy in my absence. However, after an hour or so Kai got the Mommy withdrawals and started to bawl. I spent the last 10 minutes of my drive home on the phone with Kai, trying to calm him down. We ate popsicles on the driveway, and I read him his favorite Thomas train book as the light disappeared and the mosquitos came out.

Kai refused to go to bed. So there is his picture of him wiped out on my massage chair in my den as I blog away to 1 am.
