My letter to the new foster family

About Kylie and Brie:


Kylie’s favorite colors are pink and white. Brie’s are purple and white. They don’t like brown, they think it’s ugly.

They aren’t allergic to anything. (no foods or medicines) They like fruits and vegetables. They will eat chocolate to the point of nausea if allowed. Their favorite “treat” is ice cream sandwiches. They only eat half a banana at a time. They like scrambled eggs. They also like cold cereal. There really isn’t too much they won’t eat.

They are girlie girls. Kylie is very picky about how her hair is done. She will tell you how many pony tails she wants and if she wants it up or down. Brie usually keeps a beret in the front of her hair. She takes it in and out. They can totally dress and undress themselves and they don’t have potty accidents.

I put them to bed between 8 and 8:30. They have always slept in the same room. They like the door open. They are pretty silly at bedtime; they giggle a lot and go “pee” a lot. Usually within 20 minutes and 10 “get back in beds” they go to sleep. I try to get them to take a nap at 2. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t.
At their parent’s house they have a yellow kitty named Pumpkin. You may hear about their cousin Akayla. She is the same age as Kylie. They are close to their Aunt Sabrina and Uncle Jeff and their little girl Empress who is two. They talk a lot about Empress. They have Uncle Tony and Uncle Steven that they may talk about. Uncle Tony has lots of pets at his house. Uncle Steven has baby twin girls. They have a brother Sean who is 2. Sean lives with me “Grandma.” At Grandma’s house they like to play with Sean and in the backyard. Grandma has a fish tank with lots of fish and they like to help feed the fish.

What they do that is naughty! They get into make up, finger nail polish, hair spray. If they think it’s going to make them pretty they want it! They have been known to write on walls but not recently. They have to be watched with crayons because they can’t seem to differentiate between coloring books and books. When they don’t get their way they both pout. I usually totally ignore the pouting and within a few minutes they get over it and return to playing. Kylie will storm up the stairs and say “I need alone time.” (Cracks me up, don’t we all!) Then she will come back down like nothing happened. They also like to throw out the ultimate insult: “You’re not my friend.” When Brie gets stressed her stomach hurts. Brie can talk but if she is feeling stressed she talks in a little munchkin voice and is hard to understand. When she’s really stressed she keeps her fingers in her mouth hangs her head and won’t make eye contact. Brie has also been known to bite when provoked. Usually whoever she bites had it coming! Kylie has no fear of animals and will walk up to strangers dogs!

What they like to do: ride bikes and scooters, jump on the trampoline, swim, play in the bathtub, and change their clothes, read books and color. Of course they like anything princess. They like to listen to kid’s music. Kylie’s favorite song is twinkle twinkle little star. When they are in the car it’s always a contest to see who can spot the most cows and horses on their side of the road. Brie is very good at putting together puzzles.

Hope this helps you get to know the girls. They are terrific little girls. I hope you grow to love them as much as we do!
