I met the family in front of Project Home at 6pm and then we walked to Lincoln Park. When we got to the park Mr. Perez left to go to the store to get snacks and water and took Jordan with him. He did not came back until 8:15pm. This left Ms. Cortes to deal with Nicolas and Messiah on her own. Before entering the playground area, Ms. Cortes told the boys they were not allowed to get wet and do not leave the play area. They children all wanted to play on different things at first .

Celeste mentions how she is learning to function on less sleep and is getting used to having no free time. I think their hearts are in the right place, and there is no doubt in my mind that they will be good parents, but like a lot of new parents in today’s society, they are stuck finding time to raise a kid while also working full time jobs. I think the next few years will be difficult but crucial for them as parents. Some things will get easier for them, while others will get more difficult. For example, for Celeste it is easier to figure out what’s wrong with AJ. She said a year ago if he was crying I would worry and have to guess why he’s crying. Now I know usually what’s making him cry and if I don’t he can usually at least tell

Becky is doing her dressing changes but stated it is hard to get the supplies since she was discharged from home health. Jason also came to live with her after his mother’s death. They now have four adults in a two-bedroom house and this has led to decreased intimacy between Becky and her husband. I believe they are a loving family and that is their strength. Becky tries to do everything on her own and does not ask for help. That is their weakness. I feel they could decrease caregiver role strain by delegating some of the responsibility to other family members.

I showed her the Jigsaw puzzle. I printed for the children and some of the ideas I had for using house hold items for activities.

After Fraser III and Marian Shields got married, they had two children, Craig and Michelle. Craig, who was 21 months older than Michelle, helped shed some light on the person Michelle was. He described her as a strong-willed individual, who was always working and working on her study. Her mother mentioned how Michelle would view her brother as a competition because he never had to study as hard and intense as she had to do well in school.

Her parents’ involvement in their activities and parenting style was to keep them honest, hard-working and self-disciplined. Everything they did demonstrated the characteristics they wanted their children to have.
