Buddha Baby's day out to the city

What a fun day!
Our first day out for lunch and shopping...I think babycakes eyes open and close depending on whether the wheels are turning on the pram...I walk, his eyes close, I stop walking his eyes open wide like plates so I find myself rocking and moving the pram whilst sitting. I found it fun holding a hot coffee and trying to rock the pram and it became a joke trying to eat a sandwich and rock, lettuce and carrot everywhere.
He loved the ferry, the drone and motion kept his eyes closed there and back.
His access visits are being organised for 2 hours 3 days a week, that will be interesting, Babies usually squeal until 10pm after a day out for access, birth mums like to play with baby, change their clothes, play pass the parcel and wear the poor little things out and by the time they arrive back home they are sooo overstimulated they can't settle so its usually a night of rocking and cuddling, so we will see.
I am told this baby could be with us for 18 months, I dread the thought, its so hard to hand over a baby of 5 months let along a toddler who is bonded to you and thinks you are his world.
I choose not to take on babies for that length of time soley because of that reason...I can cope but they look back at you and it breaks your heart to see as they don't understand. I could probably keep him until he is 18 but although I know he wouldn't care when he is at infants school that his Mum is old but I think its all a bit too much for him when his Mum arrives at secondary school on a zimmer frame...I couldn't do that to him so keeping him won't be an option.
I trust that DOC's will have a beautiful young family in mind for him in the near future.
