Nightlights
Bath toys
0-2 onesies and pj's
2-3yr olds Sweats and PJ's in varying sizes (can be as simple as white tees and boxer shorts)
Books
Kiddie music and videos
Scrapbooks for life books (required here but nice anywhere)
Small blankets (nice cover for little ones and good "loveys" for the older ones)
Check with local WIC office to see which formula kiddos will be placed on (some areas do Similac and others Enfamil) so that you can get a can to have on hand before signing kids up for WIC
Kid friendly foods (many of these kids will not have eaten really healthy and may ONLY eat hotdogs, corndogs, chicken nuggets, etc. so we buy some of those kiddie frozen meals until we can figure out what else they like and will eat and they keep for a long time and are nice to have if you get placement late at night of a hungry toddler)

If you have a local Foster Parent Association, check with them to see if they have strollers, highchairs, etc. for you to use. Our local chapter gets new carseats donated from the local Children's Hospital and typically have one on hand. It could save you from using yours and you maybe could return yours and purchase a highchair or some other necessity.

If I think of more I will edit or post again.

None- my little one going through terrible twos is also about to have a tonsilectomy. Ugh. If you have stories of success please pass them to me. If you have a horror story, please, I don't think I could handle it right now. LOL

Former foster son came this past weekend for his birthday celebration and one last hoorah before school starts. I was happy to see him doing better.
