Ms. Cortes
Ms. Cortes made the children peanut butter, strawberry jam and bananas sandwiches for dinner and gave them each a cup of milk. The children were immediately giving a bath when they returned home from the park. Ms. Cortes took the children to the park for the second day in a row. Mr. Perez joined her and the children. She and Mr. Perez took turns playing with the children. This gave each of them a chance to take a smoke break. The children were happy and kept telling their parents to look at them and see what they could do. Mr. Perez and Ms. Cortes cheered them on when they were not talking to me. While we were at the park, I looked to see if Ms. Cortes would set rules, enforces them when needed and play with the children. I also watched to see how Mr. Perez interacted with the children.

before entering the playground. The children understood and went to play. Ms. Cortes take the children into the smaller play area today, so she can keep a close eye on them. While the children were playing, I asked Ms. Cortes when will she start moving her things out of Project Home. She told me she cannot do to the YMCA in Newark. St Joseph Home claimed, she caused her own homelessness. She and Mr. Perez have agreed to move to New York. She is looking to move on the 1st of June. They have family that might allow Ms. Cortes to stay with them. I ended the conversation and let her play with the boys.

She did not have to take all the boys to the bathroom at once and his presence helped, when Nicholas and Messiah stopping letting the other children go down the slide. When he asked them move, they did not. So he took them off the slide. When the boys were trying to run out of the play area, he chased them back. These are things that I have noticed Ms. Cortes will not do. There is a balance with Ms. Cortes and Mr. Perez’ parenting skills. She does not want to discipline children. Mr. Perez on the other hand does not mind. They left the park 7:45pm, so Ms. Cortes could feed the children and get them in bed. On the way back to the apartment Ms. Perez bought the children ice cream cakes of the store. When we got to Ms. Cortes apartment, she told the children that they had to take a bath. They wanted to watch T.V. and eat their ice cream cakes. Ms. Cortes told, when they take their baths and if there is still time they could eat and watch T.V. They boys did as they were told. When I left the children were on the couch eating and Ms. Cortes was making herself a
sandwich.
