Great News!

Hello Everyone,
I have some Great news!
My son was in court for the final hearing in care proceedings on Monday. As you know CS had put forwards for adoption having turned myself and my partner down as possible carers (which i was, and still am disputing).
On Thursday of last week i had a call from the Guardian saying she felt my son had come on so well in his contact in the last few weeks that she was now looking towards him as possible full time carer for his daughter and before she put this forwards she wanted to check i would be on board to help out while he was at work..!
So on Monday she told the LA her plans, who climbed on board with her and and put to the Judge they were now re considering Father and wanted an adjournment to allow further assessments to be carried out on him and his ability to care for his daughter.
This was obviously granted and they go back for an IRH on 29th April, and in that time my sons contact will be increased to enable him to take his daughter out and about and see how he manages her in the community, playing at the park, Asda for food for her lunch, the opticians for an eye test, Halfords to get a car seat and so on.
I will also now get contact at the centre to asses my ability to 'meet her needs' alongside my Son for an hour and a half a week.
I am so excited to be seeing her again, its been over 18 months! I dont know whether to take something in for her to do or see whats there to play with? What do you suggest? I am wondering as my son was told it was better for him to take something in, and plan and lead the play, than to just go along and be a passenger. Any advice always welcomed
Thanks for all your help and support here,
