[QUOTE=tdn] Yesterday she asked her son who he wants to show up at his birthday party. The first person he mentioned was me. How heart-melting is that? [/QUOTE] It’s all fun and games until he asks for your car keys… But you’ll cross that bridge when you get there. Great luck in the meantime! ---

[QUOTE=Sunspace] That’s good. I was a little worried about the small head leading the big, so to speak, and you getting in over your head in a he-versus-she situation. [/QUOTE] I don’t forsee that as being a problem. They seem to be very evolved people, and at least she doesn’t seem to have any real baggage over it. He’s remarried and already has a new baby. In fact, I overheard her part of a phone conversation with him, and they were very civil. My little head is doing a lot of thinking about her, but I am able to keep my wits about me. Thanks for your concern! ---

[QUOTE=tdn] …mini rock star! [/QUOTE] I am now reminded of my friends’ four-year-old, who was bouncing around the living room on Sunday with an old aluminum tennis racket, pretending to play it like a guitar. I have a picture of him at the age of two playing on a keyboard. I think he likes music. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=tdn] (snip) I will not be used as a tool of manipulation. (snip) Same goes for the daughter. [/QUOTE] heh. Heh heh. BWAH! AHAHAHAHA!! She’s a cute little girl. If she’s under 10, you stand NO chance at not being manipulated! Not even the Spanish Inquisition could employ a weapon as deadly as.. little girl puppy eyes. 😃🆒 ---

I think he’s full on optimistic. Way past caution, careening towards jumping into with both feet. Way to go, **tdn**. You rock. ---
