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?

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!

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.

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!

You’re quite welcome! I’m glad to hear that he’s remarried already. It looks like the winds are in your favour.
I await pictures.

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. 
So, tdn, you are, as my husband said after meeting me, cautiously optimistic? 
(Good for you! Best wishes to all of youse.)

I will not be used as a tool of manipulation.

Same goes for the daughter.

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.

Careening towards full on.
Is it foolish to use the L-word on the fourth date? Too soon?

Unless it starts the word “lust,” my money is on yes, too soon. But who am I to say? Whatever it is, enjoy the hell out of it!
