A Little Victory, and well-deserved!

Hah! I've finally got a bit of good news! (Yeah, it's not much, but we'll take what we can get!)

So Mic finally got a hold of ss on the phone after multiple attempts since Monday. I was vacuuming when he went into the office to call. When I finished, I overheard them talking (it's so cute- the tone of his voice totally changes). So I finished up the cleaning, figuring Mic would come back in soon. Meanwhile, I hear Mic say that line that always comes up when ss is actually allowed to answer the phone: "No, kiddo, I don't want to talk to your mom. This is our time. I want to talk to you." I thought, Good job, Mic. Way to stand up for yourself. But the victory didn't end there. They actually talked for like 20 plus minutes! This is easily the longest conversation they have had on the phone since we've been together (almost two years!). I guess she figured that if she let them talk uninterrupted she would be able to talk to Mic at the end or something, but no such luck! They talked about everything...wrestling (ss's favorite), the upcoming birthday party, school, all sorts of stuff. For once, the conversation was able to just run it's course, uninterrupted. Quality father/son time. I'm so glad...they really needed this.

I know how you feel. On those rare occasions that my fiance and SD get to have a nice uninterrupted phone call, we are just on cloud 9. It only happens when BM is taking a nap! If she's unconscious, she's not hounding SD to come to dinner/do her homework/take a shower/feed the cat/fill in the blank activity that could wait 5 more minutes! It really is miraculous that SD is ALWAYS sitting down to a meal when Daddy calls. It doesn't matter if it's 3pm or 8pm, it's always dinner time within 30 seconds of when Daddy calls.

I'm very happy to hear that Mic and SS had some good father/son bonding time. Especially knowing that it's a first! Congrats!

Only this crowd would understand and appreciate the importance and excitement of a twenty-minute phone call! It's great news and I'm really happy for you all!
