still building the missing half

[HalfMissing]

Oh, what a good daddy you are! My H is not capable of "smothering them with hugs and kisses". He expresses love by sending them email links to stories they would be interested in, but it is not enough. I make up for it as much as I can. I promised S7 he can sleep in the "big bed" tonight since his sister got to when she was sick. I am so glad the children take after me in this respect and are so affectionate.

Last night, S7 and I started to read Harry Potter 1 together. We are alternating pages. I had punished him from listening to his CD player, so this is one good thing that came from it. He reads well but doesn't have the zest for it that D10 has. Maybe this will help him learn to love it too.
