A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[Dia]

H was very sweet to me last night. I got a *long* hug when he got home, then he complimented and stroked my hair. Afterwards, he joked about it.

H (teasing): Um, my fingers were just wet and I wanted to dry them.

Dia: Oh? And if *my* fingers are wet, where do *I* get to dry them?

(H has a brush cut, so the only hair available isn't on his head.)

H: <blushes and stammers> (Ha! Got him!)

He was also very appreciative and complimentary of the brownies and the chicken stew, which I thought would last two nights, was gone in one. Kidlet tucked right in to it, eating three bowls worth.

I mentioned mucking out kidlet's room over the weekend, and H said he would help. Then kidlet chimed in to say that he'd decided he wanted to switch rooms after all, which makes for a much bigger task. Overall, this is a good thing. Kidlet will be much happier in the guest room/laundry room as the square shape is much more usable. IT also means he'll be able to have sleepovers in his own room as we'll be able to pull out his trundle bed now. His current room is too narrow for that.

One of H's work buddies is at loose ends for the next two nights as his wife and baby are away on a visit. So the guys from work are having two nights of male debauchery at the no-wife house.

Kidlet and I have planned some 'no Daddy' debauchery of our own, complete with pizza and movies.
