Separated, new baby, but still hopeful

So tonight I had the music playing when WH came home-actually it is nice to be able to listen to music again. I mean songs that we used to listen to together. I realize that I didn't play my ipod due to triggering so it makes me feel strong to be able to hear the songs again! (I was listening to the radio but you can always change the station)

He commented on the picture frame I put up by the front door and said it looked good. He didn't say anything about the digital frame though!

So, I worked out and then started the grill and proceeded to make dinner. I did bring up topics of conversation and he responded, but WH is just not a big talker! Still, we watched TV and commented back and forth. I didn't get a chance to bring up the toybox project but he will be here all day tomorrow so I can work it in then.

WH liked the dinner (I did ask his advice about how long to grill the steaks and he was right)and then he cleaned up the kitchen after he put S to sleep.

He also "shared" duties for S with me. He handed him to me to hold while he did stuff, he asked if I could feed him while he ate dinner. It was just kind of a first. I wondered if this is what parents who are married and have a baby do. Don't worry, I did not read into it. I just "enjoyed" the teamwork!

He did leave right at 8, just like last night.
Oh yeah- I discovered that he put the glasses that came with the gift set in the dishwasher, so I put them in the cupboard.
