X is becoming more and more friendly. I first noticed this after I bought the house from her in the early spring. We now text back and forth a lot, often about the kids and exchange pics via our iphones.
I kept the kids for her this afternoon while she worked as I have been doing often lately. My work schedule allows for this as hers does not. I have questioned myself about it and have decided I will do so whenever the opportunity arises because I get to spend more time with my kids. They are growing up so fast. I have bailed her out several times and they occasionally spend the night with me on her time.
She asked if I would join her and the kids for dinner when she got off work. I almost declined but reluctantly agreed. I brought the kids and met her at a resturant and the 4 of us had dinner.
DS seemed particularly manic during dinner. He is now 9 and that may be normal but I couldn't help but think he was excited because the 4 of us were together. He's that age when it's important who sits beside whom and he wanted to sit beside me in the booth.
I mentioned to her I am taking the kids out of town next weekend to a hotel that is theme oriented for kids and families. X kinda went blank as I described our plans and stayed that way for several minutes. I felt badly for her for a moment but she got over it.
The kids enjoyed our dinner together. It's amazing how well they adjust to the non-traditional situations thrown their way.
