The last few days I have refrained completely from contacting W. She had D phone me yesterday and I let it go to voicemail. She lost another tooth. I phoned D later that evening to talk with her, but W answered the phone. She was very upbeat and almost talkative. However, I phoned to speak with D and asked if I could. I was only able to speak with her a short time because she was busy playing with her freinds. W got back on the phone and shared a little of her day with me before I cut the conversation short and said my goodbye.
Today, W phoned to talk to me about our parenting swap tomorrow. Again, a little upbeat and sharing some of her day with me. I guess she is looking at us more so as very casual friends, more so than she did a week ago. The reason I say this is because of her tone and willingness to just offer information about what she has been up to......so far so good, I guess.
This week is W's birthday, the big 35. Typically, we usually go all in for each other. Last year I rented a limo and took all of our friends out for dinner, a comedy improv show and drinks and dancing afterwards. This year, I am thinking, what, maybe a card or a "happy birthday" text? I am not sure if a present would be appropriate or come off as pursuing. I am keeping in mind that she didn't really gift me for Christmas, so I am assuming that is how she thinks it should be. I Would like some input on that.
