That's good that he's making an effort with your kids but I think you have to employ some extra degree of patience as the newness of the baby starts to wear off.
You know Confluences, for not having kids you certainly nailed this right on the head. The newness has indeed worn off (for him anyways) and I can already see it becoming a chore for him to help with things that he seemed eager to do in the first few days/weeks. Patience, patience, patience...
How did you end up handling your W's birthday? There's never a 'right or wrong' for holidays so I'm sure a card or no card would be fine and not make a significant change good or bad to your sitch. Also, any progress on your deals going through?
