Wow, Jo!!!

Thank you for that outlining of positives. What a PMA booster!
I greatly appreciate that - thanks! Looking at things more closely, there are indeed some grounds to be optimistic.

I get the caution about jumping back into things too soon. Time and patience are needed on both sides. W needs to grow and my changes need to stick. Very true.

Steve, you are right about good coming out of all of this. Most of us probably wish for an easier way to grow...
S5 is still involved in TBall. W has been avoiding taking him due to her neg reactions to competition, so he's missed 2 games recently. I'll be practicing with him in a few minutes. W called to tell me what she bought him for summer clothes (he's growing like a weed!), so I had a chance to validate her efforts. She's being a nicely responsible mother, and I need to keep complimenting her there. Can't wait to see both of them! (haven't since Fri morning).
