I forgot to add that in last nights convo, W asked for her scrapbooks back and noted that she had no intention of throwing them out. I looked them over last night, and again noted tons of pics, but also page after page of my early love letters to her, and emails. Noticed that I was quite the romantic at that time in our R. Also, with shame, I reflected how little of that effort I put forth since the birth of S5. I definitely was not filling her lovebank well.
Its so easy to let the day-to-day tasks and worries distract one from maintaining one's R well.
W asked me to help transport S5 to Zoo camp this week, and I agreed. I realized that more frequent contact seems to work better for both of us (most of the time), improving our friendliness.
W greeted me at the door with a plate of cinammon rolls for me and a great smile. Keeping my expectations low, but that was sweet.
Poor S5 was scared about attending Zoo camp. He brightened when they gave him his camp T-shirt.
