Bud, hopefully I won't have to move on to steps two and three. Time will tell.
Indeed. It sounds like he's made more progress than I'd have expected; congratulations! Maybe you're really starting to establish a new view of you in his mind. You've certainly done the right things. Your interactions were firm without being mean and you didn't let him off the hook when he tried to squirm. Nice.
When is he coming home?
