Had a little spark last night. We took the kids to the circus which they enjoyed (although the younger of the twins kept getting nervous when the acrobats would go high and was saying "fall down?" "fall down?" ... it was really cute). I didn't get home until late, and the wife was nursing the newborn. She finished shortly thereafter and tuned on the TV to watch SVU (a good episode last night). Well, she leaned over and snuggled up against me resting her head against my shoulder. I made some off-hand comment about my shoulder being too bony for that since I had lost so much weight. She just smiled and didn't say anything.

Still got a LONG way to go to hot sex (or sex at all for that matter), but it felt good. Let's hope it continues to progress. I see the self-esteem counselor on Monday, and our next MC session should be coming up soon. One of my worries now is that if things are progressing, I'll be tempted to just let things slide in the MC session. Is that a bad idea?

The SVU show was good last night. It really pulled at my heart-strings, especially the scene where the main guy is talking to the psychologist about him and his dad. Brought back so many memories of my childhood. Virtually every day of my life that my dad was home was like that. Always critical, lots of beatings (until we cried and then beating us harder saying "I'll give you something to cry about"). I had to go to the other room and just cry my eyes out (sorry ladies, I know that is very unattractive) when the dad and son in the show reconciled in the end. I know that will never happen with my father, too many bad memories. Don't worry, the wife didn't see me so it didn't ruin my image. Anyway, good show.
