I am so happy to hear your effort and what you said to her last nite that is adorable. \:\)
I for one like when my H teases me. And yes being nice to the kids is a turn on in my book too it just makes me feel good that he is happy.
When he goes with me to the grocery store ( something he rarely does ~)ooooooh now that even makes me melt. Just my 2 cents honey.

~BTW ~You sound like you are doing great.
I am so happy for the blessings you have .
Have a GREAT day.
God bless....
