Our Consecutive Game Streak Is at an End

This morning when I dropped Colter off at pre-school, it marked the end of our longest consecutive-day-spent-together streak. He was with me for seven(!) consecutive days. Momma took a little vacation herself after I got back from Boston. We've never spent more then five days together in a row since the separation last year. I'm not complaining, mind you, we had a great time together. It's just that we have a very unique custody arrangement. Colter's mom actually lives in the same building as me. He's with one of us for two days, back to the other and back again for the weekend, and then it repeats. So while his days away from me are not very far, neither is he; he's literally sleeping two floors below me when he's not in his own bed here.

I have the utmost respect for you single moms and dads who must do this day in and day out, and many with more than one child. I couldn't imagine not having the help I do with C's mom here, and even my own mom when she's not playing snowbird and hiding from the snow and cold. Had I known he was going to be this much fun and this wonderful, maybe we could have brought him in the world when I was 25 instead of 35. Maybe I'd be able to keep up with him a little better!

I love you buddy. See you Wednesday night.
Love, Dad.
