Dear Dominic,
Imma be real with you, Chief*:
I’ve had a great time with you this week, even though it wasn’t supposed to be just us hanging out together.
You were supposed to get off work so we could all go out of town.
But despite the fact that I told you the dates four times (🙄), you didn’t ask for time off.
So your brother and father went to Savannah without us.
That’s ok. We made the best of it.
We watched all of “Sexy Beasts” together, and were both very amused.
We went kayaking on the Chattahoochee.
We teased each other mercilessly.
Me to you after you made me wait an hour to start “Forged in Fire” with you: Let it be known that you’re the worst.
You: Oh, I know.
You even learned to ride Marta to football practice as I was working and couldn’t take you.
You even cleaned up after yourself in the kitchen and cleaned your room.
Maybe your prefrontal cortex took a developmental leap this week.
The reason doesn’t matter. The outcome does.
It’s been great. And I’m glad you sometimes enjoy spending time with your mom.
I hope to do it again soon. Maybe more “Forged in Fire” tonight?
Let me know via text (that’s your way, even when you are just in the other room).
Love,
Mama

It’s always nice to see good moments between parents and their children. It’ll never get old.
