OK, I know it is mid week, but I was hoping his behavior would get better. And it did!

Last week he forgot my daughter at school. He "lost track of time" and I got bent out of shape about it. OK, she was fine and not even freaked out. I was very hesitant about my decision to stay after that, but he has picked himself back up, dusted himself off and kept going on his great path!

He has been working hard on getting our house remodeled. I will so have a door to my bedroom!!

We have been decking out our room for US! New TV, gaming console, moving our computers in with us. We will have our own oasis! I can honestly say I have my boyfriend back.

Now here is the even better part. Now that I have stopped telling him about the things that his kids do, he is disciplining them! :jawdrop:

I also think him having them for a week alone, with out me, set this in motion as well. He told me when he was on vacation that his kids were not understanding of why they were visiting Grandma because she was sick. All they wanted to do was play. Several times he told me about them getting upset because they were not going to have Daddy to play with because he was spending time with his Grandmother! He told them flat out, "We are here to visit family, we will do some fun things too, but the REST of the family comes first."

Now this has transferred to our home. He is no longer letting SD11 run the house! He got on her for getting up out of bed a bunch of times after bed time. (I have told him about this many times that she did this) He got on her about answering his cell phone with out him asking her to. (Another, I told him) He got on her about pouting when we told her to do a chore. (Never did before)

Is it me or is this every SM's dream??!

I am still leery that he will go back to his previous behavior. But how he is with ME is ever better.

More updates to come!!!
