Hah! I've finally got a bit of good news! (Yeah, it's not much, but we'll take what we can get!)

So Mic finally got a hold of ss on the phone after multiple attempts since Monday. I was vacuuming when he went into the office to call. When I finished, I overheard them talking (it's so cute- the tone of his voice totally changes). So I finished up the cleaning, figuring Mic would come back in soon. Meanwhile, I hear Mic say that line that always comes up when ss is actually allowed to answer the phone: "No, kiddo, I don't want to talk to your mom. This is our time. I want to talk to you." I thought, Good job, Mic. Way to stand up for yourself. But the victory didn't end there. They actually talked for like 20 plus minutes! This is easily the longest conversation they have had on the phone since we've been together (almost two years!). I guess she figured that if she let them talk uninterrupted she would be able to talk to Mic at the end or something, but no such luck! They talked about everything...wrestling (ss's favorite), the upcoming birthday party, school, all sorts of stuff. For once, the conversation was able to just run it's course, uninterrupted. Quality father/son time. I'm so glad...they really needed this.
