So it seems that for now I am happy that I get small wins My SO informs me that there is now a "picture" of me, him, my dog, and my cat on BM's wall. Turns out when he went to see the kids they said, "Daddy, I want to draw "D" (what I will call my dog for now ) and I want to draw "Rebel"..."

So they did (as good as an almost 3 and 4 yr old can) and then proceed to give it to BM and she hangs it on the fridge...;)

She doesn't really know it, but for today, that is OK with me
