"Just once," Brian tells Aidan as they stand on the steps of the Eames-Dresden household. Aidan of course takes "once" to mean many and rings the doorbell again and again.
Wisconsin wasn't as horrible as I thought it was going to be. Meeting her parents was kinda like going in for a job interview where the person has already decided they want to hire you. I just couldn't believe how dark and quiet it got.
Got back to find that Tess got in an argument with Aidan's day care director and pulled him out. So now I have until Monday to figure out a place for him to go.
And Rossi decided to ignore my instructions to plead out a case and trial started yesterday. I should have known that she would be unwilling to make a deal with a rapist, but it still sucks.
Things seem to be racing ahead way too fast lately. I'm meeting Chris's parents in two weeks (some sort of family reunion that her parents practically demanded I attend). Aidan's staying with his mom and we'll see how that goes. And he's also decided that he wants a little brother.
When did I become Aidan's dad? I know the technical answer to that question, but lately it seems that it's become my actual name. Whenever I pick him up or drop him off at daycare that's all I am. I can understand that to a point it's his place. It's just that today a women approached me at THE OFFICE and said, "Aren't you Aidan's dad?"
I kept Aidan at home and his mom wasn't very happy about it, but I have custody.
Aidan's bear was my office was in my office because he tried to take it with him to daycare. Last night was rough and every night until I get that bear back probably will be too.
I still don't what to think about what happened yesterday. I guess I should feel lucky, but I just don't know.
For the past few weeks Sloopy has been even more tired than usual and yesterday I noticed he wasn't eating and I couldn't get him to go outside either. Took him to the vet and made the decision to let him go. It was time. He was almost fourteen. And I'll miss.
Luckily Aidan is at his mom's until tomorrow. He's young that'll probably just tell that Sloopy isn't coming back. Only thing I can really think of.
