Mia was sitting on my lap as I checked my email, and we were dancing to Windows Media Player on shuffle. This of course produced an ecletic mix of music- From Alanis Morrisette to Johnny Cash to Wu Tang Clan and even M.I.A. and The Clash (props).
The most adorable thing happened next. One second she's content, bopping along with the momma. The next she is totally slumped over, fast asleep. Sooo cute!!!
She's having a better day today. Woke up telling the momma Ah-goo again and again.
Ah-goo is the new big thing. I love Ah-goo.
I've convinced myself Ah-goo is her trying to say I love you. I'm right, right?
Right?!?
Mia ate her first cereal last night! Megan had mixed some up for Kaylee- who made some of the most hilarious YUCK faces I've ever seen. She was not a fan. Since there was so much left, Mia and I decided to give it a go. (We're a sharing family. : ) ) She was a little puzzled at the texture at first. She wrinkled her brow and wiggled her tongue around in her mouth trying to figure out what that stuff was. After the first bite, she decided she loved it! I only allowed her to have 3 or 4 spoonfuls but each one was swallowed with little to none dribbling out of the mouth! Much like her Mommy- she has a talent for eating!
So I did something I told myself I wouldn't do last night. After Mia ate her cereal, I texted Garry to tell him about it and tell him Happy Birthday.
At around 1 a.m. (probably the next available time he could text me back without her seeing) I heard back from him. He said he was excited for Mia and that he was going to Texas for a week and when he got back he'd like to see her.
It may sound catty- but I told him this morning that he knows where she lives and to let me know when he was driving down.
I don't feel like its my responsibility to drag Mia out on an hour and a half trip to come see him. Firstly, she doesn't like car rides. Secondly- there is NO way I'm coming to his work, which is where he has asked me to bring her in the past. It is in everyone's best interest that I am never in close proximity to that girl. I've been trying very hard to remain civil and calm for Mia's sake. I doubt I'll be able to if I have to see them together.
I'm going to go bike a few miles downstairs and get rid of some of this negative energy. BWAAAH!

Sound as catty as you want. You're entitled. And if he wants to see your child, he can come to you and see her. He hasn't earned any favors from you. My opinion is that he needs to show you and Mia that he wants to be involved. He needs to make an effort, not you. He isn't the one getting up for feedings in the middle of the night, experiencing her Ah-goos and cereal eating. He needs to earn the title of "father" now. Before he could have had it automatically, but he hasn't filled that role. At all. <3
