I'm gratified to know that it's not just my perception. He's such a strange bug that I am never sure if I'm expecting too much. What is entirely normal and acceptable for other kids isn't right for this particular child.
This has all been coming to a boil for weeks ... probably the heat has helped it along. It's funny how, after all my efforts, I miss the simple answers for far too long.
You should have seen my face when R-- suggested that I need to signal my intention to go inside myself by putting on a figurative "writer's hat" and Ch-- suggested we make it a real one. Priceless, I'm sure. In fact I'm fairly certain that I looked like I'd just swallowed a frog. Duh.
It all goes back to that thing I always think is true ... if I can explain it (whatever it is) well enough than it will happen/change/come to be. Turns out that both gentlemen support my right to not be on call. They just couldn't tell WHEN exactly I wanted that to be true.
Anyway. Did I say thank you? Good luck tomorrow! I've got all sorts of stuff to futz with today so I'm off.
