Hey, Bodhi! Sorry for the delayed response... hugely busy on both the work and the home fronts this week *sigh*. Five things going on for Kidlet just today!

Thanks for your supportive and understanding words. I'm sorry to hear that's how it is with Eldest -- I suspect he will come around in time. Not from experience, of course, but that is what I hear from other parents. Yep, we have to sort of abide through all of this, and keep the door open, and especially keep the lines of communication open. It's a bit of a hard abiding, though, isn't it?

*Hugs* back -- you hang in there, and I will too.
