Make up your mind buddy

So, yesterday, his highness decides that he is not picking Christopher up on Saturday because he wants to spend the day with just Nicholas. As if I am stupid enough to believe that Jessica, Michael, and Isabella won't be there. He feels that having Christopher on Sunday, overnight Sunday for the first time and then part of Monday, is sufficient. Such a great dad, the same great dad who tried to get out of taking him when he was sick. I keep my mouth shut, say OK, and go on my merry way. Then today he announces that, yes, he is going to pick up Christopher tomorrow. Silly me, I ask why. He is planning to take Christopher to get his picture taken tomorrow. What I want to say is, really, so you think having a first birthday party and getting his picture taken means being a real dad? Instead I say, OK, see you tomorrow. The only satisfaction I feel is knowing that Christopher has a bump and bruise on his forehead and the pictures won't be any good. This makes me almost as good as when I did not sign up for retakes of Nicholas school picture. His school picture was terrible and Jason spent $50 on a package. That felt really good.
