Just checked out BM's Facebook to see if she has anything up about the holidays. To recap, she VOLUNTARILY gave up both of her kids to the dads (my DF and her daughter's bio dad). She is supposed to have them Christmas Eve according to stipulation and certainly could have, but she told us to take SS3 the whole weekend, from tonight through Sunday. Same is happening with SS3's older sister, SD5.

SD5 is going to her bio dad's for Christmas. This is her first time going with him for the holiday, and will be the first time she hasn't spent Christmas (which is a huge celebration) with my fiance's family about 3 hours away.

SD is really sad that she won't be spending Christmas with us and with her brother. But...this was sort of expected as her bio dad has become more involved in her life and it is truly how things should have always been.

My SS3 is the definition of "DAWDLER". (Before I go on, YES, I do understand he's only 3.5 and that I shouldn't expect him to be quick, or have that sense of urgency or to be able to stay on task all the time...I just want some opinions/advice.)

Hilarious conversation with SS3 this weekend --

We both had to use the restroom while at a store. I took SS3 in the stall and helped him with his coat zipper and gloves and button, then he went potty. I would normally just go in another stall but it was easier for me to just go to the bathroom real fast while SS was pulling his undies and pants back up. I have a big long puffy maternity coat so he really saw absolutely nothing, with the exception of maybe a little thigh skin.
