Congratulations on three years with your little one! I can tell from your post that you're a loving and dedicated father.
I can imagine that being a single parent for a few weeks was stressful, but it sounds like you're doing a great job. It's also great that Ricky hasn't even noticed that his mom is gone. This is a good sign that he feels safe and loved.
Thanks, yes it was a difficult time but we had a lot of fun! I got his mom yesterday and now we are all home. She let me sleep in late today! I am a happy camper.
