Saturday was the first visit without mandatory professional supervision. I don't have my official paperwork yet as it takes a few weeks to get it from the court, but I wrote down the basics as the judge rattled them off. He doesn't have to have a professional supervisor, but he is required to have an adult with him. This can, of course, be any adult of his choosing, including Big Sis, even though she would never stand up to him for her sisters. Oh well.
It was Sis's birthday and was a beach party. I guess things went okay. A&J were definitely ready for me to pick them up when I got there, but they didn't have anything negative to say. Lots of family around and not too much contact with him, I'm sure. Their only comment was that he didn't get them a good gift for sis, and instead gave her a $20 bill from him and them. Almost like, "Oh! Its your birthday??? Well, what do I have in my wallet... A twenty... hmmm, that will work." Lame. Good thing we mailed her a gift.
A few behavior issues at school and home the Thursday and Friday before the visit. But that's not unusual for right before visitation. I think the therapy with Dr. C will make things easier for the girls. At least they get to see him every week.
We also have required once a week phone calls. No required length of time. I was sitting in the living room when the call came in last night. A&J took the phone back to their bedroom and reappeared literally 2 minutes later. I guess they asked about their new phones he is buying them - Galaxy SIII - and when they are supposed to arrive at our house via mail. Then when he tried to start talking to them, they said "We don't want to talk anymore" and hung up. Nice.
