Michael came to visit Levi this morning for a couple hours. He was calm, finally, so we could talk a little bit. He still didn't do great with Levi, he tried playing with him but wasn't as involved as he should be to keep Levi from crying. So of course he cried almost the whole time.
But we got to talk a little about what we want as far as Michael's visits with Levi. I told him that as Levi gets older he'll be able to spend more time and have him overnight. It was nice to finally agree on something. Michael said he could pick him up after work every other Saturday morning and spend a day with him, bring him home for the night, then take him Sunday afternoon. He's moving to first shift next week and we agreed he could have Levi for one evening a week, which sounds like it will be Thursday.
After that nice calm discussion he started talking about child support, which never goes well, and that he wants to claim Levi on his taxes as long as he's paying child support and give me a percentage of his tax return. I'm not sure how to feel about that, I always thought we would just go every other year. We didn't really reach a conclusion to that conversation. I'm not budging on child support or custody though.
Levi has been an angel today except when Michael was here, then he cried and cried. I was trying not to intervene so Michael could get practice with him crying but I could only take it for so long. I asked if he wanted to change Levi's diaper or clothes and he said no. So I hope he's ready. He's taking Levi for a few hours on Sunday after G&G's going away lunch. He said his dad and Denise will be there to help, but really that's not much comfort to me.
