Co-parenting Rule #2 - Celebrate special days TOGETHER!!!

In the 3 years that me and my ex have been split, we have spent all of those "Special" days as a four person unit.  You know, mom, dad, 2 boys.  Well this years birthday for our youngest was no different. 



So my youngest's "Birthday Week"  started last Thursday.  He wanted spaghetti for his birthday dinner, so the four of us went to the local Italian place for pizza and spaghetti.  This was his actual birthday, so mom and I gave him his presents at dinner.  Friday evening Cooper spent the evening with the ex's new family. 

Sunday was the party day.  For the first time the party was at her house.  I picked up the bounce house on my way over and we spent the afternoon at party with the boys and their friends.

See, in this situation, everybody gets what they want and need.  Mom and Dad both get to spend the special day with their children and even more important, on Cooper's special day he had his both mom and dad by his side.

It was a great day!!
