The changes are happening so quickly that I am forgetting what life was like a few months ago. And when I sit back and remember, I can see even more things that are changing. Like:
~Today I told Kate I was going to take a shower and she said "Ok". No big long fuss about how stupid I look after I shower or that she is not ready for me to take one. Just a simple "Ok". So peaceful. Allowing me to have control over my schedule and my needs. And the other day, she was ok with my hair in a ponytail!
~We are going in stores!! We look around, put things in our cart, pay, and then walk out and get in the car. There is still quite a bit of distraction and dawdleing, but the fact that we make it out quietly is quite a change. And when we get in the car, still quiet, most times. And sometimes we even go to TWO stores in a row!!!
~Kate woke up at 8am today(instead of between 6:30 and 7:30. And instead of jumping out of bed the second her eyes opened, she just laid there. She was just chillin', playing with salamander and snakes. She actually said she was still a little tired. She is admitting she is tired, FEELING that her body is tired.
I know there are more, but I am not remembering them right now. I will have to write them down and then add them later.
easy to forget when things subtly change.
