This morning as e and I approached home after our walk, I saw that she was asleep. So when we reached the house I quietly lifted the stroller over the threshhold and left e in it to nap, taking advantage of the unexpected free time to write this. If she doesn't wake on her own soon, I will wake her so we can go to story time at the library.
She is initiating communication more frequently now, pointing to things she wants, expressing her wishes without words but often very clearly. We are working on sign language with a few basic signs, such as milk (which she does very well), Mommy and Daddy, more, and eat.
K is back from a week in Myrtle Beach, where men from his family have met each November for a golf tourney for eleven years now. They fish and golf and enjoy the time together. K expected 25-30 would come; I don't know the final count. I'm sure he must be surprised at changes in e in these few days. For instance, when she stirred this morning he immediately went to her room, lifted her out of bed and brought her to E, not realizing that now she often goes back to sleep. As she eats more solid foods, she seems to sleep in longer stretches, hitting twelve hours one night last week.
