A few small changes between yesterday and today:
1. Julia seems to be coming to some understanding about time. She has been asking whether I will pick her up right after school or after after-school. She seems to understand yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and yesterday, she asked to bring clock into her bedroom. Up to this point, Julia has lived in the present. Trying to tell her that she will get enough stickers to earn a new little pet in two days has been really difficult. Telling her that we are going to do something tomorrow or next week or next month has been next to impossible.
2. Julia wrote her entire name on a line tonight. She still needs help spelling her last name but she made her letter to intentionally sit on the line.
3. Julia also is being much more affectionate. She is hugging me and asked for her special ed teacher for a hug when she is overwhelmed at school. I have been missing her hugs. She has still been affectionate with David but with me, she can be angry or vaguely willing to do what I ask. I feel like we have cracked another layer of protection, and we have a bit more of our girl.
On the other side of things, Julia is still being very fidgety.
