Hard, hard day. Nothing specific. Just spinnings in my mind. Lists, reminders, an inability to hold on to any thought deeper than the shallow end. We did not do church today, let David sleep late. Julia watched tv, then helped me make pancakes -- sampling the first pancake that came out of the pan. For a very long time, Julia has asked for food but never assumed that she could just take something when she was hungry. This was more than a little kid always asking mom for food also that is only my feeling, and now it is changed. Watching Julia sample a pancake is a particular kind of joy.
The guanfacine has been stepped down to 1 mg a day. Julia seems to be very hyper tonight. Did the guanfacine do that much? Or is it the movie -- princess and the frog -- yesterday, that she id still talking about, and the dinosaur show that we are watching? Tomorrow, we will step down to .5 mg. It will be next weekend before we start with the stimulents.
The "love and imagination" that I wrote about in the raltionale, are Julia's. She showed us her ability to imagine from very early days. And love as well, when she met us, he decided that she wanted us and then hung on.
