It's quiet ... for the first time in probably 8 or 9 months, the weather is cool enough that the air conditioners are not running! I'd forgotten what it's like to awake to the sound of the birds singing.... they're usually drowned out by the a/c!
And it has rained during the night!
Kaylia has a cough at present ... it's getting better but it has been making it hard for us to sleep. She sleeps through it but we wake up.
Her language is steadily improving .... I can now talk to her normally ... for example to explain why we're going to do something .... or some other fairly normal conversation topic .... and she clearly understands. She doesn't respond with words but her expressions and actions show that she understands what is being said. It feels as though it is a dialogue ... instead of a monologue!
I feel at present that her future development will be determined by her desire to learn ... that she now has the tools to actually absorb and use knowledge ... her limit will be her stims .... the self-absorbtion that means that she's not even aware that knowledge is there to be gained.
