It’s been another good day for us. We didn’t do anything special. In fact, given that Kate slept until almost 11:00 and took a nap from 2:00 to 4:00 this afternoon, we’ve spent less time together than usual. We went to Barnes & Noble when she got up and from there went to dinner and back home for the evening.
At dinner, Kate looked across the table at me and said, “Tell me your name.” I said, “Would you like my full name or my first name?” She said, “The name your parents gave you.” I told her “Richard.” Then she asked my middle name. When I gave her that, she filled in the last name. She then asked me to repeat it twice more.
Leaving the restaurant we had to step down from the curb to our car. I gave her my hand which she accepted. She said, “Thank you for not thinking I am crazy.” I’m not sure what motivated it, but it appeared that she thought it silly that she was taking my hand for what seemed a simple task.
When we got home, we went to the family room where she worked on her iPad. She always likes to have the ceiling fan on but hadn’t turned it on. I was in the other room when she called to me. I went to the family room where she pointed to the ceiling fan. This was one of those times she was asking me something with her hand signals. I chuckled and turned it on. She laughed and said, “You must think I’m silly.”
As she was getting ready for bed, she called to me with a whisper from across the room. When I went to see walked over to see what she wanted, she whispered even more softly, “Are we spending the night and tomorrow night here?” Moments later as she was undressing, she asked the same question again.
She turned out the light and got into bed before 9:30. I was surprised because of all the sleep she got last night and this afternoon. I wonder if this will affect what time she gets up tomorrow.
