Still alive,
Clara's awesome.
She says such profound things as "I see moon," "appasauce" (applesauce), "Hi," "night night," "arms up" "all done", and so our talks have gotten a lot less one-sided. It seems like she's learning two or three words a day now. Vocabulary of about 50 words, can accomplish simple tasks like fetching something or putting something back where it goes. It's amazing. My little baby who used to just eat and sleep and poop is a little person I can have conversations with.
She keeps trying to help type, and so the page has refreshed several times and
several buttons are already missing from her previous adventures in typing, before I just gave her an old keyboard to play with.
Nursing while typing is actually easier than *not* nursing while typing, too, (apparently).
Most frustrating thing, sometimes.
Need to write more. Can't turn my head off at night. Not all of it makes sense, and writing -- just the logical flow of having to form sentences -- helps make sense of things, usually. 's why talk therapy works. In order to tell someone something, you have to narrate it in a way that at least makes sense in terms of grammar, this happened, then that happened, because xyz.
