Today I was doing the dishes and Kalista swiped a tablespoon form the drawer. She helped me do the dishes and was super sweet. I ask her if she wanted to wash the spoon she had been holding and she kind of turned away so I couldn't get it. Then when we were done she said "Help" and got the liquid advil down out of the cupboard. I ask her if something hurt and she said "head"!! She needed the spoon to measure the advil and me to open the bottle. It is amazing to me when I see her brain working. I am surprised by how patient she was, taking the time to help me first with no meltdown.
All of her life I have thought if she could just communicate to me when she doesn't feel good that would make the whole experience easier. I am so happy and grateful that she was able to do it... Hopefully this is the beginning of a new skill.
