Rachel was sitting up in bed when I went in to get her up this morning. She hadn't gotten up yet, but she was obviously awake. I asked her if she had slept well, and she said "yes." That was an awesome response. She kept making noises all morning. I think in her mind they were words, but she didn't open up her mouth far enough to actually have a word come out. She seemed relatively happy until I wanted her to get dressed. She said "I want to go sit down. I want my presents." She then proceeded into the living room to the couch. I don't know if she's thinking birthday or Christmas, but she wasn't happy that I didn't have presents to give her. I took her back in her room to get dressed, and she seemed to forget fairly quickly. I dressed her today, since she is wearing a dress, so that didn't take long. She wasn't in a talkative mood at all. The only thing she said today in church was "I want to go home." Now we're home, she doesn't really want to do anything at all.
Yesterday was a little crazy, with lots of errands and chores being done. She was totally uninterested in any of it, sadly, so she mostly sad in her room or in the living room and looked at books. Actually, she sat and stared at nothing while she had the book in her lap. Right at the moment she is staring out the window, and she keeps tipping over to her right. I wonder if she'd tip all the way over if I didn't say her name once in awhile. She's done this before, and even worse, and she's come back. I have to keep remembering that.
