I just understood, just now, this very minute. I fully believe every interaction is unique. Even if it happens over and over with the same person, it's always a new experience. That does make me happy.
Also, it explains why answering about "usually" is a challenge
Pain is an indicator, not a challenge for tolerance
Rest is a requirement, not a reward
You also have a collection of adorable wiggles. When you get excited or surprised, even when you're curious or furious. You captured me with your wiggles, you know.
I just thought about how you snack too hard when you get engrossed. You start stuffing little bits into your mouth even though you haven't finished the last bites. Like a chipmunk.
It made me smile. I hope that's okay.
