Last night at bedtime S6 asked W if she was ever going to sleep with daddy at home again. Her response was, I'm sure I will. He asked when and she said mommy just needs her girl space right now. I know it means nothing but I thought it was funny she had to say it.

One thing I've noticed over the last few days is W getting in my personal space. Close enough that under normal circumstances I would've grabbed her or at least touched her. Friday night she was heading straight for me and it threw me so bad she asked what my problem was (I must've flinched). I told her I thought she was going to hit me (not really, but we were always very playful and she was allowed to use me as a punching bag--strictly fun). Yesterday she came up next to me to eat in the kitchen. She was actually up against my arm with hers. Last night at boys bed time she came through S9 bathroom and shoved me, so i shoved her back. Caught her off balance and she almost fell (again, only playful---there has not and will not be any physical abuse in this house). Same this morning on her way out the door. She got right up in my face and asked US History questions. All three times i reached way down for strength and didnt say or do anything but return the same vibe that she was sending out. Not getting hugs or ILYs but definitely new behavior.
