OK ... you probably wondering if I finally lost it? but this is my crude representation of an inchworm walking ... and that's the walk I see your H doing too.! It many it may seem like he is just "chasing his tail", but look at what he was doing just a scant few months ago. Those things he's doing alot less frequently now. Take notice of his actions now and you see he is now doing more of what he wasn't back then. He is just making changes inch by inch . The consistency of his changes are improving at the pace an inch at a time. It ever sooo slow, but it is still motion in the right direction.

As a project, have your son draw some of these and put them around the house ... put this up on the fridge ... etc. Maybe turn it into a new motif decor for a room. (CAW is into dairy cows in the kitchen) It'd be a way to keep ever present reminder that some day your H & you will get where you want to be.
