Had a great night yesterday. We ate outside-beautiful night. H stayed at table longer than usual. He is a lot less fidgety/nervous. Had a few opportunities to validate.
After dinner I made shakes with my son, took a long walk by myself and then hung out with son.
H took dog out for walk by himself and returned with an item for himself and one for us? He made a point of saying he bought it for us. H was never the type to pick up needed items unless asked. I said thank you and told him I appreciated it as Job has indicated that this is important to him. Then he made himself a smoothie and one for all of us. He even carried them over to us. Showed appreciation there too. This also is a new development as he always used to just make whatever he needed.
Last few days he has come into the room making direct eye contact with me. This am he came out in AM to say goodbye to me before I left for work. This is a first. Usually, I just go past his door (which is always shut) and like to any house guest I say "bye, have a good day."
