Definitely different behavior today. She totally let me slide on that mess up early this morning. When I came home from running errands, she asked if I had any plans for the rest of the day. I said I was headed to the gym, then to pick up the boys from school, but I'd be free after that. She asked if I wanted to run together. I said that sounds like a plan, I'm heading out. She surprised me at the gym and was very talkative and all smiles. We chatted for a while and then did our own thing. I needed to leave to pick up the boys and walked over to where she was lifting. She was all smiles, and said "hey you, how's the workout going?" I said great, I'll be nice and sore tomorrow. She giggled and kinda pinched me in the mid section for a minute. She then asked if I wanted to do something for dinner. I replied, let's get the kids settled and make a plan.
Aside from that (feeling more like a big step rather than a baby step), when I got home with the boys, I went to jump in the shower. I noticed she had a card I got her a couple of weeks ago just to say I was thinking about her and her family during their rough time that was propped up next to her basket with her hair ties etc. Usually cards that I get her for BD or V-day or whatever go in a box or drawer.
Maybe we have moved into another phase of her coming back to M? Maybe I'm reading too much into this...obviously it's just one day. Based on everything she said at MC, I would have never anticipated today's behavior/interaction. Should I do anything different? Should I start with the touch charges now suggested by Steve? I intend on staying on the path R2C! I definitely don't want to pursue and I want to continue self-differentiation. I also don't want to push things she isn't ready for...ILYs, holding her as we fall asleep, etc. Probably just wait for her to initiate those, correct?
