S19 could do calculus in his head but couldn’t tell me what he wanted for dinner. H leaves and suddenly S19 shines, doing things that shock the heck out of me. S19 isn’t afraid to try things now, his confidence is up, he talks more, laughs, plays pranks, it’s adorable.
H has less money right now due to COVID and not managing his money well. He said he’d buy me a lawnmower but now says he can’t (I believe him - long story). S19 and I went to Lowe’s tonight. If you told me a year ago that S19 would go in a store, pick out a lawnmower, get it in the car, come home, put it together without an anxiety attack I would have said no way. Wow just wow.
