I really understand your caution. Plus, this is gentle for him too, and seems like he's liking being in control of the dial of turning the warmth back on in the M, so you being overly happy would probably make him feel like you had insane expectations. He probably likes your toned reactions.
BUT, that said, REALLY, your news just MADE MY DAY!!!
This is TWO days now of more than he's given in a while. I understand this happened before, and was withdrawn, but take it for what it is, now. Seems like something tripped his wire, maybe he's been ready for a while...I really think so. Your self-control, warmth, readiness to be receptive to his actions and to laugh really make him feel loved. Keep it up.
Honestly, this is really big--a huge 180 for him.
I agree with your counselor, but indulge just a little and let this boost your PMA for the future...stock up on PMA!
