2 steps forward, 2 steps back.
After needing me to brush his teeth for the past week, he accepted the toothpasted electric toothbrush from my hand and succeessfully brushed his teeth. He took the warm wet washcloth from my hand and washed his own face and let me wash his hands with it and remove his old t-shirt to wash his armpits. I was able to pull down his jeans and remove yesterday’s Depends and wash his bum. But not removing the pants to put on fresh Depends, so he went commando today.
After I gave him a quesadilla for lunch, I gave both of us fruit salad w/walnuts. He seemed confused. I spoon-fed him a few spoonsful, then he started taking the spoon from me to feed himself, but not to spoon up more fruit himself. Like a toddler in reverse.
He poo’d twice this morning, first time in master bath while I slept (clogged the toilet, but white vinegar dissolved), second time after breakfast in the guest bath. He never flushes poo, which makes monitoring easy.
After lunch he stood in the hallway and peed into the laundry room. A real big puddle. sigh. Then he walzed into the living room, sat in the swivel chair with the waterproof pad, and fell asleep.
