New/More Interaction

An interesting observation I've had recently is that Demi seems to be initiating more interaction with me than previously. She's never been averse to affection, but she typically does not seek it out. The other night, she requested that I rock her in my lap. While a normal and frequent occurrence for Dana (she DEMANDS is regularly!), it was unusual and welcome from Demi. She has also asked me to pick her up recently. She may have been imitating Dana, who does that on a regular basis, but Demi typically does not ask that I pick her up, especially not "just because."

Demi has also been pretending "normally" lately. She regularly crawls on the floor pretending to be a cat or a baby. Again, she might be imitating Dana, but she does it on her own without Dana present, so it's not initiated by Dana.

On her note home from school today, Demi's teacher was excited that Demi had asked a friend if they wanted a (pretend) bite of pizza. While she does that regularly at home while playing with Demi, she rarely initiates play with her friends at school.

I procrastinated ordering the fish oil, so we've run out before the new stuff came. :( Hopefully it will come soon. When we ran out before (10-12 days without), she got quite spacey. I also ordered some Threelac, which I read was effective for yeast, which gets kicked up by liquid zeolite. Once I have all my ducks in a row, I'm going to start the Threelac to make sure yeast is firmly under control, then increase NCD slowly. She's been on 3drops, 3x for quite a while now. After raising the NCD dosage, I'd like to try increasing the fish oil. Perhaps she'll be able to absorb more (and build more myelin sheath) with more NCD. We'll see.
