“Cookie”
“One”
“Two”
“Four”
“Ten”
“I’ll get you a box of chocolates if you give me a cookie.”
“I’m starving.”
“I need a cookie, I haven’t eaten in a week.”
“Please”
These are the things Gpa will tell me to get a cookie.
It is good that his appetite is increasing, but what a challenge to keep him full.
We’ve been very lucky in the bathroom. Not too many messes. I was reminded when we went and his depends were full, some fell on the floor and as I was having him sit down, some on the seat. So I started yelling to not sit down.
After I got that cleaned up and had him sitting. I squatted to clean up the mess on the floor and he moved his foot into the mess. I yelled to stop, stop, stop.
He looked at me and said, “What is wrong with you? All this is not necessary.”
I wish it weren’t. He doesn’t hear well and now he’s having a harder time comprehending what I am saying.
So even after eating a cookie, he will tell me he hasn’t, or he’ll be sitting in wet pants and not be able to tell me. I am so glad we have this extra time together because of his moments of clarity are precious.
Hope you are having a great day!
