Finally we've had three good nights of sleep in a row. Well, actually two were a little short but it was entirely our own fault. We stayed up late, which we rarely do; Sunday until 11:30 to watch the Oscar telecast (which wasn't very good) and last night until 11:30 to watch a movie (that wasn't very good either). Now why do we do that to ourselves?
BUT, there was not a peep out of either girl all night long, and Clara has slept until 6 am each morning. So we are on the way to feeling more human!
Clara is obviously feeling much better. She is so happy, and is starting to communicate a lot more, which is fun. I loved observing the language acquisition with Lee. Clara has a few words she will reliably say ("uh oh", "thank you", "down") as well as others that she perfected and now feels she no longer needs to say ("hi", "bye-bye", "please", "ma ma", "da da"). But she's very expressive with gestures and other means and manages to get her point across.

I'm glad everyone's resting more. I recently saw a Cary Grant movie, "Talk of the Town," which I liked a lot. It seemed to be a mystery/suspense/legal drama... except that people kept making foolhardy decisions and getting into funny situations. It took a while before I realized it was really a comedy all along.
I remember the "thank you" - but I'm fascinated that she has already phased out other words as old hat. So young to be so jaded!! Then again, why use a 5-cent word once you've moved on to 10-cent words??
But thinking of BAD movies that you find yourself watching all the way through... You should see if B remembers renting "Bitter Moon" in Cohassett. (He might have blocked out the memory, and I wouldn't blame him.) We just kept watching in amazement, endlessly waiting for the movie to show some redeeming quality, anything at all to justify the recommendation that had caused us to rent the blasted thing.
