Today started early for Michael and I. We had to get to the bank to clear up a couple of things. Nothing major just a little misunderstanding on our part.

Afterwards, I went to get my hair done while Michael met his parents for lunch. My stylist is doing great. She is in a good relationship; she and her boyfriend are thinking about getting married. And, she is about to make a career move.

My jeweler called, the David Yurman necklace I wanted came in and she was holding it for me. At first I was going to wait until she got back from vacation to pick it up but, since Ben was taking a nap and Michael had nothing to do, I left to pick it up.

I missed Ben while I was out. When I got home, he smiled a lot. I think he even laughs sometimes. He's getting better with his hands. His actions appear more purposeful and controlled. He has stopped hitting himself. His schedule is also changing, sometimes he will go 2.5 to 3 hours between meals plus he is sleeping more at night.

Tomorrow, Michael and I are going to a play. His parents are going to watch Ben. This will be the first time we leave Ben with someone.
