Which is why I love that mine is so steady. Although she may not fully understand why I'm acting in certain ways, or saying certain things, she doesn't get "lost". She allows me to get reoriented and come back, rather than trying to "chase me down" or follow my logic if I'm not allowing her in. If she tried, I bet she would get disoriented. Instead, she seems to be okay with not really knowing what is going on and accepting the things I'm willing to say and show in the moment. There have been so many times I've been unable to explain what is going on inside me, and she has been okay with that. And other times where I know but am unwilling to say, and she has been okay with that.

I can't imagine the chaos that might ensue if she demanded all the answers and tried to always figure everything out.
