I'm going to make this update, though I can't say there's too much to add. Daniella is getting stronger with each day. She's decided that she would like to learn to play chess, which I'll admit I thought was incredibly random. She has a very child like quality about her and in the way she seems to react to things.... that in itself takes some mental gymnastics for me, given the mental image she projects of herself (which hasn't changed from the dream I had).

We've come up with the idea of experimenting with me trying to let go completely, so that she can start to learn how to take control. Just simple things for the moment, like drawing and writing and just a few things like that. Daniella is keen to start this asap, we'll likely try and start tomorrow. We'll see how it all goes, she's also due to age up soon.
