A new stage?

I'm not really sure if I am over analyzing or not, but I have noticed a new thing. Yesterday, while my dad was sitting in his chair looking like he was going to fall asleep, I went over and started to slide the stool over for him to put his feet on it. I said, here, you want this for your feet? He said, what is it? I said, the stool for your feet. He said, ohhhhhhh....and proceeded to put his feet on it. Then when I was cutting his hair and shaving him, I brought out his razor, and he asked me what's that? I told him it was his razor and he said, my razor? emphasizing the word razor. hmmm.... I know that sometimes, those with AD will have difficulty recognizing familiar things, or knowing what to do with them. Is this happening? I'll keep my eye out for this lovely new thing.

The weekend went well. My dad has been kind of quiet, like he is being introspective, but I know that is not the case. He is enjoying the Olympics, but I think I'll need to have a little more control over that because he (and I) stayed up way too late watching swimming last night. On the positive side, the relay team won. :) Fun to watch for both of us!
