He asked for something!!!
I know...it doesn't sound like a big thing to some. It is huge in the world of V, I think. I have had V for nearly 2 1/2 years. He never asks for anything. I have to always ask if he needs anything. Some have said I should let him go without. I have always tried to make sure he had the things he needed without asking. I have always felt it was V's way of not attaching, like he didn't need anything from me. I have waited for this for some time!
Today, he came to me and asked for three things! And they were not "need" things! Ok...I will settle down now!

Only here...
Only here would everyone understand how big of a deal it is for V to ask you for something... While "not asking" may not have been a consious thing for him to keep from attaching, seeing this shows that he is also "not-consiously" allowing himself to settle in... at least some... and with some I guess it takes a long time.
See... you're little plan with him and J4 might be already starting to show evidence of success... ...not to change the subject, but in our little situation with E going back to his mothers, I'm finding E is no longer asking me for things anymore... I think subconsiously or not, he's trying to see or prove that he doesn't need Kerby any longer and can be successful without Kerby at his moms... anyway, sorry to digress, but I understand your enthusiasm...
