I think the "stupid questions" may be an attempt at conversation. At dinner tonight she asked me if I was drinking milk (YES!) and I asked her why she didn't just look at my glass. She said she was just thinking of something to talk about, so maybe a lot of it is attempts at conversation.

I love the shortening the choices as it goes on...have to try that out soon. So far, she's in bed, hopefully asleep soon, and no problems. (I said that last part very quietly, so as not to jinx myself.)
