This is gorgeous! Such vivid details. The part where you talk about needing to remain still and not "jump too soon" when your son is trying to communicate reminds me of how I have to restrain myself when my older children talk about their grief over losing their baby brother to cancer. I literally bite my tongue because I don't want to scare off their words or try and project my own.

Thank you! Yes, I'm biting my tongue (or remembering too late that I should) all the time.
