Talking to my son Eric and started comparing how LO has been like a new baby since Alzheimer’s got a hold of her. I thought I would list some of the comparisons and ask you to add some similarities you have noticed.

BEHAVIOR SIMILARITIES/OPPISITES:

New babies are still unknown and we look forward to what they will become,
Sometimes behave by crying, temper tantrum, and even screaming.
Love for them grows as they grow-(sometimes dislike instead)
Remove dangerous things like scissors and automobiles.
Who is that????
Change diapers and sheets and ???
Baby proof the house for safety!
Traveling is much harder and complicated
Sleeping schedule changes.
Etc. Etc.

Add your own observatios and I will combine later.

Bill and LO Carol

Don't leave them alone.
Keep meds under lock & key or out of reach.
Try to ensure they are clean and neat looking when going out in public.
Talk to them calmly and softly w/positive words. (most of the time)

When he smiles...everyone smiles.

cs, I like your positive take on this. It is so true! Thankfully my DH is happy most of the time, and is still holding onto his sense of humor, which always made others smile and laugh!

Someone else always "did it".
Need help getting dressed...and undressed.
Can't be out of their sight.

When they get sick they can't tell you where it hurts or what is wrong.

They start acting up when you are on the phone...

They won't tell you when their pants are wet. You discover it when they get off the chair which is soaking wet- again.
