Sleep is a glorious thing and I’m so thankful we were not “upper night.” Listening was not on Owen’s agenda for the morning but going to grandma’s sure was. He knew we were going to baseball but he wanted to skip straight to the grandma part.
He was very calm all morning and then we started getting ready to go to baseball. The skipping to grandma part was the focus that kept coming up but it was a runner-up to reminding me that he was going to school on Monday. He keeps going over and over about the storms and how he missed school. I’m not sure how to help him through this when you can never guarantee there won’t be a storm coming through again.
The process to get dressed was also not something he was interested in. I asked him if he put his shoes on and he said, “Yes.” He had not put his shoes on yet but he had wanted to get back to his tablet. He didn’t listen when we walked out to the car either. I asked him to put his tablet down and he wouldn’t. From there it spiraled as we drove to the baseball field.
He wanted to run around as soon as we got to the field. I totally understand that but he doesn’t understand he has to wait until it’s his time to get out on the field. He wasn’t as interested in actually doing the steps of playing baseball but instead very focused on going to his grandma’s house. He did the steps but today it wasn’t his top choice.
He got to wear his new team shirt today but it was black and orange with a few other colors. He kept wanting to take it off because he thought it was his “Halloween costume” and he wanted to be in the blue shirt like the other team. He did wear that hat some so this was a big deal for him.
We left there and he spent many hours with his grandma. He got to go on a ride with her but they had to come home early because he started screaming about the directions she was going. I picked him up and we came home. He ate a huge fish dinner and several snacks.
The night was pretty calm and he listened because he wanted to take his tablet to church tomorrow. I told him he could if he slept tonight. He fell asleep quickly and I don’t think I will be far behind. We grow, we love, we learn. And today we grew a lot. Find what makes you grow and watch how your day unfolds. Smiles to all and donut daze!
