Last night was one of those non-sleeping nights but who knows for what reason. A thousand things floated through my head. This is the week that everything tastes different after my infusions. I am thankful this one hasn’t been as bad as the last three but I am ready for food to taste good again.
Owen slept until a little after five. I’m thankful with everything that was on his mind last night didn’t keep him awake. He came to get his tablet and I lay in bed a little bit longer. He was beyond ready to get his day started. He knew it was October. I am so amazed at how well he keeps on top of the days of the week.
We spent some time playing together before we had to get ready. He told me that we had to cross the street and watch for cars. I am loving this progress. He was much calmer this morning as we went to the bus until he had to get on it and then it was the same thing. He had to check his schedule and make sure what was happening with all the days ahead. I know it is so much for him to think about. I wish I could reassure him of his schedule even though it continues to be the same.
When he came home from school he was very calm. My favorite part is when he gets off the bus he runs down the sidewalk to wait in his spot for the bus to pass by and honk its horn. I’m so thankful for the bus drivers and aides. They truly give their all to my son.
Food was the name of the game all evening. I was so happy when I asked him what he wanted for dinner and he said, “Pancakes with a fork.” He uses utensils but it is not his favorite thing to do so when he asks for silverware my heart always jumps for joy. He is truly growing.
Bedtime came quickly and his teacher and aide were talked about a lot. He couldn’t wait to go see them tomorrow. He was telling me about Spookley the Square Pumpkin and he wanted to watch the video. It makes me smile knowing that Halloween is something he looks forward to. For years wearing a costume was too hard for him and here he is now waiting to dress up in October. Smile in the moments when it feels tough, rejoice in those days that feel rough, and know that tomorrow will be a better day. Smiles to all and donut daze!
I love how he now puts his hands behind his head when he’s cheesing 😁
