I was asleep early and awake even earlier. I woke by three and Owen followed by a little after four. Exhaustion was the name of the game today and not one thing sounded good or tasted like it should. I was thankful for the medicine they had already prescribed for me.
Owen knew we were staying home today. We have several busy days ahead. He immediately said, “Stay home” and took his tablet back to his bed. He was quiet and he was calm. I was very thankful for this.
I fixed his breakfast and he started talking about summer break. I know that the transition from July to August will be hard for him even though he knows he has several weeks left until school. I pray the days go quickly for him and that he can process each day separately.
He was in a good mood all day. Something else I was very thankful for. I can see the little boy turning into a preteen. It is both a blessing and hard to believe. The little boy is still there though and I see him cycling through behaviors that he did when he was so tiny.
He found a game from the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse he hadn’t played in years. He was beyond excited about it. He had to build the rocket ship for the space adventure. The pure joy washed over him again and again. I love his excitement and that is what got me through the day. He wanted me to play it with him off and on for hours and I was happy to play so I could see his smile.
The translation game is in full swing. His laugh made my heart so happy as he asked Siri to translate more phrases. Sometimes he says too many words and then the translation takes a mind of its own. The laughter erupted so many times as she answered something silly that was nothing like what he was saying. My heart soared once again.
He was excited about his therapies tomorrow and kept asking about the order for them. We are possibly going to an event at his other therapy place depending on how our morning goes. I’m hoping that we can because I think he will truly enjoy it.
Focus on the good stuff. That’s what I keep reminding myself. Owen’s joy is what got me through today. I remind myself that each day is a gift. Find what makes your heart happy and go after your dreams. Smiles to all and donut daze!
