Owen slept all night. I mostly slept. He told me immediately he would get to go to church since he slept all night. After he went through that he moved into saying good morning to me. He always says “How are you I’m fine” before he waits for an answer.
He grabbed his tablet as he told me he got to take his tablet to church because he had behaved. I hope that meant there was not going to be any screaming today. He went to play and over his shoulder, he yelled for me to get him some cereal and milk. He added please which I’m glad he is back to adding when he is asking for things. I talk to him about manners and giving people kindness and grace.
He knocked something on the floor and immediately started picking it up. This was huge. He squealed a little as he was doing it because he had so many emotions he was processing with that one moment but he worked through it without crying or screaming. I want him to understand accidents happen but it’s how we handle it that is important. He told me he picked it up all so he should get a reward but he didn’t tell me what he wanted the reward to be.
He was in a very talkative mood. He also told me that we were going to Bob Evans on Friday for pancakes. He was once again trying to fill his days up with other activities while he was on break. I was hoping this would all come true. He was deciding what days he thought he would see his grandma and the fish. He mentioned many restaurants that he thought he could get his grandma to go with him to. He was plotting but I loved all the things he was thinking about.
We got ready for church and when we headed out the door it was raining. Rain always stops me in my tracks because for years rain was so hard on Owen. I can’t even begin to think about how many times he cried, begging me to turn off the rain. Thankfully he has gotten through it and he was on a mission to get to church.
He did great at church and then he requested lunch before we headed home. The afternoon quickly turned into evening. He wanted to know what he was doing for the rest of the week. I couldn’t tell him because we hadn’t made our plans for every day. He stayed pretty calm throughout the day which was a huge blessing. He was back to wanting to lick my head again but he corrected himself and said, “Mommy doesn’t like that.”
There were a few rollercoastery moments but overall it was a good day. I’m thankful Owen was happy and we only have one more week to go before he starts back to school. He wanted to sit with me before bedtime and I love the conversations we have when he is making all the connections. Find what makes you happy, share your joy, and believe in the hope for tomorrow. Smiles to all and donut daze!
