I’m not sure how many times you can wake up before it’s time to wake up but it was that many times. There were so many noises last night so little time. Thankfully Owen slept through them all.
He was pretty calm again but wanted his people and routine. He wanted to wear a red shirt like his best friend. He doesn’t have many red shirts but it’s incredible that he wants to be like him. He told me he wanted to go do lots of activities when he came home from school. The pool and Clay Center were on top of his list. He then told me he wanted to go to a carnival. He was full of information. He told me when he went to the pool he was going to sit on the diving board. I told him he had to breathe and swim first. He had plans, lots of plans.
We went out to wait for the bus and he started talking about his day. “Are you sure,” he randomly said but I could tell it was someone else’s voice he was using. He will do that when he uses certain words. It’s like he’s almost completely mimicking them.
The pool was first on his list when he got off the bus. He was very excited to go and said, “Pool first no snack” but then decided he wanted one while I got dressed. We left shortly after that and he listened to all my instructions.
He did amazing. I still won’t let him on the board yet but he jumped off the stairs that were in the 10 ft end and his head went under twice. He wanted that big splash but he will get there. He practiced a lot of kicking and more jumping in the shallower end. He wanted to hold my hand when he jumped but I tried to pull him forward. He is so strong he was pulling me up while he was on the stairs. He asked for a few more minutes before we had to leave but was very calm when we did.
What was funny though when we walked out to the car he said, “black car let’s go shopping I’ll take that one” and started walking towards it. I said we can’t just take someone else’s car and he said, “How about that one” and pointed to a different black car.
I think this is a great time for him to learn how to swim. He is listening better while in the pool than he did when he was younger. It is good exercise for both of us and I like going when hardly anyone is there.
The night was calm and he ate well. He goes to see one of his favorite doctors tomorrow for a wellness check so he is very excited about seeing her. I’m happy he likes going to see his doctors. There have only been a handful of times when it was hard and that is mostly due to the blue pants meltdowns.
Bedtime is always something he doesn’t want to do anymore but it seems to go quickly. I’m thankful for a great day with my sweet baby O. You can choose to let yesterday define you or you can choose to let yesterday inspire you for your dreams coming true tomorrow. Smiles to all and donut daze!
