We ate some breakfast and got ready. The drive there was perfect. He was extremely calm and listened to me all the way to the doctor’s office. He handled everyone not being in blue pants and was able to answer the doctor’s questions. I talked with him about how we were handling my breast cancer diagnosis and that he was going to middle school in August. I’m so thankful for how he handled it all. The doctor wants to meet a week after he starts school so that he can help Owen with any transition issues he may be having.
We got breakfast before we came home and it started the food trend for the day. I believe Owen is growing. He is branching out again with food choices and that makes me very happy. Lunch followed breakfast very quickly and dinner seemed like an all night event.
I may or may not have started an avalanche I can’t stop. I told him he would be going to high school after middle school. He has decided he wants to skip middle school and go right to high school. He wants to watch 87 which is the Disney Channel to him and sit in the classroom with his friends. All afternoon he wanted to discuss high school and I feel like this is going to be something he will want to talk a lot about.
He spent the evening singing songs and playing games. I am thankful for him being very calm throughout the day. I am also very thankful for how I felt all day long. I was a little tired and my lips were dry but otherwise, I felt good. I was able to eat all day and I drank a lot of water. I feel very blessed.
The night came quickly and Owen was very excited about the days to come. Tomorrow is his last day of soccer. He was more excited about seeing his grandma than going to soccer so we will see how long he will want to stay. I will probably wait a few years until we try sports again. I think he likes more individual activities but if a different type comes up we might try it. I want to give him all the opportunities I can but I also want him to be able to choose what he loves.
Each day is a gift and I’m thankful for the gift of calm for Owen and no feeling of sickness for me. I know that the prayers and good thoughts have truly blessed me today and always. Be blessed in your day and know that the sun will shine on you in everything you do. Smiles to all and donut daze!
