I think I woke up every hour last night and it was probably because of all the noises I heard. Then Owen woke at four and that was that. He knew we had a full day ahead and he also knew that he didn’t want to waste a minute of it sleeping.
“Tablet tablet,” he said and quickly followed it up with “You know the answer.” There are phrases that I would use hoping that he would make the connection that he already knew or understood what was happening but instead, those have become phrases that are used to remind me that I have taught him the phrase and that’s about it.
We had about five hours before we needed to leave for his soccer game and that seems like it should already be half of the day. He wasn’t very excited about going to soccer but he was excited about going to grandma’s house and yoga. He was also excited about going to school next week and talking about the people he wanted to see.
We got ready for soccer, we drove to soccer, we got out of the car for soccer, and he was done with soccer. He went to the field and kicked the ball a little but he was ready to go to grandma’s house and that was that. We walked back to the car and off we went.
I dropped him off and ran a few errands until it was time for our yoga class. My mom brought him back to me and he wanted to go to yoga but he also wanted to go back to grandma’s house after yoga was done. Yoga is exactly what I need right now and Owen liked being there but he also wanted to make sure I knew where he wanted to go afterwards. He loved being on the swing and working with our instructor.
His grandma picked him up and I ran more errands. I went to pick up and on the way home I asked him lots of questions. Do you want to go to church tomorrow? Yes. Do you want to go fishing? No Tuesday. Do you want to go to school? Yes. Therapy Monday? Yes, yes. Therapy Thursday? Yes. Soccer? No. No. And no. Yoga? Yes. And so I have concluded once again that sports right now may not be the answer and that is fine.
He was watching a farm video and he was changing the languages. He said, “That one’s French” and it was. He went through many more and told me what it was as they were saying it. I often wonder how many languages he speaks or comprehends. I think he is coming closer and closer to being able to tell me what he understands. I have no doubt it is more than I can even imagine.
Nighttime came and once again he wasn’t thrilled that nighttime was part of something he had to partake in but he fell asleep quickly once he got in bed. I’m thankful for his progress and I hope one day that the phrase “you know the answer” happens when we all really know the answer. We will see what happens next Saturday and if soccer is a thing of our past. I might know the answer. Follow your heart, dream of tomorrow, and never give up on the miracle yet to come. Smiles to all and donut daze!
