One of us woke up in a mood and the other quickly got there. I’m not quite sure why Owen woke up on the wrong side of the bed but at ”five oh oh” the fun began. All I wanted to do was sleep a few more minutes and he wanted to yell about everything he saw and heard. The screaming finally stopped about an hour later but it took a lot to get him to calm down. I know he was excited about his “movie trip” and that he was going to see his grandma later in the day but it was a wild ride to get there.
I told him that he needed to calm down so he could have a great day. Our friend planned on taking him to the movie and then going to a craft fair at our church’s school. I told him he was going on an adventure with her. He told me it was “adventures in Kanawha County.” He then started talking about living in the “united steak” and where they might go in Kanawha County. He listed different friends who lived across the county and the places he likes to visit. I talked about other counties and places he could go.
He then told me about where he goes to school. He mentioned going to “college school” and I told him that he could do anything he wanted there but he had to keep learning and select the correct answers now. I asked him if he would like to study languages and he said yes so I told him to sing in another language. He sang Humpty Dumpty in German. After that, he did not stop asking about all the people, places, and things. My brain is exhausted thinking about it all but at least he was in a better mood.
He also talked about his birthday. I told him that he can plan his birthday party and do whatever he wants next year. I said last year you had it at school but you can have it wherever you want. We will see how this goes. He couldn’t completely grasp what I was referencing so it will be interesting to see how he comprehends it.
It was finally time to get ready for his adventure. He could hardly handle the excitement. We are hoping he will last longer but you know how it goes. While we waited I practiced having him quickly go to the porch. I did it for several reasons. He gets hyper-focused on what he is about to do so it helps him to know that things can change at any moment and he has to adapt. Plus I want him to know how to escape if for whatever reason he needs to get inside our house. He has to learn to spot if something is happening but he also has to listen to commands from others for any and all situations and not ignore them because he wants to go somewhere. He is rude to distract a moving train but it is something he has to learn. He did very well with it but it is still hard on him.
He got home and was so very happy with his adventure. Our friend said he did amazing. He lasted the whole movie and they even started another one and the kids lasted about halfway through it. She said he did great at the craft show and they went by the “blue church” twice. He was very excited about his next adventure.
He was super excited about his grandma coming to get him. I told him that she wasn’t coming right away but we would be outside in plenty of time to see you drive up. He wanted to go outside early. I set the timer so he would know when we could go outside and he was so happy. His grandma came and off they went. I headed to my event at the cancer center where I was performing comedy.
After it was over I went to pick Owen up. My outfit was a concern only until I was at a four-way stop and I correctly allowed someone else to go first. He was not pleased with this decision. Otherwise, it was uneventful because we had to discuss the rules of the road the whole way home. He told me he would sleep until “six oh oh” because it was an hour later than his bedtime. He was ready.
“Dear God, thank you for Bible Center Church, Amen,” was his prayer tonight. He told me he couldn’t wait to go to church. We have a very busy week ahead and he can’t wait. I’m thankful for a great day especially after the very bumpy start. I see so much growth in my sweet baby O and I am here for the amazing ride. Be inspired by the world around you and be the voice of an amazing life. Smiles to all and donut daze!
