My sweet baby O woke up around seven and I slept until almost five. I woke up at some point during the night but easily went back to sleep. It was the best I’ve slept in a while. Owen was very calm and ready for his day. He was focused on it being Wednesday and not ahead on his days.

I gave him a few minutes to wake up and play on his tablet. We still had plenty of time and I didn’t want to rush him so that he would stay in a great mood. He requested shorts and it made me think that we need to work on transitioning to winter mode so he is prepared. We got dressed and he started talking about crossing the street. I am making him tell me the directions of how to cross the street each time. He was ready for his day and away the bus took him.

Owen got home and he said, “You know the answer” before he ran towards his spot to wait for the bus to go past us. When he walked back towards me there was a lady down the street talking and he stood there telling her to stop saying that. I couldn’t hear her words but I could hear she was talking. Whatever she was saying was not making him happy and I quickly encouraged him to come inside. He doesn’t forget a thing and he can see and hear things that seem impossible but he sure can. Thankfully when he got inside his focus quickly changed to wanting his snack and he was very calm.

I told him the roads by burger boy are “broken” and that it may be a few weeks before they are fixed. There was a water main break near the area and the road buckled from it. I always tell him we don’t have time today when we can’t go by it and he says “Too much traffic.” Hopefully, this will help him understand if we have to go a different way.

I let his therapists know about their assigned days of blue pants so if he brings it up they can say that they wear them on their days and hopefully, this will keep him moving forward on his blue pants journey.

I went to breakfast with my mom and I brought Owen pancakes for dinner. I almost forgot I had them so I asked him what he wanted for dinner. He said, “Pancakes” and I remembered that I had gotten them for him. He asks for breakfast for a few nights a week. He ate every bit of them and was so happy.

In the bath, he went and we discussed the blue pants thing again. He seemed to be taking to it. His grandma is taking him tomorrow since I will be at my chemo infusion. I will tell him in the morning because I didn’t want him too excited to sleep.

He was happy as a lark when he went to bed and it didn’t take long for him to fall asleep. His laugh was full today as he was playing on his tablet and that always makes my day. Be the change you want to see in the world and watch the world change. Smiles to all and donut daze!

    I'm Lynn Browder. Owen's Mommy. The best moments in time are when I get to see the smile on his face and that giggle come from his heart.
