Owen woke up after five and came to me, immediately starting to talk to me before he even got all the way into my room. All the words came pouring out of him, sharing so many details of days gone by. His smile made my heart explode with happiness. He wanted a ton of kisses on his forehead and smiled bigger each time I gave him one. He talked about being with his friends and wanting to go to see the fish. Sleep was better for me than it had been but I was still pretty tired.
Another premiere video was happening this morning and he was so excited. We had to go through setting the timer again and even though it had three hours he wanted it in five minutes. He still wanted to go see the fish but I wasn’t sure how the day would go. We ate our breakfast and he talked more about the video, seeing the fish, and going to Burger King.
The fish happened. He asked to go after breakfast again so off went. He enjoyed seeing the fish but he wanted to make sure Santa was gone even though he knew Santa was gone. He also wanted me to know about every one of the mannequins that did not have blue pants on. He told the mannequins too. After that, I took him to Burger King and he was happy we got it even though he only ate a few bites of it.
The rest of the day was filled with those rollercoastery moments. He wouldn’t stop asking the same questions over and over again. He rephrased them every way he could and there was no distracting him. When I would try to get him off topic he would stand a little closer and then scream or lick my head. Breaks are hard for him and he wants to make sure he is not missing a thing.
He doesn’t forget a thing so he went through all his days and everything that anyone has ever told him about the holidays. He was also telling me which days of the week the holidays were. He knew that New Year’s Day was the first and on Wednesday. He told me the fifth was Sunday and he goes back to school on Monday the sixth.
We had chicken Parmesan with spaghetti for dinner and he loved it but the whole time he was eating he talked about taking his bath. I told him he didn’t have to take a bath until later but he insisted on telling me about it the whole time. No matter what I said he was ready to take his bath. This got him in repeat mode again and I couldn’t distract him. After his bath instead of playing with his tablet he laid in my arms once again talking about all his days ahead and wanting his break over. It’s so hard on him to be out of routine. I pray as he gets older he will handle them better but right now my heart aches for these days when they are so emotional for him.
He fell asleep quickly, talking about sleeping all night so he could see his grandma tomorrow. I pray for sleep and I pray for the week ahead to go quickly for us. I have to focus on the good stuff. This morning was amazing and he was so happy. Let yesterday go and know that tomorrow is a brand new day. Smiles to all and donut daze!
