When I say Owen was full of conversation I mean he pretty much was talking nonstop since around four this morning until he went to bed, sprinkled with a few quiet moments. He still had a very snotty nose and you could hear it in his voice. He wanted to go see his grandma but I told him last night we weren’t going. He wasn’t running a fever still but I didn’t want to take any chances with getting her sick.
Indecisions are almost as fun as overthinking. Today was a day full of those moments. Plus, add in exhaustion, and no decisions were made today but a lot of overthinking happened. He got very upset because people outside were screaming in our neighborhood. He came running to me wanting them to be quiet. He was almost about to have a meltdown over it when I could hear them finally walking down the street. I keep praying for some property to become available that will work for us so we can move.
“I want to go see grandma in Arabic,” he said asking his tablet to translate something he already knew how to say. He’s been listening to more videos in all the languages and asking for translations again. He had a video playing the other day and I asked him if he could sing the song. Without hesitation, he started belting it out. He doesn’t usually do that for me but he knew that whole song and sang it amazingly.
He pulled up a coloring page on his tablet. He used to avoid doing them and would bring them to me to do if he had to do them in a series of steps. He stood next to me and colored to whole screen blue, avoiding all the colors in the lines suggestions I threw out. I never imagined he would want to color like this so even though he wasn’t coloring the picture in he was making huge progress by coloring it at all. I told him he did a fantastic job and off he ran.
I gave him more medicine and it seemed to help his nose but I could tell he was still very congested. He was requesting more food as the day wore on so I finally ordered what he requested for his birthday dinner but then never wanted me to order it. He ate two crackers with spinach and artichoke dip on them while we waited. He seemed to like it but didn’t want any more. He sure enjoyed his dinner though.
He probably won’t be happy but we won’t be going to church tomorrow. I don’t think he is contagious but he is still very snotty. I cut his hair and he took a long bath. He was pretty calm but kept checking to see when he was going back to the babysitter he had when he was young so he could play their piano. He also wanted to know when he was going back to school even though he had been telling me all day that it was one week.
Even though he wasn’t feeling well he had a good day. I hope he feels better tomorrow so he doesn’t have to miss his therapy on Monday. This spring break cannot go fast enough for him. He would be happy if his routine stayed the same all year long. He spent a lot of time sitting right next to me and wanting me to hold him. I enjoyed are time even though it was exhausting keeping up with all our conversations. The dude does not forget a thing and remembers so many details. Let happiness be your guide for an amazing tomorrow. Smiles to all and donut daze!
