Rinse repeat is on full cycle right now. The waking up by five, telling me he “slept upper all night not sleep upper all night,” and wanting to immediately go see his teacher trend continued. He was very focused on what he wanted to do. My sleep has been up and down for months now so what’s one more night?
Some days it is all about the emotions. And today was a big one for me. It can be hard with the constant noise and never knowing when he is going to scream at me or about something else. I breathe and I try to talk to Owen about our emotions. I always want him to understand that I love him but he can’t scream at mommy because he is having a hard moment. I want him to know that he has to work with me through these moments.
We got ready and went outside to wait for the bus. He wanted to make sure he was going to see his teacher on Monday. This thought did not stop until he got on the bus and came home with the same words. He is so concerned about his routine.
When he got home I made several mistakes but I was slowly able to rectify them as the night wore on. I wasn’t wearing the bunny ears he preferred so my answer was for us to both be wearing bunny ears. I told him we may not go see his grandma until Sunday. We will see how she is feeling and if he sleeps all night.
His request did not end when he got home and he said head to his teacher over and over again all night long. I’m thankful he loves his teacher and she helps with his routine. Dinner and his bath were also requested a lot. We got ready and his bath was completed. The yelling of happy screams came after his bath and I talked to him about the screaming again. He just laughed and laughed, reminding me how much I love his laugh. He can’t process it all.
Bedtime came and he was out quickly. I pray he stays asleep all through the night and he sleeps later than five. I’m thankful he was in a good mood for most of the day. We will probably stay home tomorrow unless I can convince him to do something fun. Thankful for his laughter and counting down my radiation days. Eight more to go and I am ready for it to be done. Be in the moment and let your light shine. Smiles to all and donut daze!
