Owen sounded much better when he woke up. He slept all night and thankfully I got a little more sleep than I do most nights. He went through all his usual morning questions but the biggest thing he said was he missed his friends.
He wanted to know when he would go back to school even though he knew exactly when he was going back to school. He found his school on Google Earth and showed me the door he goes into. My boy with the heart of gold said, “Miss friends gone on spring break everybody needs to be happy only one week.” He went on to say that his teacher “will be happy she misses everybody.” I told him I’m sure she does. He then started going through the aides and bus personnel.
He does not like it at all when I’m on the phone but he spent an hour on YouTube listening to different ringtones. It always amazes me what he finds fascinating. He is now saying “new ear” on purpose instead of “near year” so we can go through it together. He told me he needed to go see his speech therapist. I think he is trying to find ways to do more sessions.
Since he sounded so much better I decided he could go to his therapies. His music therapist said he did good but was quiet. I’m sure his allergy medicine was making him sleepy too. He was excited to see his friend there and talked about him on the way home. When we got home he started sneezing with all the trees in bloom.
He did pretty good at music therapy about blue pants and mentioned them a few times at his vision therapy appointment but he talked more about her gum than anything else. He was a little more anxious at this point and did his exercises fine but he was pretty loud several times. He was happy when we left and asked the doctor to walk us out to our car and she did. She is always so patient and kind with him.
Before vision therapy he said he wanted Bob Evans for dinner again. I told him we can’t have Bob Evans every day. He said yes we can. He then told me he needed a break from spring break. When we left his appointment he said he wanted Tudors but I told him we weren’t going in that direction so he decided on Chick-fil-A and told me he wanted Dairy Queen on Wednesday. He’s quite the food planner.
He asked Siri for the “Do you like broccoli in Espanol song” and was singing right along with it. He is asking for more languages again. He likes the song but he doesn’t like broccoli. He liked the green beans I gave him the other day so I will try broccoli again soon.
By bedtime, he was getting that allergy sound again and I could tell he was tired. He actually asked for bed. I have timers set every night for the different things we do and he asked for his breathing exercises. We work on them hoping for calm as he sleeps. Sleep happened quickly and I hope he sleeps all night. He told me “Mommy loves my laugh” and I told him yes I do. Make your happiness a priority. Smiles to all and donut daze!
