When you pray for “little blue jeans” to be clean you are ready for them to be clean. What Christmas movie was going to be on was the next thing on Owen’s list. “Grandma will know,” he told me. He proudly claimed he “slept all night,” leaving out the “upper,” and told me that the clock said it was “five oh oh.” It felt like he stayed in his room until then and must have waited for the clock to change because I heard him get out of bed before then but did not start making his way to me until my clock changed to exactly five. He was ready for his day. Did I mention he was very ready for his day of “little blue jeans” and Christmas movies with his grandma?
Some days it is nonstop talking from my sweet baby O. OK, so really most days are like that but today was one of those days. He had a lot to say and I couldn’t keep up. The details he stores are incredible. He asked me more times about the Christmas movies that were supposed to come on when he was at his grandma’s house than I can even remember. The plot twist came later in the day when I was talking to my mom about it.
I was taking him to my mom a little bit earlier because several parades were happening in our area and that generally means the traffic is worse. It wasn’t something I talked to him about because it would have caused him to be more worried about whether he was going to still go to grandma’s house. He took his bath and we got ready.
He had been asking me all morning if he could wear his “little blue jeans.” They were clean but his bins were not empty. He had one more day but what did it matter? The bins were keeping us on track in the sense of him having clean clothes in sets ready to go but it by no means was deterring the need, want, talking about “little blue jeans.” And if anything it may have increased it if that is possible. So “little blue jeans” it was. He was very happy.
Off to Grandma’s we went. In the car I was trying to distract him so I asked him to sing for me. I love hearing him sing. I then asked him if he could make sounds instead of the words. He immediately started doing it for me. I am so impressed with how far he has come with his music.
He stayed there for many hours and he had a pretty good day. The movies he wanted to come on they didn’t come on but what I found out was these were movies from when he was younger. He remembers all the movies he would watch at Christmas time with his grandma. He also remembers the commercials for them and what his grandma would tell him when they were watching them. He never forgets a thing he doesn’t want to forget.
She brought him home after they drove past the “blue church” three times. He was so excited when she dropped him off so he could see her car drive away. He wanted the video of it immediately and couldn’t wait to get inside to see it. The movie talk started almost instantly. He wanted to know what movie they would watch next week and he always wants it to be the same one.
The night was filled with a lot of emotions, more from me than him. He asked me tons of questions all night long. So much of the time I don’t have answers. My heart hurts when he talks about missing his best friend and not being sure when he will ever see him again but he was excited because he can’t wait to get to church tomorrow to see all our friends. It wasn’t long and it was bedtime. He was asleep quickly and I pray he sleeps all night. I love hearing him sing and it is a beautiful melody in my heart. Keep moving forward. Smiles to all and donut daze!
