Once Owen and I woke up from our little nap last night I couldn’t fall back asleep until after midnight. I was surprised we both slept for about thirty minutes before it was his actual bedtime. He woke up in the middle of the night asking for waffles and chocolate milk but I told him to go back to bed. He did but came back to get his tablet at a time when the clock was way too blurry for me to see. He was calm though and asked again around 5:30 for chocolate milk. Within no time it was three waffles down, wanting to stay home, and talking about looking at the calendar to see when he could schedule meals with all his people.
I told him that we should use his calendar on his tablet and we can put all of his appointments in there. He said, “No no no” and walked away. A few minutes later he came back with the calendar open and said, “You can see the calendar.” He handed it to me and started asking about when he was going to breakfast with his people. He wanted me to put it on the calendar. My heart is exploding with joy! He actually wants to even look at the calendar and put things in it. My sweet baby O is growing! It makes me happy that he is so excited about going places now. I dreamed about these moments.
He told me every few minutes he didn’t want to go anywhere so I didn’t push it. We have plans tomorrow for breakfast and bowling. He is very excited about that. I asked him what he wanted to do and he said, “cracker burial” as he calls it, and bowling. He told me that he wants big pancakes, not little ones like I got him last time and he said, “No water at the bowling alley.” Last time the bowling alley had no water because of work that the city was doing for some reason so hopefully we won’t have that problem again but otherwise we will go shopping or to the park.
He is worried about everything shocking him. He listed things all day long that could shock him and asked me if he would get shocked. He won’t open certain doors because during winter he got shocked when he tried to open the door. It’s hard to even explain why you get shocked sometimes and don’t get shocked other times. Hopefully, he will stop stressing over it though. I don’t know how else to give him comfort from it when I can’t even explain it.
Time for school to start is dwindling down and he is super excited about that. He wants to make sure his best friend has a seat at school near him and that he will get a school tablet as well. I keep trying to prepare him that they may not be in the same class but he can’t even imagine that is an option. I’m thankful he will get to see him more though.
We were getting ready for bed and he started talking about going bowling. He said, “I hope it’s not broken I pray.” Every time I hear him say “I pray” a smile washes over my face and I am thankful. It reminds me of how many times a day I tell him I pray something works out or happens. God is always walking with us on this journey and I am so thankful that Owen has learned the power of prayer. Pray loud, pray faithfully, and listen for the replies when you step out into the world. Smiles to all and donut daze!
