We celebrated big time today. Owen slept until “six oh oh.” He was quite pleased with himself and I slept better than most nights. He was ready to surprise our friends at church and wanted everyone to ride on the elevator with him. I’m not quite sure what he wanted to do to surprise them but that is what he said. I knew most likely he would look at them and then talk to me for several more minutes as he adjusted to being there with everyone but I’m thankful he loves going to church and seeing all his people.
He thankfully was very calm all morning. Maybe he will start sleeping a little better knowing he can do more things as summer goes on. He kept saying that he slept until “6 oh oh.” He was asking about when he would see his best friend and if we would go eat Chinese food today. He didn’t ask if his friend could go to get Chinese food with us though. It would be a guessing game as to what he wanted to eat after church. You know he will have big plans to tell me. I’m thankful for all his words and I think it helps when he says that he wants to follow through with those choices.
He had a great morning and was very calm for most of it. He ate his breakfast and he wanted to make sure we were going to church. He told me he wanted to wear his red shorts to church and he was going to wear shorts the rest of the week because it was hot. I love how he is now explaining everything and able to make those connections. We got ready for church and we headed out the door.
He was very happy that we were at church and enjoyed his morning. He wanted Wendy’s for lunch and on the way home he told me he was rude to one of the people at church. He was excited to see his people and he often tells me that he is acting up so that he can continue to have these conversations. When I asked him if he really was mean and rude, he laughed and said, “No way.” He asked one of our other friends when he could come over. We made plans with some of our other friends to go to breakfast before we went swimming on Tuesday.
All afternoon he asked me when he could go to her house again and if our friends would go to the pool with us on another day. I know he will enjoy the pool. He wants to go to several different pools because one has slides and another has diving board. I think he likes trying out all the different pools.
One of my favorite things is to hear Owen say “I pray.” I make sure that I pray with Owen all the time and he hears me randomly calling out to God and saying I pray. Every night before he goes to bed we pray. Tonight he prayed for sleep and was thankful for all his people. Each day I try to work on life skills with him. The most important thing is for him to remember he is loved and to share that love with others. Let laughter, fill your heart and the memories fill your soul for what tomorrow will bring. Smiles to all and donut daze!
