Drifting Saturday

Saturdays are made for sleeping in if you call a little after six sleeping in for Owen and me until four. It was a somewhat calm, somewhat chaotic morning. Owen was going to spend time with friends and I was going with my momma. She’s still sticking with the she fell out of the hot air balloon story but I have to say there was an elephant in the room with that story. But the good news she’s on the mend and I’m thankful for that. Owen didn’t want a lot for breakfast besides cereal but about thirty minutes before we were getting ready to leave he asked for shrimp. I made him some shrimp, he ate it all, and asked for more. We were both in slow motion it seemed but we got dressed and he picked up his helmet and put it on his head as we walked out the door. He told me he needed his helmet in case he got to ride a horse or a bike. Then he said he was going down the slide into the pool so he could get a basketball and put it in the hoop. He has a vivid imagination mixed with the reality of everything I have told him. He is still waiting for his new bike to come and since the other one got lost in shipping I am getting him a different kind. I told him he was going to a basketball game with our friends so he was very excited. I dropped him off with them and they continued to give me the play-by-play throughout the day. He had a wonderful time and I think more basketball games are in his future because when I picked him up, he told me he wanted to go back to the basketball game. He also told me that he was going to go again next week with them but I don’t think they know that yet. The boy has plans. I love how he works through his words. He said, “campfire frock frok frog marshmallow fork roast marshmallow on the fork.” I can tell how much he is growing and his words are getting stronger. He downloaded a Spanish and French app and was singing with the words on the one app. He asked me tons of times when we got home about his week ahead. He said, “mommy pick me up on Thursday” and I told him yes, praying that all of his routine returns. Once again he fell asleep quickly and he had one thing on his mind, “Dear God, church church church, Amen.” I told him we were going to church tomorrow and I’m thankful for a great day for my sweet baby O. In a river we can work with or against the current. Either way, we are taught an amazing lesson about life and how to grow. Smiles to all and donut daze!

    I'm Lynn Browder. Owen's Mommy. The best moments in time are when I get to see the smile on his face and that giggle come from his heart.
