The sleep train did not get derailed last night. I’m beyond grateful that Owen slept all night and I slept better than I had in quite some time. He proudly said he “slept all night” and then quickly added “slept upper night” trailing it all together. He then immediately went into a mix of asking about church and if he could take his tablet with him. I said yes and he moved on to wanting milk. There is no time for me to not be awake when there are so many questions to be answered so coffee needs to be made. I welcome all the conversations we now have and the connections are amazing.
He walked up to me and said something like “Shore is gone.” I asked him to repeat it. He went through a few more versions that were close, then he picked up his knee, pointed to where he had hurt his knee a few weeks ago, and said, “Shore is gone.” I said you are right your sore is gone. He repeated “Sore is gone” and went back to playing with his tablet. The connections were amazing and I still get so excited when he points to things. He was able to show me exactly what he meant and go through the steps. My heart was jumping for joy with this progress.
He dropped something and said, “Then it make you angel.” He is truly trying to figure out how to tell his story. I can see how they work with him on wording at school and how to say things. He worked through it with me and then said, “It make you angry.” “Too expensic,” he moved on to. He wants every app and so many of them cost a lot. I tell him that we can’t afford all the apps and that they are too expensive. Bring on the words. I love all of this. New words, new explanations, and more details when he tells me things.
Our windows can be a sense of joy, amusement, or meltdowns. I never know what emotions looking out our windows will be for Owen. Today it was quizzical. “What’s going to happen,” he said as we were watching the fire truck and ambulance sitting on our street. They were across the street and he needed to check to see when “they were leaving.”
He was excited to go to church but he kept asking if he could bring his friend. He told me all the places he couldn’t see him and he wished he could go with him. I told him I hope he gets to see him again soon. He did great at church. I’m so happy he loves going. He didn’t want to get any food today and wanted to come straight home.
He talked to me all day long. Asking many of the same questions but coming up with some new ones as well. The big talk was about his day tomorrow. He wanted to make sure he was not missing his therapies again. I told him that he was going tomorrow and he said, “Foot feel better.” I told him “It did so I could” and before I said the words he said, “Drive me.” Thirteen is going to be a big year for my sweet baby O’s communication skills.
Bath time lead to “sit in the white bed” which lead to him trying to get out of bedtime. He was pulling out all the stops and wanting to laugh with me the whole time. I gave him the “extra time” he requested and then finally he went to bed. He was out quickly and I pray we have another great night of sleep. Let joy win your heart and become the melody of your soul. Smiles to all and donut daze!
