Half and half night and then success. Owen got up about three but I spoke the magic words “grandma’s house.” I told him if he didn’t go back to bed he couldn’t go and he went. He came back after five and even let me sleep a tiny bit longer but kept coming back with his tablet facing me so that it would shine on me.
Learning not to respond to things when you are asleep is not something I am good at yet. He needs to understand that just because he is up doesn’t mean I need to be up unless, of course, I do. However, the whole shining the light in my face is the attention he is seeking and it isn’t something I can keep myself from reacting to when I am still asleep. I have talked to him about it when I am awake but so far he is still getting the satisfaction from doing it but at least he isn’t quite as concerned with my eyes actually being closed.
He was pretty calm as the morning went on but he had two things on his mind. He kept hoping to see his friend when he went to therapy and he was excited to meet his grandma while I had my appointment. I told him that we would be getting ready shortly to go meet her and then I would pick him up later for us to go to his appointment. I was thankful he was listening.
I had my appointment and then I went to get Owen from my mom. He had a good morning with her and she told me he ate a lot. He even took a hard-boiled egg off the counter when she was getting ready to make egg salad. I love that he is making more decisions about food on his own. We got ready to go and he gave my mom a big hug. The love they have for each other fills my heart with so much joy.
We went to his music therapy. The whole way there I tried to distract him from his one track mind but his powers are far greater than mine. He wanted to know if he was going to see his best friend and no matter how many times I tell him I don’t know he still wants to know. He was not there but it did not keep the questions from coming. He enjoyed his session and talked about it and not seeing his best friend all the way home.
When we got home I was yawning and he pointed that out to me. It still amazes me when he comes up with things like this and says it. He is very observant but it still catches me off guard sometimes. I wasn’t feeling my best today but he did not want me to close my eyes at all. He kept talking to me and making sure I had lots of activities to keep me awake. He didn’t have his vision therapy so we had lots of time for many activities.
He told me that we weren’t going anywhere tomorrow but we will see what he says when he gets up in the morning. I’m thankful for a good day for my sweet baby O. I pray he sleeps tonight. I am thankful for Owen’s progress and his growth. Never give up on the hope for tomorrow. I watch my miracle grow every day. Smiles to all and donut daze!
