The excitement of Owen’s day got him up a little before five. He could not wait to go back to school. I didn’t sleep much and I was feeling about the same as yesterday when I woke up but my foot was feeling better.

The laughter filled the house as he ran from the living room to me and then back to sit at the table to eat some cereal. This is how the whole morning went. He talked about who he would see and what they would do when he got to school.

We got ready for the bus. He wanted to wear shorts but I put him in blue jeans. I’m always torn at this time of year but it was still a bit chilly. We went outside and he couldn’t wait to see the bus turn the corner.

I knew I wasn’t quite ready to drive because of my foot and after my appointment, I knew I would be tired so I canceled his therapies today. He handled it all quite well. He was excited because he got to ride the bus home.

My friend picked me up and I went to my checkup from my surgery. It was all good news. Everything looked great and my scars were healing nicely. She even looked at my foot and said if anything was a mild sprain or just tender where I hit it but there was no bruising.

When Owen got home he immediately asked if he was going to go to school tomorrow to see his teacher and everyone else. We went through several of the activities he did and then he was back to asking about his people for tomorrow. The paper he brings home from school, it showed he had a good day.

He wanted chicken for dinner and I asked him if he wanted ranch or honey mustard with it. He said ranch. I gave him some of both and he ate a little of both. I have been giving him different sauces to try. He likes some BBQ and tolerates ketchup occasionally. I figured since he likes ranch veggie straws he would like the dip and he does.

He always likes to sit with me before his bedtime in the “white bed.” That is what he calls it because of the comforter on it. He asked Siri to translate “giraffe tallest mountain in Arabic” and Alexa chimes in with I don’t see any giraffe tallest mountains. Then she continued to translate “giraffe tallest mountain” in Arabic. He laughed and laughed. His laughter is the best.

Bedtime came quickly. After his bath I got him dressed and he then put on my yellow bunny ears. Off my bunny eared boy went to bed. It is the greatest feeling in the world knowing that lights up the world with his smile and my heart is so full with his progress and communication. Find joy in the little things, know they will turn into big memories, and your heart will continue 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.
