Owen slept all night. I got some sleep but it’s never enough. He was very much ready for his day and he wanted me to know he “slept upper night.” He asked me numerous times what the day held even though Mr Calendar Head Man can probably tell me the date of everything he has ever done and everything he is going to do.

He told me that he is going to see his grandma on Saturday and that she will be wearing blue pants and a button shirt. He is still processing it all. I feel like he will still be upset when he sees her again but at least he will be calmer if she wears jeans. He wanted to make sure I told him he could go but I told him I wouldn’t be sure until Saturday and he said if he “slept upper night.”

He knows he is going to see his doctor tomorrow and reminded me about the appointment. His calendar in his head is always clicking off his days. We got dressed and my happy boy was off to his exciting day knowing that he was going to music therapy and his vision therapy after school.

His teacher said he had a good day and his music therapist said he was very calm. She said the boys both worked well together. The whole way home he talked about how he was going to ride the bus home. Originally I thought his appointment was earlier so I told him I would pick him up from school. He told me “Mommy made a mistake.” He was both happy and wanted to make sure I knew.

“Bubble hand bite your finger sore hand,” he said as he was taking a bath, showing me how his hand was going in and out of the water. He wanted to make sure I knew he wasn’t supposed to bite his finger. I told him that was correct. I told him he knew that hurt his finger. He is making a lot more connections.

I am blessed. I remind myself of this every day. I’m trying to tell myself that I have to keep moving forward and know that I’m in God’s hands. I see progress in myself even though I’m my worst critic but I see even more progress in my amazing sweet baby O. I’m thankful for where he is now and I’m praying he sleeps again tonight. The interactions mean the world to me and that laugh he does is absolutely amazing. Focus on the good stuff and let it be your motivator for a better tomorrow. 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.
