No sleep for one of us and early to rise for the other. Radiation after effects are no joke and I was up most of the night with that. Owen proclaimed he “slept upper night” but he woke up extremely early. He immediately wanted milk in a cereal, and I immediately wanted to go back to bed.
Our main focus on the day was getting through it so that spring break would be over. He is beyond ready for Monday to come. He handled the week pretty good but it’s also been very hard on him. It’s also so much and he wants to get back to school. He watches his videos on his tablet about activities that they do at school and he also uses one of the apps to do his schoolwork. He prefers getting the wrong answers because he likes to hear the “boing” sound when he puts the wrong answer into the box.
He sounded much better today with his allergies but we also didn’t go anywhere. I was the one that sounded froggy now. I’m hoping that everything will finish blooming soon and we can go back to our normal voices.
We worked on following directions and getting him to do more independent life skills. When I try to explain to him how to get something if you say, look at the bottom shelf in the refrigerator that doesn’t necessarily get him to that shelf he will look everywhere else but that shelf. I watched him look all around the refrigerator, pick up stuff from the other room, and even go to his bedroom, looking for something that I told him was on a shelf in the refrigerator.
I also had him help me bring the groceries in that were delivered. When there is a group of bags sitting someplace, and I tell him to take them to the kitchen, he will take one bag and then sit down. He doesn’t understand that when I say we have to take all the bags to the kitchen that means every single bag. It is something again that we have to work on for him to be able to understand that that group of bags needs to be put away and into the correct locations.
All in all, he had a good day. He wanted to put everything into his toy microwave and the real microwave, but thankfully he didn’t turn the real microwave on. I’m not quite sure why he’s decided to put everything in the microwave but he finds it hilarious and makes sure he tells me.
Bedtime was once again quick and he was out pretty much when his head hit the pillow. I pray he sleeps tonight and hopefully, I sleep tonight. I told him I wasn’t feeling well and he stayed next to me most of the day and wanted what he calls hugs but it was a kiss on his forehead. He made sure he laughed a lot for me and I truly saw growth happening before my eyes. Share your joy and know you are amazing.
Smiles to all and donut daze!
