The good news about the morning was Owen slept all night, and in fact, he slept what I consider to be late at almost six in the morning. For that, I was very thankful. From there it was a rough start to our day though.
At first, it was going to be a two-hour delay for school but then it was cancelled. This made Owen cry and scream. He was so excited about going back to see his people that this was devastating news. In many ways, it was a good thing because I was still on the fence if he was ready to go. I know the cough always last longer but he was still so tired and not eating much. He definitely didn’t see it that way though.
He went through cycles for the first few hours of crying and screaming but he at least was not directing it towards me. I was exhausted when I woke up and I was still not feeling that great either. He wanted to see his teacher. I know it is so hard for him to process all of these moments.
As the day wore on he was happier and more content. I knew he was feeling better when he wanted me to watch a video about eyeballs. It shows someone that makes props or something and he thinks it is hilarious. It makes me squeamish which makes him laugh even harder.
He was on high alert with all the cars coming and going down our street. He looks out our window and screams when someone parks near our house. My heart aches that he gets so upset every time he hears noises or sees cars outside our house. I hope that I can find some property soon that as Owen says “is in the campfire woods with s’mores.”
The cough stood the test of time today but thankfully by the end of the day his smile was brighter and he was full of a lot more energy. I am praying they don’t cancel school tomorrow so that he can go. I feel like it was good for him to have another day.
My bunny ears were a big topic for him but he didn’t scream about it. He asked about his grandma many times. I had explained she was having surgery on her shoulder and he wanted to make sure that she would have the same hair. He needs us to look exactly how he needs us to look. I told him she would have the same hair.
Bedtime was calmer than last night but still emotional. Routine, snow, and sickness do not work hand and hand. Praying once again for a good night of sleep, but oh so thankful for a happier Owen. His laughter was back today and that filled my heart with joy. Be inspired to change the world with your smile. Smiles to all and donut daze!
