Some days it feels like rinse repeat and other days it feels like everything is changing constantly. Today I wanted a calm day for Owen and we got that. Thankfully he slept and woke up in another great mood.
He wanted to wear blue pants once again. This time they were blue pants but jogger pants. He wasn’t as thrilled but he wore them. I keep hoping this phase will move forward instead of backwards but it seems like we are stuck in these moments.
We went out to wait for the bus and he wanted to lay in the street. I have to remind him that he can’t. I’m not sure why this has become a new fascination but he wants to lay directly in the street, not on the sidewalk or grass. I explain that even though it is early in the morning there are cars that come by and he has to be safe. Thankfully he listened to me.
When he left for school I had decided we would have a calm day at home unless he specifically asked to go someplace and he did the follow through. When he got home from school it was pretty much what I thought. He talked about going to lots of places but decided to stay home. The next few days will be busy for him so I thought it would be good to stay home.
We played some games and sang songs together. I love hearing my sweet baby O sing. I love that he is fascinated by music and that it is very calming for him. He played his harmonica and his ukulele for me as well.
He didn’t want much for dinner but asked for pizza for tomorrow night after his therapy. We will see if that is what he decides. It’s his birthday so maybe I can convince him to go out to dinner with me. That is sometimes harder on him but maybe he will want to go.
It’s hard to believe he will be twelve tomorrow. The days, weeks, months, and years have flown by. He doesn’t completely understand that it’s his birthday tomorrow or what that even means but to me, it means everything because I was given the most amazing gift ever.
Bedtime came quickly but he kept getting up wanting hugs. I pray he sleeps well and has the most amazing day tomorrow. Thursdays are one of his favorite days because he gets to go to therapy so it should be amazing for him. The smile he gives me is what makes my heart happy. Find your happiness and share it with the world. Smiles to all and donut daze!
