Owen woke up and went to the living room. I heard him talking to himself. It felt like a happy morning was beginning for him and I prayed it lasted all day. I could hear him walking back and forth. I didn’t want to interrupt him so I waited until he came to me. He came to me and said, “Tablet.” Our day began.
He was excited because he knew he was going to see his grandma while I went to my physical therapy appointment. He knew they were going to get breakfast and go see his favorite statue the burger boy. It always amazes me what he decides to like or see. When we leave his grandma’s house he always wants to go see three fire hydrants. I tell him we can’t go every time. If we do exactly the same thing every time it causes more meltdowns if any detours or changes happen.
We got ready and out the door we went. He was ready for grandma time and I headed off to my appointment. I worked hard at my appointment and then went back to pick up Owen. His grandma said he did pretty well and only had a few moments while they were driving around. We came home and it was a much calmer afternoon.
I feel like he was eating from the minute we returned home. I’m not sure if it was technically second or third breakfast but for almost lunch time he asked for his third set of pancakes and chicken. It didn’t take long and it was all gone. I think dinner was about the same way.
The care center at the cancer clinic I will be having my treatments called today to set up an appointment so that I can take Owen with me to meet with one of the counselors. I wanted to be able to see if they could help explain all of this to him in another way and to make him a part of it. I love that they do this and I hope that having another point of view of how to explain it to him will help.
Nighttime seemed in slow motion for me but it’s probably because I was up so early. All my days seem to be flowing into each other. We plan on staying home tomorrow so I think that will be good for him since we have another busy week ahead. His laughter warms my heart and I’m thankful for a pretty good day. Let yesterday go and make tomorrow shine. Smiles to all and donut daze!
