Sleep was a figment of our imaginations last night but at least Owen was extremely happy about it. The dude couldn’t wait to get to school. I am so very thankful for how much he is embracing this new year.
I woke up every couple of hours last night. The last few days have been a little rough for me but I was finally feeling the upswing as the day wore on. Food was not tasting like food should and I was wishing it was tasting more like those caviar dreams you are supposed to have.
Owen played on his tablet and stayed in his room while I attempted to sleep a little bit more. I got up to go to the bathroom and he directed me back to the “white bed go lay down.” He is now adding directions to what I am supposed to do.
We got ready and went out to wait for the bus. It was a much better day for him now that he understood the bus was coming from a different direction. I wanted him to look at the moon but that is a hard concept for him when he knows that it is daytime. I explained to him that it was still out and he could see it in the sky. He turned himself around and refused to look at it saying, “No no no.” I didn’t push it because he was doing so well with us waiting there. Thankfully his bus pulled up and he was off, yelling towards me about going to school on Friday. This is also still hard for him to be able to handle.
When he came home from school he was excited once again. He watched the bus drive away and then we came inside. I am giving him time to do exactly what he wants before we talk about his day. I feel like it is helping him process it and he can then tell me more about what he did. I know that some of what he says isn’t necessarily what he actually did but I love that he can hold a conversation with me about the different things.
He was playing on his tablet and laughing hysterically at the videos he was watching. His laugh is everything. It fills our whole house with joy and that is exactly what I need. I love it when he randomly belts out songs and does it on his own. Sometimes we sing together but he definitely prefers his singing over mine. And I don’t blame him.
I’m thankful for a good day. By dinner time food was starting to taste better and we both enjoyed our meals. I’m hoping that tonight we both sleep better although lack of sleep didn’t seem to bother one of us. Do not let one person‘s words erase the thousands of positive words other people tell you. Be stronger than the negative words and know that the truth is within you. Be bold, be beautiful, be you. Smiles to all and donut daze!
