The five o’clock in the morning trend continued for both of us. Owen came to me, bypassing the bathroom, and then immediately started asking for his tablet. I said my good morning speech and he still kept asking for his tablet so I switched gears. “How did you sleep?” I asked him. He said, “On the bed.” He wasn’t wrong. I told him to go to the bathroom and then he could have his tablet.
Today was one of those days I tried to not have any bumps in the road. I tried to get Owen to go several places throughout the day but that wasn’t what he had in mind. We have had so many ups and downs this week I truly wanted him to be more in control of his day.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner seemed to be what was on his mind. Plus, all the snacks in between. I can tell he is growing. It seems like he sits at the tablet a lot requesting more food. Since food is something we are constantly having to work through it is always great to see him eat. If he sees or smells the wrong food he will have a meltdown. It has taken us years to get through his meltdowns over bananas and he is now occasionally having them.
He is so excited about his pirate game. He wanted to play it on and off all day. He also wanted to play games on his tablet with me. He played on his laptop for a while and we sang Christmas songs. I love hearing him sing no matter what season he decides to sing from.
I tried a couple more times to see if he wanted to go anywhere but home is where he wanted to stay. He was very focused on going back to school next week to see his friend. I pray that he gets to be with him and that all the kids can return to school. I know there are so many still waiting for power and I pray it comes on soon for them.
He is looking forward to his day with his grandma tomorrow and I pray that he sleeps tonight. Each day is a gift. Through the challenges we learn, we love, we grow and it always makes the victories that much sweeter. Find your inspiration and go after your dreams. Smiles to all and donut daze!
