Sometimes I can’t decide if I wake myself up or I hear the pitter patter of Mickey Mouse feet running on Owen’s tablet. This morning it was the latter. I lay there for a minute, telling my bladder to chill, but I quickly realized that it was Owen’s laughter that woke me, not that I didn’t have to go to the bathroom but his laughter is what got me. Today’s party time was slightly after four. When the pot of coffee is gone by six you know you’ve had a busy morning. The goal was to keep Owen calm or maybe it was to keep me calm. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are hard. Trying to get him to go anywhere on those days is hard. And it’s hard to motivate me to go as well. We are formulating a plan for next week. I go back and forth constantly on this because we are on the go so much that staying home a couple days really doesn’t seem bad but it’s more about the schedule and us staying home on the same days. It goes back to routine and schedule but I also want him to understand we can still do fun things on non-routine days. I think we both ate all day long. He is growing I can tell. He asked for pizza for lunch. I thought I might be able to get him to go get one but he wanted nothing to do with that. He is having so much fun with the maps app I added. He has been asking for a specific gas station but I couldn’t determine which one it was. He was talking about several things but he showed me the gas station. He didn’t start talking about a gas station until he went to summer school that I can remember so I believe he must have passed it in the bus. I am so impressed he has been able to find all the places he wants to show me on the map. I’m fascinated by how he can remember everywhere he has been. He wanted me to play some games with him and I reminded him about volume all day long. He wants to listen to everything loud and then scream over it. He played his harmonica for me and we sang a little. Although he’s not a fan of my singing unless he is. It all depends on the day and his mood. Plus, I’m really not a good singer. More eating and then more eating filled up the night. He was calm and that was what mattered. Bedtime leads to therapy tomorrow and Owen was ecstatic. I’m hoping we can go a few places tomorrow and we might even drive to his favorite gas station. Find the happiness to fill your heart and when it becomes overflowing share it with the world. Smiles to all and donut daze!
