I woke up a couple of times last night but thankfully I slept until after five. That felt like an accomplishment. I heard Owen get up and go talk to his alphabet caterpillar in the living room around six. He was walking back and forth in the room talking to some of his other toys. I love hearing him so interjected.
He came to me about ten minutes later and said a quick good morning like it was not even two words, asked for his tablet, told me to stay in the “white bed,” and ran off to play. I have been giving him time in the mornings to do what he wants before we do any of our routines. I think it is helping him to be calmer and have his time before we get our day started. I do love the days he wants to snuggle but I can see with age they are not as many as they used to be.
Breakfast ran into second breakfast and third breakfast. It seemed like he ate pretty much all day and is definitely growing again. He knew he wasn’t going to see grandma today and he decided he wanted to stay home. I had asked him a couple of times if he wanted to go to the park or somewhere else but I think he needed a day to just put his feet up and enjoy his day. And boy oh boy did he bring on the laughs.
I love how much he is exploring all the languages again. He sat asking Siri to translate words and phrases into numerous languages. I think I laugh as hard as he does when he hears the responses. Sometimes the words he says are not the same as what she translates and his little belly gut laugh takes over. It then makes him ask for even longer sentences and it all goes from there. He is now saying more of the words and then he laughs even harder. I love his pure joy from hearing the words.
He was watching a video from the Small Potatoes about haircuts but he was listening to it in Spanish. He started dancing around the room singing along with the video and threw himself on the couch laughing hysterically. I have been talking to him about me getting a buzz cut on Tuesday because my hair is falling out more so I know he is processing it and doing so incredibly well with all of the changes. I love that he can make these connections and I’m thankful that he has an understanding of what is happening.
Bedtime came and he talked about going to church tomorrow. He can’t wait to go and see all his friends. I’m thankful that he has such a close relationship with so many people who love and adore him. It didn’t take long for him to fall asleep and I kept thinking about that big toothy grin as he laughed throughout the day. I’m thankful he is still finding a way to work through the repetitive words and he has become so much calmer.
It was a better day for me. I’m still having a hard time with food but if it went like the first infusion the week ahead should be getting much better. I’m thankful for so many things and the blessings I have in my life. Seeing Owen enjoy his day made today bright. Live today with all your heart and let tomorrow be your guide for a beautiful future. Smiles to all and donut daze!
