The happy dance was danced. I slept randomly last night but the important part is Owen slept until almost seven. So close to seven that it was pretty much seven. We had a big day ahead and a lot of adventures to undertake. He didn’t know about most of them until it was almost time to go because if I told him sooner it would be harder for him. This is where it’s technically harder for me because I want to tell him what we are doing so he will be excited about them but he can’t process it unless he can process it and the times I try to tell him early he focuses on it. He had a pretty calm morning and thankfully he didn’t sound as congested as yesterday so I’m hoping he is through his allergies or maybe the new medicine is working. We had to drop something off and then we were going to lunch and the park with our friends. The dropping off part is hard for him. He doesn’t understand that it doesn’t always mean I make a phone call or that we even get out of the car. We got to our destination and the person came to us to get the package they were taking for us. We talked for a couple minutes and Owen was interjecting every few moments. He was done with this and wanted to get moving on our lunch plans. He said, “I appreciate you goodbye see you later.” I understand how hard it is for him to process it all but I also try to get him to understand about manners and how we treat others. When we stopped at a red light he said “light broken” and at first I thought he meant because we had stopped but then I realized it was because the edge around the light was cracked. He amazes me all the time with how he looks at the world. We ate our lunch with our friends and then we went to the park. He didn’t ride his bike very much because he wanted to ride another little boy’s bike and he wanted to swing on the swings that already had people in them but he was having fun. After we left there we went to his therapy. He did great with both sessions even though he was a little hyper. On the way home he kept talking about Halloween and going trick or treating but when I told him that it was still a few months away he didn’t want me to talk about the months in between. The screaming is what gets me. He screams every time he hears something he doesn’t want to hear. I breathe. I asked him what he wanted to be for Halloween and he said, “Halloween character.” He wanted all the lights off when we got home. This is becoming a huge issue again for him. What is interesting to me is he wants no lights on but hates when the electricity is out. He gets very upset about it. One day he will be able to explain it to me and I will be thrilled to understand more. I’m thankful for my sweet baby O and the huge progress he is making. Today is your stepping stone to a bright tomorrow. Enjoy the sunshine of your life. Smiles to all and donut daze!

    I'm Lynn Browder. Owen's Mommy. The best moments in time are when I get to see the smile on his face and that giggle come from his heart.
