More sleep was had for Owen and oh how thankful I was. I woke up early but went to bed early so I felt more rested and was glad he didn’t wake up yelling again. He was very hyper but very happy about it. He had a plan that included his grandma and he shared all the details as he requested his breakfast.
I should say it was multiple plans and he was seeing which one stuck as the morning went on. Meeting grandma, Dairy Queen, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, computer, tablet, and meeting mommy were all mixed in there. He randomly said a few other things and reminded me repeatedly that he slept all night. He did not want to miss the opportunity again to see his grandma.
He was much calmer as the morning moved on. He was repeating a lot of his words but that was him making sure that his routine that he was missing would be happening soon. He decided he wanted to go to Dairy Queen with his grandma so we met her there. We had lunch together and then he went to spend a few hours at his grandma’s house. He told her he wanted to meet me at Kroger. He has certain ways he likes to do things and when everything falls into place it makes him very happy.
I picked him up from Kroger and on the way he was already plotting the rest of the week. He wanted to go back to his grandma’s tomorrow, he has therapy on Thursday, and then he wants to meet his grandma at Bob Evans on Friday. Oh the mind of my sweet baby O.
When we got home he asked for a snack and gum. I told him that he could have both but not at the same time. He decided he wanted gum first. He took about a third of the piece of gum and threw the rest away. It’s interesting how small of a piece he wants. He chewed it until it was dinner time and I had to convince him to throw it away.
Bath time didn’t come quickly enough for him. I think we were still both tired from the last few days. The calm is where it was at for the evening and I was thankful. He didn’t want to go to bed right away but I convinced him that he needed to follow directions so could have his tablet in the morning. I’m not sure what we will be doing tomorrow but hopefully, we get a great night of sleep.
2024 has been a rollercoaster of emotions but I look at where we started and I’m thankful for how far we come. I embrace the new year with open arms and I am so thankful for walking into it cancer free. I know as I look forward to 2025 it is with my eyes open wide and the expectations of a great year. I can’t wait to watch Owen grow and I’m beyond thankful for each day I have with him. To live, to learn, to grow in the year ahead is exactly what I see for both of us. Follow your dreams and make the most of each day. Smiles to all and donut daze!
