Owen woke up very early to tell me he was on a break and that he would get his school tablet on Monday. He also wanted me to know he has to talk to his teacher about TeachTown to see if he can have it again. It’s an app he used at school when he was younger.

He went to sleep with the bunny ears on, woke up with them still on, and asked if he could wear them today. I told him to be my guest. He looked at me and moved on. It’s funny how he has decided to like them. I think he likes the feel on his head. He sounded better this morning and didn’t wake up with a snotty nose. I was hopeful.

He immediately started in on how he wanted to go to his grandma’s house. I wanted to see how he was feeling before I said yes, plus, I was exhausted from being up so early. Thankfully he was sounding better so I told him I would take him. It was quite an adventurous morning before we headed there around noon.

I started fixing him second breakfast and he said, “Pirate in the toilet pirate in the microwave.” I immediately questioned everything when I realized he was playing with the pirate from his game. He started giggling and said, “No pirate in the toilet pirate in this microwave” pointing to the microwave on the counter. He had been putting it in his toy microwave and knew he couldn’t put it in the real one. I told him he knew exactly where his pirate could go and he started laughing. He loves his toy microwave and he knows he can’t stick things in the toilet but he likes to see my expressions.

We got ready to go to his grandma’s house and he said, “Mommy is like magical hats” referencing the game he likes to play that has a bunny in it. We both wore our bunny ears when we left. We got in the car and he kept saying “New ear.” He told me he needed to go to his speech therapist. He told me how to drive the whole way there and kept saying “Pay attention.”

In the car, I went over the rules again about not giving anyone a hard time about clothes or hair so he could wear his swimsuit and go swimming this summer. I wanted to make sure he didn’t yell at my mom for what she was wearing if it wasn’t something he liked. On the drive there he said that we were going through winter seasonings. He said it’s cold today. I love his thought process.

When we got home our internet was out again. This time we had his new phone that was connected and my phone’s “toothpaste toothbrush Bluetooth” worked to connect to his tablet after a couple of tries. He was mostly calm about it and it was only off for about an hour.

He told my mom he shouldn’t upset his vision doctor and he was sorry. He screamed while he was there on Monday and licked her whiteboard. I know he goes back through his days and processes what he can but I was glad that he wanted her to know he was sorry.

He asked to wear the bunny ears to bed again. I told him absolutely. He went from never wanting to even look at a hat to being able to wear them now so I’m all for it. He fell asleep quickly and I hope that he sleeps better tonight. I am thankful for his growth and his beautiful connections. Be inspired, be joyful, be happy. 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.
