I slept better last night than I had in a while. There’s so much on my mind lately but I’m focusing on the good stuff. And part of the good stuff was Owen slept all night and woke up happy. He knew he was going to church and that was a great thing.

I can tell he is processing his words. As the morning went on he hadn’t asked about any of the days ahead or repeated his words. He said, “You know the answer” and then followed that with “five minutes” so I could tell he was thinking through how and what he was saying. I feel like he can make more connections to what the words mean and maybe that is helping him too.

While he was eating his breakfast I stood over him and kept kissing the top of his head with a big smooch sound. He kept giggling and had a huge smile on his face. I stopped and he made a big smooch sound and said, “One more again.” I quickly kissed the top of his head again and he laughed harder. To say the least, he got several more.

He was ready to get to church because he wanted to see his favorite people. He was calm the entire way there but he did mention that he wanted to see his teacher on Friday. I asked him when he was going to see his teacher and he said tomorrow. I then went through all the days of the week with him starting in the morning until when he would come home from school and included his therapies. He was very calm as he told me about his bus rides, days at school, and therapies. I hope by having him recite it that he would feel the need to repeat one particular moment in time as much.

After church, we got lunch and then headed to our yoga session. Owen absolutely loved and it helped me too. It was very relaxing for both of us. On the way home he said, “May I have yoga again please?” He was very much ready to go back again.

We got home and he ate a lot for dinner. The theme for the day was very calm. He took his bath and then went to bed without much fanfare. He is ready for his busy day tomorrow and to see more of his favorite people. I’m thankful for his big ole smile and his amazing heart for the people he loves. Love with all your heart and live your dreams out loud. 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.
