Not much sleep happened here but calm took over after hours of Owen being awake. He wasn’t that upset just up early and very hyper about what was happening. The roads with packed ice and snow are making everything louder so he came to tell me he heard it. I can only imagine what all is going through his brain. He misses his people and routine.
I woke up with a bad headache. I knew it was a lack of sleep and the change in pressure from the weather. Owen wanted to talk about everything and I wanted to talk about nothing. This morning was one of those days that I was thankful he made the connection when I started telling him that he was going to have to be patient with Mommy and give me some time because I didn’t feel good at all. I remember many times when this wasn’t even something he could begin to process but now he is starting to get what I mean. He still refers to my medicine box and that when I finish taking medicine I’ll be better. He still talked to me and asked me questions but he didn’t scream at me and sat down when I asked him to wait. Those were truly big steps. After I got some coffee in me and ate my bananas that he is constantly excited to throw them in the trash for me I was feeling much better.
I told him he was going to be taller than me very soon. He said, “I will be the tallest tree.” He wanted Alexa to say “tallest tree” in Arabic. Then he started singing holiday Wednesday holiday Thursday holiday Friday grandma’s Saturday church Sunday and his teacher on Monday and listed everyone else he was going to see. He made a little jingle out of it.
They are off school again tomorrow but he is handling this better than he has before. He is repeating himself and asking lots of questions but he isn’t crying for hours or screaming all day long. We didn’t eat quite as much today as we did the rest of the week but we still managed to eat quite a bit. I’m hoping that we can get out tomorrow and at least do something but we might get more snow.
Bedtime was like a revolving door that had met the Wild West saloon swinging doors and I had to carry a pizza while trying to recite the alphabet backward, singing in an opera voice and hopping on one foot. He kept coming to me to ask me several questions that he already knew the answer to. Thankfully sleep finally won and I’m praying he sleeps all night. He is making amazing connections. The highlight of my day was when he randomly looked at me and said, “I love you.” Be inspired even on your hardest days because remember you have survived it and that strength will help you thrive. Smiles to all and donut daze!
