Some days the emotions hit harder and today was one of those days. All the words Owen had yesterday seemed to be sitting on the shelf today. He talked to me but it took a lot more effort for him and maybe he was more in a thinking mode. I suppose I was dealing with a lot more on my plate as well so maybe it was me. When one thing breaks it seems like everything breaks. And when one thing is hard everything is hard.
We slept until after five so that was good. He wanted to play on his tablet and went to the couch. He told me it was still nighttime and to go back to bed. I took my coffee and his advice and went back to bed.
It felt like a slow-moving morning but we got ready and went to wait for the bus. He talked about going to the pool when he got home. I figured since it was the pool most likely we would go but you still never know. He stood in his spot waiting for the bus and I can always tell when he sees it. His whole body changed and he quickly changed positions until he saw the top of the bus and then came barreling towards me as it turned the corner. Off he went to school. This makes my day.
The bus pulled up, I saw him talking to the bus driver, and then he jetted off the bus on a mission. “Pool pool,” he said. I asked him if he was ready to go to the pool and he said, “Yes.” No snack, bathing suit on, and we were out the door in ten minutes.
He wouldn’t stick his head under the water at all. There were a lot of people there and so many were jumping off the diving board. It made it harder for him because he wanted to do it. My emotions were right there with him. I was trying not to cry in the pool. He has a hard time even jumping off the ladder so there is no way he can jump off the diving board yet. I have to remember how far he has come.
I ordered our pizza and we had a few minutes until we could pick it up. He told me he wanted to go see the church. He told me all the directions on how to get there. It amazes me all the places he knows. We’ve never been there so maybe the bus has driven him by it. We then went and picked up our pizza. He ate three slices and enjoyed it all.
He reminded me we had to sleep tonight so he could go to his grandma’s tomorrow. He said if he was “upper night” he wouldn’t get to go. He told me he had to stay in bed so he could go. I told him that if he did stay up all night he was right we wouldn’t go tomorrow. I pray he sleeps tonight. I’m thankful for his progress and knowing he needs to sleep. Find your joy and let it be a ray of sunshine you can share. Smiles to all and donut daze!
