Thankfully Owen slept until almost five. He was on high alert and wanted me awake and as alert as he was. I wasn’t quite there. He screamed his displeasure. He wanted milk and for me to get coffee. For that I was thankful.
I told him since he wasn’t feeling well I was going to cancel his appointments and he said, “No crying.” He is starting to get the connection to why he can’t do something but it still breaks my heart. All I can say is I’m so glad I got him in on Friday to start his medicine.
He ate a little more and thankfully drank all day long. He knew that Grandma was going to pick us up for my appointment. He was very excited about this but also kept telling me that we would come straight home. They stayed in the car while I went to my appointment. He was happy to see her.
He listened to a video slowed down that was singing about it being nap time. He could have fallen asleep if he would have let himself. “Blow your nose,” he said and then wanted a tissue. He didn’t technically blow it but he wiped it which is absolutely one of the hugest steps for my sweet baby O. These are the life skills that help lead to his independence. I am so proud of him for asking and doing it on his own.
Owen keeps saying he wants a dog. He has asked me every day since he got sick. I asked him why he wanted a dog. He said so it would lay down with him. I’ve tried over the years to have him around more animals but he didn’t want to spend a lot of time with them. He recently has been spending more time with our cats and wants them to be next to him. I see a dog in our future and I’m very excited about it.
He hadn’t seen his best friend since October but he sat talking about him and what he would be wearing when they saw each other again. He said he would get to choose what he wanted to wear and then said we have to be kind to everyone. I know he misses his friend and I hope they are in the same school and class next year. It would make Owen so incredibly happy.
He keeps telling me to order Bob Evans. He said, “Mommy eat it.” I told him we would eat it tomorrow when he was feeling better. He told me he had a cold and he was sick. As much as it hurts that he is sick I am so thankful for his words and his connections. Bedtime did not take long at all. I know he is exhausted and this momma is too. Keep the prayers coming. Laughter is the best medicine and being able to make Owen laugh before he went to bed made my heart happy. Let your heart song be filled with laughter and joy. Smiles to all and donut daze!
