Owen woke around two and that was that. I slept when he wasn’t having his moments. It was interesting. In the middle of the night yes seems to mean no to him and no means scream louder but he was calmer as the morning went on and very ready for an incredible day. I’m trying to stay focused on the good stuff.
He asked me at two o’clock in the morning if we were going to church. Yes was my reply. There was a scream with it. I told him to go back to bed. Tablet, bed, church, scream, seemed to be the order but I think he mixed it up a little with asking if our friend was going with us. The answer was yes but the screams kept coming. I told him that he could go back to bed at any point with his tablet and let me go back to sleep so he could go to church. This also got a scream. I was cranky and more than tired by the time the sun rose but we had big plans and we’re heading to church.
He was excited for his day and I tried to keep it moving forward. He had a lot on his mind. He played his ukulele a lot this morning and was singing all on his own. That makes my heart sing. He used to only do it when I was in the room so to hear him pick up his ukulele and play whatever he wants is wonderful.
We got ready and we picked up our friend for church. He was so excited to have her with us and to go to our church. He loves inviting people and that makes my heart full. We went to Cracker Barrel afterwards and he did great. He ate almost all of his blueberry pancakes and ate all three strips of bacon. He told the waitress, “I want chocolate milk please.” I also had him tell her he wanted blueberry pancakes. When she asked about bacon he said yes. He did a great job at lunch and when he was getting loud or hyper our friend sang the ABC song quietly right to him and he stopped what he was doing to listen. She is so incredible with him. We took her home and they were “sitting in the trees” as he calls it before we left.
We came home and I could tell he was exhausted. He was mostly calm for the rest of the evening and only had a few moments that didn’t go according to plan. He is extremely excited for his week ahead and I am thankful. I pray he sleeps tonight and has a great week ahead. Let the sunshine remind you of the greatness of the day. Never give up on the hope for tomorrow. Smiles to all and donut daze!
