After a rocky start last night to the bedtime hour Owen slept all night. I’m not quite sure why he couldn’t fall asleep but he wanted his tablet and asked for it numerous times. He came to me and I told him that if he wanted his tablet we wouldn’t be going to church today. Thankfully sleep happened for both of us and we both slept until almost seven. I woke up several times but thankfully I wasn’t sick.
His focus was clear when he woke up. Tablet, church, and his teacher for tomorrow. Thankfully he was very calm and even though he was focused on those things he was talking to me about our day. Breakfast was the next topic of discussion and he once again wanted all the things I didn’t have. He settled on cereal and pancakes, asking for chicken after he ate his pancakes. I figure let him have what he wants because I know he will eat it.
My hair was up for debate again. He is very much ready for it to be long again. Red and green ponytails were the request but he also wanted me to have brown hair like him. It is amazing how much thought he puts into all of this. I know it is hard for him to process where my hair is and sometimes he can’t look at me. I pray a little harder in those moments.
We got ready for church and we headed out the door. His focus was once again very clear. He was ready to see his favorite people at church and he couldn’t wait to get there. I’m glad that he has made so many connections with people. It makes me happy to see his enthusiasm for going to church.
We got lunch on the way home and he started talking about his days ahead. He knows he is going to his music and vision therapies tomorrow. He went through what he hoped everyone would be wearing tomorrow. He was comparing the scrubs his pediatrician wears to what his vision doctor will now be wearing. He told me they both wear blue scrubs. We talked about being kind to people and letting them wear what they want or have to wear for their jobs. I keep praying for this connection to set in for him.
He wanted me to play a lot of his games with him and he was happy about that. He didn’t want me to sing but I’m used to it. Dinner was something he requested but he didn’t eat the fish quickly. He wanted to know again about when he would see his teacher. I’m thankful he has made this great bond with her already.
I was tired today but thankfully I wasn’t sick to my stomach. I pray for a good night for both of us so that Owen will have a great day at school and his appointments. I pray for my continued strength and healing. I’m in it to win and I am ready to be cured. I’m thankful for my sweet baby O’s incredible smile and it always makes my day. Focus on the good stuff and the rest will follow. Smiles to all and donut daze!
