Owen woke very early. He wanted to get his day started and get to school. He sounded a little snotty but he was full of energy. I always check his temperature because he gets sinus infections pretty quickly but it was normal. I figured maybe it was allergies. I slept OK last night but I woke up so thankful I was done with radiation.
He was listing off different people and telling me where he sees everyone. It amazes me all the conversations we are starting to have and I’m so thankful. His teacher sent a card home that had a scanner code on it to take him to a website for his schoolwork. He loves it. He wants to get as many wrong answers as he does the right ones because he loves to hear the “boing” noise and laughs hysterically when he hears it.
He uses the camera on his tablet to scan the card. I usually do it for him but I’m trying to get him used to it. He has a hard time taking a picture of the card because it is too hard for him to look at the screen. He is afraid he is going to see his picture instead of something else. He will close his eyes trying to focus on the right spot so the link will come up. We have been working on this for days and he was finally able to do it himself.
We got ready and went out to wait for the bus. He asked about his “Birthday party” at school and I hated to break the news to him again but I told him his party was last week. He quickly changed directions when he saw the bus coming and off he went to his last day of school before spring break.
He came home with a runny nose and it was red probably from rubbing it. He told me his “nose is coughing.” He also wanted me in a dress immediately because we were staying home and not going anywhere. He was also not a fan of the pants I was wearing. I snapped him out of it with the “swimming suit” card and it stopped him from yelling at me and going into a meltdown.
He was asking all his anxious questions about the week ahead since it was spring break and then the question about summer school came up. I told him they canceled it. He said, “Go in July.” I said they canceled all of it. He said, “I go to high school this summer.” He wanted to find a way for me to say yes he would be going to summer school. I found out today that instead of almost six weeks of all day classes they have now put it six days spread over seven weeks and they were only going to be half days. I won’t be sending him because that will cause him more stress and anxiety. My heart is breaking in a million pieces over this decision the school board has made. I will be writing a lot of letters once I can process it all.
He is becoming quite the conversationalist. He told me that “Mommy doesn’t like me sick hurts her feelings makes her sad.” He told me without me saying anything that he wanted Bob Evans in the morning. He then told me he wanted our friends to take him to Bob Evans next week. He asked numerous times about seeing his grandma tomorrow and I told him most likely he wouldn’t since he wasn’t feeling well and he said, “That breaks my heart.” I told him it breaks my heart too and he said I need to ride the elevator to see his doctor on Monday. I told him I would take him if he was still feeling poorly. He also told me that he was cranky and didn’t feel good so he needed to go to his friend’s house.
It didn’t take much to convince him it was bedtime and he was out quickly. Boy, oh boy has my sweet baby O grown. I see incredible progress and I know that he will be making even bigger steps in the days to come. Never give up on tomorrow. Positive words and positive actions equal a positive life. Smiles to all and donut daze!
