He was talking to me once again about all his friends at school. I love that he can explain things to me now. He couldn’t wait to get on the bus to see his teacher. I love how much work he is doing and accomplishing great things already this year.
He started talking about his days ahead. He knows his grandma is picking him up from school tomorrow while I go to my chemo infusion. He is beyond excited about it. I talked to him about letting his therapists decide what they want to wear and he has to give them kindness and grace so he can keep seeing them. He gets so upset again. We had worked through so much of this and he even wanted to wear shorts all the time instead of jeans but there are still people he expects to wear “blue pants.” I pray that he will try to focus on the exercises tomorrow and not their clothing.
When he got home he was still focused on his day ahead. I was able to distract him. We played some games and I sang songs until I got the look that I know means “Mom you don’t have a great voice.” He wanted to watch a movie with me but as soon as I got it ready he ran off to play and I couldn’t convince him to come back.
O has stayed calm all night except when I tried to wash his face. Oh how much he hates to have his face washed. He will turn in every direction so I miss the one spot I need to wipe off. I have tried using cold water, warm water, and everything else in between but it is the feeling he doesn’t like. I tell him I’m just trying to get him milk mustache and he tells me he wants to keep it.
His focus stayed on his day tomorrow but thankfully he was calm all night. Food was a big part of our time and he was happy to be suggested what he wanted once again. He sang in multiple languages and his giggles made my day. Find what makes you happy and know that you can move mountains with a smile. Smiles to all and donut daze!
