The sleep all night trend is in full swing thankfully. Owen woke up with happier energy than yesterday. I would like to say calm but there are too many happy things happening in the next few decades that time is of the essence for us to talk about all of the details. And that we did. “Owen not going anywhere today,” is the theme and I will honor it after trying a few favorites that he does not want to do. Sleep, who needs it? I sure don’t.
He was concerned about what he was doing tomorrow but I told him that he would know what was happening tomorrow just like I would know. I explained that he should be going to grandma’s house but if the weather changes or something else comes up then we would have to make different plans. He is constantly wanting to confirm his plans and then moves on as soon as he is at that destination.
The morning went on and he was upset because I said we were staying home because he wanted to stay home and he asked many times, so I then asked if he wanted to go somewhere and he said no. I then said we will stay home and he replied “Owen too upset.” The countdown to school is on and he is beyond ready for it to happen. He cannot wait to get on the bus to see his people and then get to school.
“I will big tell you, he said to me because he wanted to know if Grandma was bringing him home next Saturday. Next Saturday I told him it comes after tomorrow and I can’t even confirm tomorrow. This was then a thirty-minute continued conversation of me trying to figure out how to distract him only for him to return to it again and again throughout the day.
The “bump loud” was in full force for him. He was very excited about “eating together tomorrow.” Amazing is the word for that. For so many years attempting a dinner together whether it be at home or at a restaurant led to many meltdowns for him and more tears from me. My heart would break with how hard it was for him.
He started asking around four for his night supplements so he could go to bed. I asked him if he felt sick and he said no. I told him he could lie down anytime he wanted. I said, “Do you want to go to sleep so you can go see grandma?” He quickly replied, “Yes.” Days over for the win. He cannot wait until Monday to go back to school. Routine is everything.
He was sitting on the couch singing several Christian songs and told me he wanted to “sing on Bible Center Church stage.” I told him I knew he would one day and for him to keep singing. I always tell him to sing loud and sing proud. I remind him that he can do anything he sets his mind to.
“Owen eat Diehl’s dinner with grandma and mommy in Nitro Nitro go to Diehl’s dinner tomorrow,” he said. I do believe he wants his days gone and is ready for school. I went through all of what he will be doing between tonight and bus time on Monday and he was so happy. He ran through the house clapping.
Nighttime could not come soon enough for my sweet baby O and me. There were so many behaviors today that I had to redirect and get him to focus on other things. I tried not to focus on those moments and instead on hearing his voice sing out to heaven. I know each day has been a challenge for him and he is ready to get back to school. Victory is in sight and I can say that for so many things for him. Let your victories shine bright and fuel your smile. Smiles to all and donut daze!
