When your phone autocorrects “hello” to “zzz…” it might be onto something. However, with that being said let’s just go ahead and celebrate that one of us slept all night long. I somewhat got more sleep but it is always one thing or another that wakes me up and I always think I hear Owen. He was so happy he was going to get to go to church since he slept all night. I was thankful for that too.

He repeatedly told me it was his choice not to go to the Special Olympics tomorrow but he might go next year if his best friend goes. This boy was a’thinking. All day long he talked about his “best friend” that he never gets to see. I am hoping next year they will be back at the same school and they will be able to see each other. He wants him to do everything with him and today was one of those days that he wanted to see his best friend. He has a hard time looking at pictures but today he was able to pull up the pictures of them together last Halloween and he was so happy. This happened all day long.

He goes back to the dentist in November for another checkup and he said he would be cranky then so he has to see her. I tell him if he doesn’t feel good or his teeth hurt are times when he can go to the doctor or dentist unless it is for a checkup so now he tells me all the time he is cranky so he can go to see them. I’m thankful he loves going to them and doesn’t get upset when he has to go.

We got ready for church and he was so excited about going. He talked all about his friend and not going to the Special Olympics tomorrow. We had a nice time at church and I was excited to meet some new friends. After church, we picked up his requested lunch of Wendy’s since he didn’t want to eat the leftover roast beef and then headed home.

The afternoon and evening were nonstop talk from my sweet baby O. He kept telling me he was going to show me videos he knew I didn’t like. He has found every video I think about pulling teeth, eyeballs, and anything else a teenager thinks will be funny to watch his mom squirm. He also continued his talk about not going tomorrow, seeing his best friend, and how he should act at therapy. It would look at his friend’s picture and tell me he was sad and my heart hurts he can’t see him.

“You are laughing like a boy,” he said to me, laughing hard as he said it. I wasn’t even laughing which I guess made it even funnier to him. Bath time and bedtime quickly became one. His prayer tonight was “Thank you God for prayer. It answers. Amen.” I always tell him God answers prayers. I love his thought process. Let today be done and tomorrow you start a brand new day. Let it be beautiful and amazing just like you. Smiles to all and donut daze!

    I'm Lynn Browder. Owen's Mommy. The best moments in time are when I get to see the smile on his face and that giggle come from his heart.
