It had rained all night and there was flooding in all the areas around us. Snow came after that. I pray that it stops. It breaks my heart for those affected by this. There is no way Owen could even begin to understand what is happening.
“Music instrument woman,” he said referring to me. I was sure what he meant since we hadn’t been talking about music nor was I making him sing or play any. He references things and it could be something he was thinking about or trying to understand. It could be years in the making too since he doesn’t forget a thing.
Once again, he was in my bed, wanting me to be with him but giving me no room to sit. He had his tablet turned up as loud as it could be, but as soon as I got a text message, he told me to turn my phone down. It’s amazing how other sounds always bother him.
He said, “Yeah, right.” Again, I was not sure why he was saying it, but I love it when he uses words and phrases that he has heard. He once again took over my bed. I went to the bathroom, and he screamed for me to come back. At that point, I was pretty sure that I would cancel his therapies tomorrow. He is very clingy and wants everything to go a certain way.
He told me earlier he wanted Bob Evans but as the morning went on he said he wanted me to get it on Tuesday. However, right at bedtime, he told me he wanted “gravy chicken and the potatoes.” I knew it was one more effort to get out of bedtime. When he went to bed he screamed from his room for me to give him another hug. I went back in and repeated my words I had said so many times already, “we don’t scream at each other.” He replied, “Sorry Mommy I love you you love my laugh” and he did his fake laugh. I told him I loved him too. I’m thankful for his growth and I hope tomorrow he feels much better. Always be you. Know that you are amazing and can move mountains when you need to. Smiles to all and donut daze!
