Thankful the sleep train is sticking with us. Owen slept until almost six. I was up way earlier than that but still slept through the night. We had a very full day ahead so I was thankful for the sleep. He woke in a great mood. I haven’t seen him this excited in a while. I asked him what he was doing today and he told me he was going to school, music, and see his eye therapist. He made sure I knew he was riding the bus to school. We got ready and went outside to wait for the bus. He was so interactive with me and happy. He was telling me all kinds of things and asking me to have Siri translate numerous phrases into several languages. When he saw the bus he was smiling from ear to ear. It makes me so happy to see him smile. I went to pick him up and his teacher said he had a great day. He wanted his tablet. I asked him if he knew where it was and he said, “at home in the living room.” We got to the therapy place and he did great. It was a new place for him and he walked in like he owned the place and turned off the lights. If only I had a cup of coffee I would have felt like we were home. He did great with the music therapist. He was a little stuck on the blue pants but thankfully he didn’t have a meltdown. He played several songs with her on the ukulele and they used drumsticks. He also sang songs. He likes to repeat words and songs but he has great attention to detail. I’m thankful for this opportunity for him and I know that he will do amazing. After we were done we came home for a little bit and then we went to vision therapy. He got his new glasses that he picked out. He had an incredible session with the doctor. He was following through on activities he couldn’t complete before and he tried really hard with all of the exercises. He was able to count the objects on the board without having to go directly to them. Plus he didn’t count over the number that was on the board. He stopped at the number four and that was a huge step. We came home and he played his harmonicas and read one of his books with me a couple of times. The quick version and the quicker version but I figured since he was reading a book he chose he could read it how he wanted to. This dude is also growing again. His dinner was gone fast and he wanted more. I’m thankful for this amazing day and all of his incredible progress. I can’t wait to see what the future holds. Tomorrow we are off to another therapy after he gets home from school. He is ready and excited. Each day is a beautiful gift and the melody plays strong in my heart. Cherish the moments of awe and amazement. The little things will give you those moments you seek. Smiles to all and donut daze!
