Owen slept until almost seven and so did I. He was pretty calm and talking about his day. He was excited because he was going to see his grandma and I was excited for him. When he came to me he said, “No upper night go to grandma’s.”
I told him last night that if he did get up and screamed at me he wouldn’t get to go. I also told him that if he got up it should be if he had to go to the bathroom or if he wasn’t feeling well otherwise he needed to stay in bed so he could go back to sleep. I’m not sure either happened but he didn’t come to me so I was pleased. I’m trying to explain that getting out of bed is something he can do but it’s how he handles it that is important.
He ate first, second, and then third breakfast before we got ready. I told him that we were going to take turns coming and going to Grandma’s house so he could choose which way we went or how we came home. It is extremely hard for him to take turns so I’m trying to find ways that we can work together on this. He handled great on the way there because it was all his decisions but on the way home we had to talk about mommy’s choices. He was at least calm about it but wanted to tell me which direction to go.
On the way home he said he wanted a pizza. I ordered it and we drove to a couple of his favorite places before we picked it up. He devoured it. I love how he is requesting more foods that he wants to eat. I know that he is trying new foods at school too.
He was very ready for church tomorrow. He told me he wanted to take his friends from school. I love how he is building these friendships and how he wants to include them in activities that he loves to do.
The night was calm. He played on his tablet and told me about all the videos that he wanted to watch but now have broken links to them. He amazes me with how much he stores in his mind.
I felt like today we made a lot of progress and he behaved when we were out doing different things. I pray he sleeps tonight. I’ve felt pretty good today but I am tired and I pray I sleep tonight as well. The next few days are generally a little bumpy after my chemo infusion so I am praying for these days ahead. I love hearing Owen sing and that is what gets me through my days. Sing a joyful noise and let it fill your heart with gladness. Smiles to all and donut daze!
