Well, the trend is sticking. Owen was up by two and that was that. He had too much on his mind with his days ahead. He immediately wanted his tablet and to check if we were going to church. I told him that we wouldn’t be going if he didn’t go back to bed. That’s when the screaming started.
I tried to sleep in between the times he came back from his room but we were pretty much up at this point. I was thankful I was feeling OK just tired from the no sleep. I continuously have a rollercoaster stomach but I’m not feeling horrible with it. I was able to eat small snacks all day but my favorite was the mashed potatoes. Everything else didn’t taste great but I was thankful for what I could eat.
Owen asked about church many times but I told him that we couldn’t go because I wasn’t going to drive being this sleepy. He didn’t completely understand but he knew we were not going. His focus was on his schedule and holding on to it as much as possible. I tried to explain to him that he would see his teacher again on Tuesday but he still wanted to confirm if he was going back to his old school. I pray that each vacation day will get easier for him to understand and he will feel more confident that he is going to be at the middle school.
Food was a big focus for my sweet baby O. He ate a lot and I guess when you start at two in the morning you can get a lot of food in. I’m thankful he was at least calm for most of our day. He wanted to have lots of conversations with me about his people and that always makes me happy. He asked Siri to translate his friends’ names into other languages. He kept asking when he would see them all again. He sure loves his people.
As bedtime approached he kept talking about the outfits he would wear and what others would be wearing over the next week. He was very talkative but I was praying that he was still calm enough to fall asleep quickly. He wants to go see his grandma tomorrow but I told him he has to sleep all night. I am praying that happens for both of us.
Even though we were both tired we had a good day and the conversations were the highlight of my day. I have waited for these days when his words flow a little more freely and he can express what he wants to say. I’m thankful for each and every word that he says. Celebrate your little accomplishments because they truly lead to the biggest of victories. Smiles to all and donut daze!
