Sometimes I cry out to God, begging for one more answer. “Upper night” happened once again and Owen was ready to see his grandma. I told him repeatedly last night, he told me repeatedly last night that we would not be going to Grandma’s house if he didn’t sleep. He didn’t go to grandma's house.
My exhaustion is beyond exhausted. I gave up on crying early on. It just makes me more exhausted. For the most part, he has been calm but when he is exhausted his stimming and need for sensory input are in overdrive as well. He is loud, making an E sound as he plays with his toys or on his tablet, jumping or squishing his body into the smallest of spaces. Thankfully he is happy except for the missing his grandma part.
He lost his last baby tooth and he was very excited because the “pirate tooth fairy” was coming but I wasn’t prepared because I didn’t have a lollipop. He doesn’t like lollipops but that’s what he thinks he should get. He hid the tooth under the couch pillow and pretended to go to sleep. I somehow was able to take the tooth and put a new toy under the pillow and he was thrilled. We don’t wait until bedtime because that would cause too many complications. I asked him if he was disappointed because he didn’t get a lollipop. He said, “No yucky lick.”
It seems we’ve been eating all day. I can tell he is growing and wants all the foods. He wanted the leftover pizza. I told him that some people like pizza cold so he could try a bite and see if he liked it. One bite and the dude said, “Hot please.” I never take his words for granted. I know how hard he has worked to make those connections and I love when he can tell me exactly what he wants.
We played some music together and he sang some songs for me on his ukulele. I’m thankful for my little music man. He is doing an incredible job and has grown so much with it all.
I was ready for bed I think way before he was but bedtime happened and he fell asleep quickly. I truly hope he sleeps all night. We have a busy day planned for tomorrow and I hope we can do it all. We are going to church, then to a swimming lesson, and then to dinner with Grandma if it all works out. I’m thankful for his progress and the amazing smile he has. Find what makes you smile and go after your dreams. Smiles to all and donut daze!
