Sleep was sporadic at best last night for me but fortunately, Owen slept most of the night but heard me when I got up to go to the bathroom. From his room, he kept saying “slept all night” and then “tablet tablet.” I told him it was still very early. He stayed in his room for about ten more minutes and then came to get his tablet. He said, “Back to bed” and off he ran with his tablet.
I fixed him some cereal and got his milk. He was in a great mood and his singing rang out through the house. He kept running to me to look up videos like he did when he was little. He goes through these circular moments of when he was younger and does exactly the same thing. He mentioned all of the things he wanted to do this week but was very happy he was getting ready for school.
“Chose your brown shoes yes,” he said when he came running to me after he put his shoes on. I won’t let him wear his flip-flop shoes to school because he won’t keep them on his feet but I let him decide what shoes he wants to wear.
I am thankful he has so many pairs he likes now. I remember the days when even trying to find one pair of shoes he would wear was difficult. The kind with laces had him pulling on them constantly trying to even them out. And every other kind was met with different outcomes so I feel very fortunate he has many that he likes.
Off to school, he went and in no time it seemed like he was back. He was in a good mood, waiting for Friday so he could go to the pool. I told him that as long as he continues to behave we will go on Friday. I love that he is realizing he can be rewarded if he behaves or helps with different activities.
He keeps pulling on my hair to make it longer but I feel like he has done great with the change. Tomorrow I am going to the doctor for my consultation on chemotherapy. It was supposed to be in July but they rescheduled it. I am glad to get all of this started and moving forward. I am also going to get another haircut to prepare Owen for the changes that will be happening.
I’m thankful for all the connections he is making and how he is starting to bring up other activities he wants to talk about. Each day we are faced with challenges but through those challenges, our biggest victories will come. Take time for you and make time for others. It will change your life. Smiles to all and donut daze!
