“Upper night” happened. Owen was awake around two. I’m not sure why this happened but there we were. I didn’t even try to convince him to go back to sleep. He talked a good talk about it being nighttime but he was awake.
You would think you could accomplish a lot when you are up all night but it seems like that isn’t something that ever happens. I always try to go back to sleep but the noise level is pretty loud even though I tell him to turn down his tablet.
I fixed him a snack. I suppose I could call it breakfast. He ate it all and wanted more. He is definitely growing. He has been eating a lot more lately and that seems to be increasing his new food requests as well.
We got ready and went outside to wait for the bus. He jumped up to see the bus come around the corner. I love watching him do things like that. Jumping for a purpose like this doesn’t happen often. He jumps while he is stimming or processing something but not necessarily for fun or to check something out like this. The bus came around the corner and he came running to me. Before he could walk to the bus he wanted to talk again about it being spring break next week and then off he went.
When he came home from school before he even got off the bus I saw his school tablet in his hands. I wanted to cry right then. Having his school tablet at home only brings more problems into the mix and it’s not like I can say it is not here. It is hard for him to handle having it at home. He loves playing on it but it is one more thing to cause meltdowns when it doesn’t do what it is supposed to and I don’t know how to fix the app of his password. I also knew this would change our Friday. Swimming was out and the tablet was in. That part I was technically fine with since he was up all night he would be cranky at the pool if there were too many people around.
The night seemed to fly by. Thankfully he was pretty calm and exhaustion won quickly for bedtime. He knows that he is not going to his grandma’s tomorrow because he is going several times next week. He asked to go bowling so when it opens we should be going unless he changes his mind. Hopefully, sleep will happen since it didn’t last night. His laugh is what makes my heart whole. Be the change you want to see in the world. Smiles to all and donut daze!
