My day was a little rougher than yesterday but thankfully I was still able to eat. Owen was ready for first breakfast as soon as he got out of bed. I’m thankful he is a great eater. He listened well this morning and did everything I asked him to do so we could get ready to go and wait for the bus.
We didn’t have to wait quite as long for the bus but I hope that they can get the times better soon. He was so excited to see the bus turn the corner. He did a little better today about not being in his spot and he wasn’t upset when then came around the opposite direction again. I am so incredibly thankful for his growth and how far he has come.
When he came home on the bus I could tell he was talking to them about the days of the week and he was telling them he would see them on Friday. I hope that once he gets a few more weeks under his belt he will feel more secure in his routine. I am thankful for the bus people and how patient and kind they are.
He got another good report today. That makes me happy. I am so glad he is embracing this year and starting to understand all the changes that are happening. He is making huge strides in understanding and comprehension of what we talked about.
I had to go get my medicine and he knew exactly what we needed to do. He always comes home and wants to change right away but I had been waiting all day for them to fill my prescription. He left his clothes on, ate his snack, and then told me we had to go to the “drive-thru for mommy’s medicine.” He told me it would make me feel better and my heart just exploded with glee. He truly has such an amazing understanding of this all now.
When we got home I fixed dinner and he ate every bit of it. He talked to me about me getting a buzz cut and he started watching a video he loves about kids going to get haircuts. Once again I was so proud of him for how far he has come. I told him I would be getting one very soon and he said, “Mommy get a buzz cut.” I asked him if he was fine with it and he repeated it back to me again.
I pray daily for Owen’s understanding and each day I look at these moments and I see incredible growth. He is handling so many new things and I can tell that he is comprehending these moments. He is my greatest gift and every day I am thankful for what he has taught me.
He is very much looking forward to another day at school and hopefully, he will embrace each day with more understanding as his routine becomes a little more set in stone. His smile and laughter were exactly what I needed to end our day. He wanted to play games with me and we talked about his day. It’s just what this momma’s heart needed.
Bedtime came quickly for both of us. Each day is a gift. Some days may be a little rough around the edges but it is the amazing joy he brings me that I always know it will be fine. Let the joy bring you the calm in any of the storms you are feeling and tomorrow will be a better day. Smiles to all and donut daze!
