We’ve been up since around three-ish. Some really loud noises woke us up. I’m assuming that’s what woke Owen too. He was happy the minute he woke up and was very talkative.
He kept coming to me and showing me his tablet. He wanted me to see different videos he was watching and then he wanted me to play his games with him. He was describing the cartoon animals on the screen in great detail. It always makes me happy to hear his words. I still wait for the day he can explain to me more about his emotions, hopes, and dreams.
I had put his headphones on the table for him but he didn’t put them on right away. We were getting ready for the bus and I told him to go grab his headphones. He couldn’t find them but we had to get out to the bus. I thought maybe he moved them somewhere else and we didn’t have time to look for them. When I came back in they were on the tablet but he didn’t see them because he put his toy over them and it all blended together.
He has a hard time seeing things when they are right in front of him if it is not completely obvious and still sometimes that is hard for him. Giving him directions is something that is still a work in progress but he has come so far. If I say to him “Go to the living room and look on the shelf” he may run to his bedroom or sit on the couch. It is too much for him to process. It can also upset him or send him into a meltdown when he does not understand the steps.
He was very calm and talkative all night. He was talking about his days ahead still but handling everything calmly. I’m trying to make him answer in more complete sentences or at least more words than saying one thing repetitively and expecting me to answer each time. He is getting better with being more descriptive and I can tell they are working with him at school on this.
It didn’t take long for him to fall asleep. He was practically falling asleep during his bath. I pray for a better night's sleep for both of us. His laughter was contagious today and his smile was even brighter. Enjoy the little things and know they will make your heart the happiest. Smiles to all and donut daze!
