Sleeping for one of us was amazing and the other one not so much but the day was great for both of us. Owen slept until after seven. It was a glorious thing. His mouth still seemed a little sore but better than it was yesterday. For this I was thankful.

Breakfast time seemed to fly by and he knew we needed to get started on our day. He didn’t listen to me when I told him we needed to get dressed but I finally convinced him it was time. When I told him to put his shoes on he put one sneaker on and one of his “summer sandals.” I told him he had to choose and then we finally were out the door.

Soccer was up first. He acted like he wanted to go but he kept asking if he was going to see his grandma. I had told him that he was going to see her on Monday hoping this would maybe convince him to stay longer at soccer. It did not. He went out to meet his friends, laid down on the field several times, kicked the ball some, and proclaimed he was done. Off to grandma’s, we went.

He stayed with his grandma for about two hours and then I picked him up for our drumming session at yoga. Our friends got to come with us and we all had an incredible time. I’m thankful for an instructor that is amazing with all of us. Owen didn’t want to do much drumming but he loved rolling around on the big yoga balls and asked several times about coming back tomorrow.

After yoga, we went to McDonald’s with our friends and talked more about all the fun we had. On the way home I asked Owen what his favorite part of the day was and he said yoga. I’m so glad he enjoyed it and is looking forward to it tomorrow.

Nighttime was filled with more food and laughter. His laugh carried through the entire house and that makes my day. He did not want to go to bedtime even though I let him stay up late. The screaming started and it became how to keep him calm but as soon as his head was on that pillow he was out.

I’m thankful for a good day. I was glad for an amazing time with our friends and laughter soothes the soul. Find what you love to do and go after your dreams. Today is the day to bloom. Smiles to all and donut daze!

    I'm Lynn Browder. Owen's Mommy. The best moments in time are when I get to see the smile on his face and that giggle come from his heart.
