(No HBOT) More Engaged Today

The evening started horrific. Jonathan woke up at 2:30am, came to our bed and could not fall back to sleep until 6am. Needless to say that I could not sleep either and I am dead tired. He moved around a lot, was fixated on the clock on the cable box, went to the bathroom several times. I asked him if he had a stomachache and he said no. He rocked quite a bit. But he didn't hum. I realized that he had not hummed on Sunday either.

He finally fell asleep as it was time for me to get up and shower. When I left the house, he was still sleeping. I checked his backpack in the afternoon and had no notes indicating that he was strange or tired. So he must have had a normal day.

Abuita picked him up early and took him to a playground. When he got home, he saw me and came running towards me and screaming "hi mommy". That was nice to see after 4 days of feeling ignored. He immediately asked for his Leapster toy. I tried to ask him how his day went, but he didn't want to answer. I was able to get him to tell me that he didn't eat lunch.

When my brother arrived with his kids, Jonathan did not acknowledge them. When they left about 30 min later, again, Jonathan did not say bye. He kept playing with his Leapster. It ran out of battery and he came to tell me to change them. We didn't have any batteries and in the past he would have had a meltdown. This time, we told him that we would get them tomorrow and he was ok with the answer and told me he wanted to play with with Disney.com on my PC. He seemed more connected today. When he was playing with Disney.com, he was telling what was going on. Later, he told me about a story he read today "the hungry caterpillar" and told me what happened to the caterpillar. He was definitely a bit more social today than in the past few days.

Today he ate very well. He had split peas soup (blended) and chicken with rice. I am hoping he sleeps all night. I need a good night sleep.
