He has been so excited about playing on his laptop. It is part of our new morning ritual. He has been using the website ABCmouse. It has been huge progress for him. I remember when he was younger it was too difficult for him to understand.
He was very concerned about not going back to school until Wednesday. Between the holiday and then a teacher work day he will be out of routine both days. Plus, there is supposed to be a big storm heading our way so who knows if we will get all the snow they are predicting and this may cause him to be out another day. Being out of routine is hard, adding an extra day out will be even harder.
When he came home the dude was hungry. He is for sure growing. He was eating his snack and requesting his dinner at the same time. He requested fish sticks tonight. We will have cottage cheese and fried okra which he also requested.
He knows he is not going to his grandma’s house tomorrow because they have plans. He talked to me about that every few minutes. He was talking about going bowling so we will see but I hope that he will at least sleep through the night since he is not going to see his grandma tomorrow.
I wish he could settle and realize that our schedules change. I talked to his doctor about it last week and we are going to work on a new regimen and focus on each day with how his routine is going. He has so much anxiousness and anxiety from everything not being exactly as he needs it. The screaming is what gets me.
The hardest part is the hardest part. Each day I remind myself to breathe and I talk to him about focusing on what we can control. He finished his bath and he attempted to put his clothes on again. I try to focus on the good stuff. That’s what I keep telling myself.
Each day is a gift. I remind myself of this and Owen’s big smile. Find what inspires you. Remember to be brave in the moments before you and you will come out with the victory. Smiles to all and donut daze!
