It was one thing after another today and Owen has moved on to April. I slept off and on last night. I started eating right away because my stomach was doing somersaults. I was not feeling as great as I was yesterday but still feeling better than I was.
Owen woke up at seven. I heard a noise and at first, I wasn’t sure what it was. Then more noises and I knew it was his caterpillar that his grandma hadn’t gotten him. He was walking around talking to it. He showed her two toys he had when he was much younger and we were able to find similar ones and she got them for him. He talked to the caterpillar throughout the day.
He spent the morning with his grandma riding around the city and visiting his favorite places. It is always interesting to me what he wants to see. He remembers details from when he was younger that is only now able to express. He will tell her what he wants to see and off they go on their adventures.
He has a random gas station that he wants to drive by, a school he has never attended, a church that he likes the parking lot, bridge flags, street signs, air conditioners, fire hydrants, and so many other things that I never imagined he would even know about. Between Google Earth, riding the bus, and riding in our cars I’m sure they are all fascinating to him for one reason or another.
After a couple of hours, I went to meet them and I got my medicine. I got inside and realized I left them in the car. I went out to the car and realized I left my keys inside. Got keys and got medicine and came back in. This was how the morning went.
He was going through which months he would be at school and stuck on April. I’m not sure how this has become an important month for him but if he wasn’t asking about summer break he was asking about April. I think he will be closer to accepting a schedule and seeing a calendar. I am going to ask his new teacher about ways for them to work with us on it so that maybe we could use an app or something else with his important days to help him understand more about a schedule.
Owen is amazing! We were on April so I asked him what day he started school and he said the 16th. I asked him what that day was hoping he would repeat it so he would work through it and not be on April. He said, “Ten and six.” At first, I didn’t understand and then I realized he was breaking it down doing math. This was an incredible moment for me. I’m so very thrilled.
By the end of the night we were still and April, I was feeling somewhat better but not as good as yesterday, and Owen knew that he was staying home tomorrow. Realizing changes are being made and accepting that changes are being made is difficult for everyone. Letting go and moving forward can be even harder but so much progress and connections were made today for both of us and I am thankful. Let today be your guide for tomorrow and accept the change. Smiles to all and donut daze!
