Hyper was the name of our game this morning and it was nonstop until he got on that bus. He had lots to tell me and he was making sure his day was in order. I wanted to make sure he didn’t miss it so I started looking early for the bus but it didn’t get there until about eight like usual. Before he could walk on the bus he had to repeat numerous times that he wanted to see his teacher tomorrow. I agreed with him so he would quickly get on the bus even though I wanted to go through with him that he would be seeing her today. Off they went.
He did great at therapy and was able to remain calm the entire time with both his therapists so he got a reward of driving to the depot. He started talking about how he behaved with his therapist and that he didn’t make me sad. I always tell him that I know it is hard for him and that if it is hard for him it makes it hard for me when he gets upset because of people’s clothing. I told him I was glad he had a good day and that was why we could drive by the depot and go to Wendy’s.
He was talking up a storm on our way home from driving by the depot and I was hoping it was not another snowstorm. He was telling me all the things he was expecting in the days ahead so I hope they all come true. He kept saying we needed a new blue house. I said why do we need a new blue house. He said to put it in the woods with marshmallow campfire. He had told me before we needed to go to the woods for a marshmallow campfire but the blue house part was new. I have said to him a couple of times over the last year or so that I wanted us to move to the woods but I haven’t mentioned it in a while.
I had my radiation markers appointment. It was a bit more emotional than I expected but it is one step closer to the end and I was thankful for where I was on this journey. We had a good night and for the most part, he was very calm. He took his bath and he was working through his words. He said, “Available watch it tomorrow” and I knew it was a new video of the person driving. He told me they were driving by the fire hydrant and he couldn’t wait. I love the joy he has in the little things. Find joy in the little things and watch how it makes your heart whole. Smiles to all and donut daze!
