Owen woke a little agitated with the day. He slept until almost six. I realized right before he woke up that his Spider-Man tablet had not charged at all for some reason and that is the one he likes to start with. I was also in the bathroom when he woke and not where he thought I should be. These were all moments to cause a big reaction to an already agitated Owen.
Thankfully by the time we got out to wait for the bus, he was much calmer and knew he was riding the bus home. He was in the right pants, only half right shirt because it was orange and white striped and not just orange, and he had his blue shoes on that he had completely flattened the heels but he wasn’t agitated.
He told me he wanted to give everyone a T-rex for their presents for his last day of school. I always ask him what he wants people to have. I feel like that will help him understand why we give people presents and that giving is something you do from your heart. I’m not quite sure what he has in mind to do with them but he is excited about it.
Bowling was not in his deck of cards for the day. He decided that he wanted to go to the train depot but I knew that would just lead to moments because it would cause more meltdowns. I told him we could go by it tomorrow after we went for his sensory therapy. He had gotten off the bus, told me we were staying home, and that he would be on summer break on Friday. He immediately changed and that was that. No more talk of the train depot or bowling. Maybe we will go bowling on Friday.
The night was a rollercoaster of words. He is working through the fact that school will be over on Friday. I suppose I am too. He will be off for a week and then go to summer school for three weeks. He talks a lot about going to his new school in August because he will get to see some of his friends there. This makes me happy.
I’m praying for a great summer and that each day we can continue to make progress. I’m thankful for his growth and all the connections he is making. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Let the world inspire you and know that you can be the change you want to see. Smiles to all and donut daze!
