I slept until about four but thankfully I fell back asleep and slept until a little after five. It wasn’t long until Owen came around the corner and started talking to me about his day. I love mornings when he wants to talk about everything before he even asks for his tablet. He was very calm as he went through all his questions.
We had a good morning full of conversations and only a few moments where he was upset or pushing buttons. He always asks me to buy coins, outfits, or accessories for games he is playing on his tablet but I tell him he has to play to win. Plus, when he is playing a game he doesn’t always finish it and sometimes closes out the game right in the middle or just to close all the lives. He thinks it’s funny but I try to get him to understand that is why I will never spend money on it.
He was off to school and handled it all beautifully. He has adjusted to wearing jeans and pants even though he still asks if he can wear shorts every day. When I picked him up from school his teacher said he had a good day after a few minor moments. His screaming is becoming more of a way for him to voice his opinion about everything and it is something that we work on constantly.
I tell him all the time we have to be nice to people and yelling at them is not something we should do. The teenage years are fast approaching and I don’t want this to be a constant as he gets older so I want him to focus on how to handle his emotions.
We were off to therapy. We talked on the way there about enjoying himself and not concentrating on what they were wearing. I told him that if he screamed at them or tried to hit them he would not be able to come back next week. I reminded him that he was amazing and he needed to focus his energy on the fun they were going to have. I want him to understand that I know it is hard for him when he is expecting them to wear certain things but he still can’t let that affect the fun they should be having and what he is learning.
Thankfully he did great today. There were a couple of things but he moved on. His one therapist talked to him about what she would be wearing next week so he would be prepared it wasn’t what he wanted. We will work on that over the next week so he remembers. I told him I was proud of him.
On the way home he yelled at me. I reminded him we have to be kind to each other. A few minutes later he said, “I’m sorry Mommy no yelling.” I keep reminding him that he is amazing and he can do anything if he sets his mind to it.
He was very calm all night long. I see incredible growth in him and I pray that he will continue to focus more on having fun than being concerned about blue pants. I love hearing him laugh and that brings joy to my heart. The story of tomorrow has not been written. It can be the most beautiful story you have ever been a part of. Make tomorrow matter. Smiles to all and donut daze!
