It’s the Fourth of July, Independence Day in so many ways. I am trying to teach Owen those important life skills to help him develop habits for his future. It seems like we worked a lot on those today.
He slept all night, calm for the morning, and calm for the day mostly. He was asking about bowling and swimming for tomorrow. I told him we could go swimming if there was no rain. I told him that I wouldn’t know until tomorrow if it was going to rain. He still insisted on asking me every few minutes if we were going to go swimming tomorrow. I told him if we didn’t go swimming we could go bowling but he still wanted to know constantly. This is one of the things I’m trying to teach him that sometimes we don’t have answers until we get to the moment.
He was full of laughter again, and we spent a lot of time working on his tablet. He asked for an app and it took me forever to get it installed on his tablet. Between how complicated the process for the app itself was and his continuing to click on the screens when I wasn’t ready delayed the process even longer. This didn’t make him happy but I couldn’t make him understand that he can’t click on something until it is time for it to process. I finally told him that he could play with his other tablet until I could get it ready otherwise I would not be able to install the app and off he ran to play.
He didn’t want to go anywhere today and he knows that he doesn’t want you to go to soccer on Saturday. He does however know he wants to do yoga again and he very much wants to go swimming. I am hoping there is no rain tomorrow so we can go.
He talked to me about getting my hair cut again. I told him I was going to get it cut on Saturday. He mentioned the length of it and then pulled on it to try to make it longer. He then said buzz cut so I know he has been thinking about it. I try to talk to him about it all the time so that hopefully he will embrace the change.
Nighttime came and he continued to talk about the pool. I hope it doesn’t rain tomorrow so we can go. I’m thankful he was mostly calm and we had a great day. Tomorrow is a brand new day. Rejoice throughout the day and celebrate your victories as they come. Smiles to all and donut daze!
