Sleeping all night is not a requirement I suppose but it sure would be nice. Owen heard me get up and I knew there was no going back to sleep at that point so I started my coffee and got his breakfast ready. He was very calm though and happy about going to school.
I went back to sit in my bed and he came to me to get his tablet. He made sure I was staying put and he returned to his bed with his tablet. I heard him in his room laughing. His laugh is always one of my favorite moments of our days. After a while, he came to eat his breakfast. When he was done he came to sit with me and more laughter happened.
I love those mornings when he is so connected to his day. He told me what he was doing and where he was going. He asked me if he could take his robot BeatBo to show his teacher and I told him yes. I made sure he knew that he could show it to her but then he had to put it back in his backpack.
I knew this was a big step for him to take something with him to school. Finding toys he likes is such a wonderful thing. We got ready for school and we went out to wait for the bus. He was so excited about getting on the bus and it wasn’t long before he was off to school.
I let his teacher know that I let him bring his robot with him and explained to her how big of a deal it was. I also wanted her to know that I told him he wasn’t allowed to have it out all day because I knew it would be a distraction. She let me know that he did wonderfully about it and listened when it needed to go back in his bag. I’m thankful it was a good experience for him and shows such growth.
I picked him up for his therapy and they said he had a good day at school. He wanted to drive by the burger boy statue he loves. I drove past the first exit he wanted me to go on so this upset him. I told him we needed to be calm and breathe through the moments. We still had plenty of time to go to it and I was going to the second exit but he had to remain calm. He started saying “pool pool” so I know he was making the connection to his behavior and it helped him become calmer. I was once again thankful for that.
He did great at therapy. I can tell he is starting to express more of his feelings and understands what they mean. I also love how he is using more words to describe what is happening. I am trying to get him to understand that he needs to use more descriptive words so that others will understand what he means like instead of saying “bus” to say “I want to ride the bus tomorrow.” He is doing amazing and I know he will get it.
I got a scam call and Owen started going through all the people it could be and I told him it was a scam. He said, “Hello scam goodbye scam Zack rat hat.” I’m not sure where it all came from but it was funny.
The night was filled with songs and games. He was a bit in sensory overload but was still much calmer as the night went on. I’m so very thankful for all of his growth. Today and always live life to the fullest. Find your motivation and be inspired to find joy in everything you do. Smiles to all and donut daze!
