Thankfully we slept all night. Both of us. I call Owen my little planner and he was in full swing of planning for his days ahead. He was very happy to be going to school except he wanted to see more of his people.
He was full of words and actions this morning. He got up about the same time I did and then immediately went to the bathroom. He started talking to me about what food he wanted and that he was going to need his tablet for the ride to therapy. My little planner still in full swing.
He ate two waffles and a plate full of cereal before we got ready for school. He was hoping to see all his people but I explained that he wouldn’t be seeing them all today. He still keeps talking about his new school and his new tablet. I’m thankful he is happy about it but I’m hoping that he understands after the next couple weeks he will have the next month and a half before he goes to school.
We went out to wait for the bus and it’s like no matter what else is happening in the world his focus is full bus mode. He thought the bus would turn the corner but it goes to pick up the other kids first. A lady walked by with a beautiful dog and the dog stopped and sat near Owen. The lady talked to us but Owen’s focus was completely on the corner where the bus would be coming. The dog was so well behaved and I talked with the owner about the doodle breed. She gave me some great insight and the bus was almost there. They walked off and it made me start thinking about a dog again.
Owen got on the bus and I could tell he was doing his quick inspection of what everyone was wearing before he went to sit down and then off they went. I noticed his bus driver was wearing a hat that had the number 23 on it. It was a little reminder of my Grammy because that was her number. The little reminder of an amazing woman and how much she means to me.
I picked him up for therapy and I could hear him say, “Ride the bus home” as they came up the hallway. He had a great day and I could tell the aide was already figuring out my sweet baby O is a planner. She told him he would ride the bus home tomorrow and he told her “Have a good day.” We were off to therapy and he talked about all the days ahead but didn’t concentrate on today.
We got to therapy and he was very excited to go in. He has been much calmer this past week and I’m thankful for that. Each one of his therapists told me he did a good job and I’m so thankful for how much they have all helped my son.
We got a salad and pizza on the way home. He was so happy to go through the drive-thru and talk about Gino’s new sign. He told me that it had its mouth back and its lips. He told me the sign is now smiling again and the crane people did a good job. He was thrilled to be able to see their sign whole again. The owners are amazing and talked to us about the sign. They knew how much it meant to Owen and when it got destroyed by the terrible weather they knew he would be upset. I have always loved their pizza but they have golden hearts and that means the world to me.
The night went quickly and so did the pizza. My growing boy ate two slices before I could even think about it. Bedtime was not the favorite subject again but he was sure ready to go to school tomorrow. I can’t even imagine if he didn’t love school.
Each day the path we walk is different but each day we have a choice of how to let the path influence where we go. Find the happiness inside your heart and let your story tell the victory of your tomorrow. We can’t change yesterday but we can sure change tomorrow. I tell Owen every day he is amazing. Today he said, “I know.” Don’t ever forget you are amazing, know it. Smiles to all and donut daze!
