Thankfully Owen slept all night and I mostly did. It was a much better start to the day. He was in a great mood, talking about the blue and red zones of his unplugged clock that was actually plugged in. His words and actions always amuse me when he tells me something he knows is wrong. It’s like he wants to see what I will fall for but I don’t know if he completely gets that concept. He sometimes seems to be one step ahead of me though.
The bus app once again wasn’t working. It makes Owen more anxious to go out early but I don’t want him to miss the bus just in case they are early one day. He was super excited because he was going to see the bus aide. I said, “You will see her in a few minutes” and he said, “I want to see her in a few seconds.” I think he is starting to get this time thing down. The bus turned the corner and he was off. I’m thankful for how much he loves the bus and how wonderful they are with him.
I was able to sleep for a couple of hours this morning after Owen went off to school. The last few days completely wore me out so it was good to catch up on some sleep. When I picked him up from school his teacher said he had a great day. She said he was smiling a lot and was happy. They work hard on so many different projects with his class. I can tell how much they do every day and it makes a huge difference.
We headed off to his therapy and he was telling me all kinds of things. I love it when he is in a calm talkative mood. He was very patient while I talked to his first therapist and then off they went. He did great today in each session. They both said he had more patience and did the exercises. I’m glad that he is doing better. On the way home he told me he wanted a goat added to the list of animals he wants. He said he wants to see the goat climb on the swing. His request on the way home was to go by the “bridge flags” and the “blue church.”
He is now starting to give me his tablet when it has a low battery so I will charge it. He used to get so mad when it would turn off so it is incredible progress to have these moments. He was pretty calm except he wanted to chew, lick, or bite everything to show me he could do it. Yesterday I threw away several of his game pieces because he chewed them right in front of me. One minute we are playing the game and the next minute it is in his mouth trying to chew it. Tonight I told him I was going to tell his teacher he was doing this and he said, “No no no” and stopped doing it. She has a calming effect on him and he knows she would not approve of him destroying things. He then came and sat with me so we could play his games on his tablet.
Bedtime went pretty quickly tonight. He said his prayers that he would get to ride the bus to school, see his friends, and get to go on the “movie trip” on Saturday. When he prays he says all these things after his prayer. “Dear God thank you for amen” and then goes into all the details. God knows and that’s what is important. Positive words and positive actions equal a positive life. Smiles to all and donut daze!
