Caring Friday - our autism journey

It was a night we both slept pretty good. Owen slept better than me but I only woke up once and that is a victory for me. He was pretty calm but was stuck on talking about his game. He yelled out “Ice cream fell bear happy bear sad where’s magical hats.” The app manufacturer cannot possibly understand how much they changed our daily lives when they removed one section from their game app. But they did bug time.

One of the first things he told me when he woke up was that it was our friend’s birthday and we needed to wish her a happy birthday. He also told me she gets cake and cupcakes. I love how far he has come. He started talking about his birthday and that he was going to have a party at school again.

He was very excited about getting to school. I am so thankful he loves going. He looks forward to seeing the bus aide every day. Then he talks about sitting with one of the other students. He was so happy about everything and couldn’t wait until the bus turned the corner. His “movie trip” was also a big topic as we waited. Since we went out early because the bus app wasn’t working again we had time to talk about his birthday plans for next year again. And then he was off.

In no time it seemed like he was home again and ready for his days ahead. He was all about what is happening and he immediately went into the spitting, kicking, licking, hitting dialogue but hopefully he will stop because I told him if he kept it up he would not get to go on his movie trip. He said, “Sorry Mommy want to go to the movie trip” and stopped talking about it. I know he likes to see my reactions to things but I don’t want him to continue to talk about things he knows are not nice.

He told me the leprechauns needed to help move us to the woods so we could have a farm with the purple cows. When all else fails bring out the leprechauns and let them do the work. I pray we find some property soon. I love that he is talking more about it and is embracing it as much as he can.

The night moved along quickly. The ebbs and tidea of emotions were like the ripples on the ocean. I’m thankful he is embracing his breathing exercises again and going through the motions. His laughter is what I held onto and I’m thankful for that amazing smile. Never give up on the hope for tomorrow. Smiles to all and donut daze!

    I'm Lynn Browder. Owen's Mommy. The best moments in time are when I get to see the smile on his face and that giggle come from his heart.
