Changing Sunday - our autism journey

Life happens when you have something else planned. I thought Owen might sleep all night and I suppose I will look at it as him only kinda waking up early. I didn’t sleep at all so I suppose it didn’t matter.

After the initial shakeup of our morning, he was much calmer. And very hungry. Once again first and second breakfast was had and then he asked for “chicken and honey mustard.” “Why not,” was my response and I started making it for him. It was devoured and that was that.

It’s Easter. I think about what Easter means to me and how big of a day it is. I talked to Owen about Easter and going to church. That he was ready for but the rain wasn’t part of his plan.

I made sure we left early for church but it was still very busy and very rainy. Owen was not pleased when we got out of the car and it was raining so much. I am still always on edge hoping that he doesn’t start having meltdowns again over the rain. It was heavy but thankfully he kept walking inside. The cars and people were making him anxious.

When we got inside there were not enough blue pants but we made it down to his classroom. There were so many people and he was very focused. I dropped him off and went up to church. I knew with his reaction and all the cars I would need to leave a few minutes early so it would not cause a huge meltdown for him. Thankfully it all went smoothly and he was very happy that we had gone to church.

We came home and he seemed like he ate all day again. He is definitely growing. We played several games and he had a good afternoon. As the day turned into night he became more focused on what was happening the next few days.

He asked many times about going to music therapy tomorrow and he is hoping to see his friend there again. He also talked about going to his vision therapy after he eats a snack. He then asked about going places with his friend again and he had hoped he could have gone to church with us today. He can’t wait to go back to school on Tuesday to see him.

Our day started a little early but thankfully for the most part he was pretty calm. Before he fell asleep he came to me numerous times. I pray for sleep and a great day tomorrow. His laughter is the best and when I asked him to wear his bunny ears he did but he made me take mine off. I’m thankful for his smile and those big, blue, inquisitive eyes. Be inspired and let your inspiration shine. 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.
