Convinced Wednesday - our autism journey

The good news we were both in a good mood. The bad news we were both up early but thankfully we were both up early. It seems like the night after my infusions I’m up and down a lot but still being up before four in the morning is not very fun. Owen was pretty calm but ready for all his days ahead. I was excited to get a cup of coffee.

I was in a good mood when Owen woke up and didn’t scream at me. I didn’t even attempt to not give him his tablet or tell him to go back to bed. At that point, I had been up at least an hour. He was in a good mood but was quite full of the continued mischief from yesterday. He was quite interested in licking my head and biting my hair. I am trying not to show my emotions about these things so he won’t do it as much but I haven’t seen a decline in the attempts at all and in fact, he finds it even more amusing and wants to do it more. Redirection with Owen is very complex. The never ever forgetting a thing makes it even more complicated.

He was staying pretty calm but he was asking a lot about his best friend and wanted to know when he would see him again. He told me he was going to take a nap. I laughed. He didn’t act tired and I think the last time he napped was when he was two. He told me he wanted a new bed like he used to have. I asked him which bed and he said his baby bed. His crib converted into a toddler bed. Maybe he wants a smaller bed. He has a double bed with a tent over it and rolls all over. He tells me he doesn’t want the tent off though.

The city tests the emergency sirens once a month and as soon as he heard them he told me that we needed to go downstairs. I explained to him that they were testing to make sure the system was working. He told me that we had to test going downstairs. I told him it would be fine because we knew how to go downstairs.

He is very excited for tomorrow. We are going with one of our new friends to breakfast at “cracker baker” and then bowling. I am excited about it too. Plus, he then will go to his therapy. On Friday he is going to see his grandma while I have an appointment so he won’t go to see her on Saturday. It will be good to shake up his schedule a little more so hopefully it will help with his sleep.

I’m thankful he was calm for most of the day. We shared a lot of moments of laughter and did many different activities. Hopefully, we both sleep better tonight because we have a very busy day tomorrow. Even though I know what happens with his little mischievous smile I love to see it because it is the absolute best to see the shine in his eyes. Follow your heart, let the light shine in, and know that you can make a difference in this world. 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.
