Thankfully sleep happened. Owen woke a little before “five oh oh” but I told him that it wasn’t quite five. He asked a few more times for his tablet and realized I wasn’t giving in and went back to bed until well after five. He was pretty calm all morning. I was of course up numerous times but on my own bladder schedule. He was ready for his day and all his days ahead.
He told me that he left his jacket at school. I told him that he had to look for it and remember to put it in his bag. We worked through how he needed to do it and how to ask for help if he couldn’t put it in his bag. I try to help him with sentence structure and have him repeat it back to me. I encourage him to say it in his own words so that it is easier for him to remember. He has come so far.
He was ready to get his Friday started. He talked all morning long about seeing his friends at school and what he was going to do when he got there. I am trying to get him to tell me more about the people he wants to see. He kept asking me when we could go wait for the bus. We got ready and went out to wait. “Plenty of time,” he said to me and I knew those were the words I said to him almost every day. I try not to go out too early because it makes him anxious while waiting for the bus. It wasn’t long and he was off.
When he got home he was very excited about everything. He told me he was looking forward to ordering a mushroom and olive pizza on Monday but he said not together. He told me about people on the bus and at school. He let me know his coat was in his bag. He also told me he had a “booboo” and there was blood. I could not see blood or the booboo. I am not sure why he now says everything has blood but I told him there was no blood. And there was more mushroom pizza talk.
“Turn single,” he said, “you have to use the turn single it blinks,” he continued. He sat watching a video of someone driving around our town. I love that he says “single” but we are working on that. It’s one of those words that as much as I want him to say it correctly I love his version. My favorite is when he sings, “single bells single bells single all the way.”
The night went quickly. “Mommy get the dog,” he said, “at the house.” He has been talking more and more about us moving. I wish I could find some property that would work for us. He is ready to move to the home with the purple cows and lots of animals.
The screaming was a bit much tonight but it was the fake screaming to get his way that I didn’t fall for which made him scream more. We said our prayers and he said, “Walk you to your room walk you.” He grabbed my hand and I walked him to his bedroom. He got into bed and as I walked away he said, “One more hug mommy” and one more hug it was. The love of my life is the best ray of sunshine ever. Remember the victories not the challenges to get there. Smiles to all and donut daze!
