The good news Owen might sleep tonight. He’s been up since 3 dreaming of his Saturday. I got up to use the bathroom and he was already up walking around in his room singing away. I think in the new year we might have to change his Saturdays more. He was ready for his Friday to be done so he could be home tonight to get ready to see his grandma tomorrow. I think between his growth spurt and the upcoming holiday he is focused on the moments he wants to control or thinks he can control. He wanted his tablet and I was trying to explain to him where I placed it while it was charging. He wasn’t even two feet from it and he couldn’t see it because of the direction it was laying. I gave him all types of instructions but it was too difficult for him to follow each step. I tried to make them very clear but he was just getting frustrated. I came closer to him because when I told him to look at the wall he would completely turn around to walk into the other room. He finally was able to find it and we went from there. He has a hard time with descriptive words like up, down, closer, or far away. I am going to work on more of these with him. We got ready for school and he wanted to make sure I knew we were not going anywhere when he came home from school. I asked him if he wanted to go to the park like we talked about to ride the wagon train but he said no. He was full of energy for someone who had been up most of the night. He was off to school and I’m sure focusing on his weekend. He took nothing for a chance when he came home from school. He came right inside to take off his clothes. He immediately started talking about the weekend and Monday. He wanted to make sure he was going to therapy on Monday. And that he was going to his grandma’s tomorrow. We were in for the night and he was very calm. I think it was pure exhaustion. He didn’t eat much of his dinner but he was ready for his bath. Bath time was the best time for him and he loved that he could wear his goggles in the tub. He fell asleep without much screaming or even talking. He had requested to go to activities tomorrow but I have a feeling grandma’s and mud might be the only thing on his mind. I’m hoping sleep is on all of ours. Thankful for a calm night and a happy boy. Each day we can make new memories and celebrate our victories. Smiles to all and donut daze!
