Promising Sunday - our autism journey

Each day is a gift. Even though I’m exhausted I’m thankful for the sleep that we did have. Owen was asleep early last night, didn’t wake up during any of the noises that were traveling through our neighborhood, and slept until after five. He was ready for his day. I talked to him about Christmas and he told me Santa was coming but then when I talked about the gifts he made sure I knew they weren’t to be wrapped. Our church service was later but thankfully he was calm for the whole morning. It allowed him to eat more. He is definitely in a growth spurt. We got ready to leave early so he could go to the park. On the way to church, he told me he thought “Night Santa” was coming to bring him dinner with his presents. He told me he got to sing with the music therapist and night Santa. I told him he wouldn’t see Santa when he dropped his presents off. We shall see how this goes because he wanted to see him but not at our house and he didn’t want him to bring presents. So I am going to have to plan this better next year. He went to his classroom immediately we had gone early so we could go to the park but he decided to go straight in. I went to the service and it was amazing. When we were leaving he wanted to stay for the service. We stayed for about half. He got a little upset they weren’t singing in Spanish and occasionally pulled my hair for a response but for the most part enjoyed the service. I told him on the way home Santa was coming tonight and he screamed. He told me that Santa couldn’t come. He told me no presents and no red hat. I told him he wouldn’t even see him so he then told me he would see him on Wednesday and then he could get his red hat. I said where are you going to see him and he said, “Night Santa at the park.” I think it was a lot for him to take in. Lots were going on after church and then to talk about Santa was too much. Once we got home he calmed down but again told me no presents and didn’t want to talk about him coming. I pray this does not disrupt his sleep tonight. Thankfully he remained calm throughout the night though. I think I will only wrap his new red hat maybe. I’m not sure but this is the closest we have ever been to understanding about Santa so I’m thankful for the progress. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings. Merry Christmas to the world and a bright future for my sweet baby O. Enjoy the reason for the season and make your holidays bright. 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.
