We both woke up early but I may have had a little help. It was right before five when I heard Owen. I hadn’t slept that much through the night so I would have been happy if we could have slept later but at least he made it close to five.
He was excited about his day ahead and he wanted to remind me that even though it was still Friday and he hadn’t even ridden the bus home today he was riding the bus home on Monday. Between five when he woke up and when we got ready for the bus he said it dozens of times. It is so hard for him to focus on something different and even when I try to distract him he still has to process what he wants.
He was still talking about riding the bus home on Monday when we went outside and he was still talking about it when his bus came around the corner but the happiness washed over him when he saw his bus. He once again talked about the bus over his shoulder as he got on the bus. He said something to the bus driver, took his seat, and off they went.
When he came home from school it was back to the same thing. He wanted to make sure I told the bus driver he was going to ride the bus home on Monday and then we came inside. I thought we were going to go do something but he wanted to stay home so he immediately changed and that was that except for more talking about the bus.
He doesn’t have a baseball game tomorrow because we were doing team photos but that changed so he will go to see his grandma if he sleeps all night. Hopefully, he will but it was also confusing for him because he thought he would have a game tomorrow.
The night went quickly and much food was once again devoured. He is definitely growing. I pray for sleep tonight and a calm day tomorrow. He was talking about wanting to go for a ride with his grandma but then he told me all the behaviors he knows he is not supposed to do and said he wouldn’t be going on a ride. He is processing it all.
I’m thankful for the connections he is making and how far he has come. Each day is a gift. Cherish the moments that lead to your victories. Smiles to all and donut daze!
