Facing Wednesday - our autism journey

I don’t even know where to begin with today so I’m going to start with life happens when you have something else planned. I woke up a little after four. I got up around five and that woke Owen up. He was in a good mood but stuck to me like glue. Every time he started to talk about bunny ears or clothes he talked about his “swimming suit” so maybe, just maybe this is progress and he may let go of the blue pants thing, I pray.

We got ready to go outside and he had questions about having another birthday, seeing his teacher, and when he was going to therapy. The bus turned the corner and he was so happy to see it. He ran to get on the bus and off they went.

When he got home he was committed to having another birthday this week. He told me that tomorrow when he gets home we are having Bob Evans for his birthday. I guess since we didn’t get it yet he wants it tomorrow for his birthday do over. He told me all about what is happening tomorrow several times. I’m taking him to school and not staying because I am not in middle school. He is focused on planning his days. He knew I was taking him to school because I had an early appointment tomorrow. This was throwing him off so he wanted to make sure I was not staying at school with him.

He was in such a great mood and then our internet went out. and he said, “Gino’s works.” I’m not sure why he brought up his favorite pizza place but he was hoping theirs was working. He is always protective of them. I tried every way I could to connect my phone and all the other backups I had to get the internet to work for him on his tablets. He can play his games without the Internet but as soon as it goes out he always wants YouTube. The “toothpaste would not connect,” he said. He always calls Bluetooth toothpaste and has to go through the whole thing. “Toothpaste toothbrush Bluetooth,” he says.

After about two hours or what seemed like a lifetime our internet started working. I do not know how it was possible at first but some of the devices were working and some weren’t even after I restarted everything French songs were blaring through the house and he was singing with them about the sounds the animals make. He knew he was singing in “France.”

After a while everything came back online and he was so happy. He said, “It’s a new Internet the Internet works.” I was thankful he didn’t have a complete meltdown over this but he didn’t stop asking about it or trying to connect to “toothpaste.” Now to search out a more concrete way to have a backup for our internet. I thought I was covered but three backups are better than two.

“Pray you I sleep tonight,” he said. Whenever he says “pray” or anything else like that it makes my heart happy. I pray a lot and I pray loud. I want Owen to know he can pray to God about everything. And boy do I pray a lot about us sleeping. Tomorrow is my last radiation treatment and I am so thankful. God is so good and I know he’s got me. Owen said, my laugh is funny mommy loves it” and I told him I sure did. Let the challenges of today be distant memories tomorrow and know that it will be a better day. 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.
