I woke up early to go to the bathroom. He heard me and started talking. I said nothing and stood there for over five minutes praying he wouldn’t get up. It was barely four. He fell back asleep and I rejoiced. He woke up one other time talking but went back to sleep again.
I heard him stirring again and he started talking to me I said, “Good morning sunshine” and he answered, “Good morning sunshine how are you I’m fine.” I love it when he goes through the conversations with me. I’m trying to get him to understand he needs to let me answer part of this but I’m happy he is having a conversation with me.
He was very calm, listening to instructions and eating a lot. He is definitely growing. He had a full plate of cereal and requested pancakes, plus he wanted more cereal. He asked when we were going to the pool and if he could see the burger boy statue after church. I ate the rest of the pizza we had since he said he didn’t want it and then of course he asked for it after he ate his second or third breakfast. I told him sorry dude and I will get him another one soon.
When we were getting ready to leave he wanted to sit in the front seat. I told him I would look at the age. He has to be thirteen so I told him he had two years even though he only has a little over one so we would have plenty of time to prepare. He said, “No more two years.” He had a good day at church and wanted to go see his favorite statues. Some homeless people were standing at the burger boy going through their stuff repeatedly so I didn’t stop because I wasn’t sure how he would handle it. He was fine with not getting out.
This dude is determined to jump off that diving board. He asks constantly to go. I think he would be happy if we could swim every day or at least every other day. He asked when he would go back for another swimming lesson and I told him in March.
I’m thankful for a good day and how much progress he is making. I always say autism is as much about how I handle it as it is about Owen having it. Each day I try to give myself the kindness and grace I always talk to him about that we need to give everyone. Our life is not always easy to explain but the love sure is. Be inspired by the sunshine and dance to the beat of the rays. Smiles to all and donut daze!
