The anxiousness was running rampant today. I’m not quite sure what Owen was anxious about but he was covering his day ahead and the Saturdays in his future. He wanted me to be sitting and not drinking my coffee. It’s an interesting dynamic. He was extremely ready to see who was going on the bus and what they would all be eating when they got to school.
I don’t know why he gets so upset when I get or drink something now. It has come full circle from when he was little. He also doesn’t like it when I take medicine. From any room, he will start yelling “you are amazing” over and over until I’m done. Even if he is standing next to me he gets upset. The medicine is harder for him to deal with than me drinking something in general but I can’t figure out what it is about the medicine. He takes numerous supplements so it isn’t like he doesn’t know what it is but he gets very anxious when I have to take it. When he was little we went through this and he would have huge meltdowns over it but back then he also had a hard time if I was eating.
The bus got here a little early. He was very anxious to get out there and he wanted to know if the bus couldn’t bring him home who would come get him. I told him that he didn’t need to worry if he couldn’t get home on the bus I would pick him up and then we listed about twenty of his people who could bring him home. I asked him if he wanted to stop riding the bus and he said, “No wanna be on bus.” I always want to make sure he still likes it. He always talks about it but I want him to be happy.
He came home with lots of questions and more talk about food. He told me that he would go to school tomorrow and then come home. He wanted his snack and he laughed at all the different things I suggested we try. He has a hard time explaining sometimes what he has done at school so I try to ask him questions about things I know he has done. It helps build his confidence with his language skills and it is easier for him to share what he can.
He wanted to know what he was doing next Saturday. I asked him about this Saturday wondering if he knew there was a possibility of snow sometime in the next few days. I’m trying to tell him enough information without telling him too much information. I’m constantly going back and forth on how much information to give him. He stresses over things when I tell him too early but it can be harder on him if I wait to tell him. The queen of overthinking has to overthink each situation so it is now a case-by-case scenario. Routine is great but every little thing can change routine and ducks definitely need to be in a box.
He cannot wait to get back to school tomorrow and see all his people. He had a pretty good night, but he was excited about going to bed and starting all over again tomorrow. Each day is a gift and I’m thankful for mine. Let today be a stepping stone for a brighter, happier tomorrow. Find what makes you happy and watch your world change. Smiles to all and donut daze!
