If you couldn’t have guessed we were up early again, Owen was very excited about our day and when he would get to go see the horses again. He wanted me to know that he can’t wait until he can have the horse at his birthday party at school next year. His teacher might have her hands full with this one. It makes me happy knowing how much he loved having his birthday party at school though.
He was quite full of himself this morning and once again full of lots of information. Even though he hasn’t read to the horses yet he has requested several books to take with him to show them. He told me which ones he wanted and then told me “Order it.” These were new books to me so I’m not sure how he knew about them but he was very specific. We may have found our summer activity. I’m so thrilled with the impact his time with the horses made on him so quickly.
He asked me if the horses wore blue pants. I told him he knew the answer to that and he laughed. I watched the video of him petting the horse over and over. It brought so much joy to my heart. I think as much as he liked petting the horse it was also comforting for him to watch its fur fall to the ground.
He knew we were going to see his counselor this morning and he was beyond excited. He couldn't wait to get there. He kept asking when we would get dressed but was calm about it. We got to the appointment and he was excited about everything. He let the whole waiting room know what his day held. He couldn’t wait for the nurse to come get him so he could get through that part to see the doctor. He was able to answer the doctor’s questions and he didn’t interrupt quite as many times as he usually does when we were talking. He was loud but not screaming. The doctor could see growth and thought he was making lots of progress.
We have one more session with him before he moves but Owen seemed to handle it well when he said he would get a new doctor. I asked him in the car to tell me what some of the things the doctor said about him that he liked and he answered that “he behaved” and he made “progress.” I was happy with his answers because I knew he was paying attention. I told him to remind me when he got to school that I needed to put his “school excuse” in his backpack. We got to school and he told me to put his “suitcase” in his backpack. I sure did.
When he got home he started planning all his days ahead. He told me once again that he was not going to the Special Olympics but there may be a little hitch in his giddy-up about not going. He said multiple times he was not going and then I could see the lightbulb go off that he might see his best friend there. It caused a pause and he asked me multiple times if he was going. I told him I didn’t know. He was then back on the “he was not going train.” The horses were then back as the big topic of conversation and he wanted to know when he was going back to see them.
He was calm all night. I was thankful for that. He was excited about the horses and he wanted to go to his grandma’s house tomorrow. I pray he sleeps tonight and is in a great mood tomorrow. He did his fake laugh when we were at the doctor’s office and that made my day. Let laughter fill your heart and be the melody for your day. Smiles to all and donut daze!
