Thankfully sleep found Owen but me not so much. I was in and out of sleep all through the night. When he woke up he was pretty quiet and he was concentrating on his tablet. I fixed his breakfast and that seemed to wake him up.
He started mentioning Tuesday again so I asked him why he was focused on Tuesday. We talked about it. I know he can’t express why yet but I told him he does a lot of his favorite things on Monday so he should also talk about Monday. He hasn’t mentioned Tuesday again but instead, he listed all the weekdays. The more I can talk to him about it the more I feel like he will make the connection to the current day instead of always wanting days ahead.
We got ready so I could take him to grandma’s house. He was excited because they were going on a long adventure. He likes to go to her house so he can play on her “black computer” that isn’t connected to the internet. He changes all the sign-on icons and loves hearing the Windows restart sound. After that they went to see the burger boy statue he likes and to go across the railroad tracks lots of times. It makes his day. After they were done we met so I could pick him up.
He didn’t want to get anything on the way home so I made chicken for dinner. He was asking me for a snack while I made dinner. He said, “May I have more chocolate milk please?” He is using more accurate sentence structure and working on how he pronounces his words. It’s all incredible progress.
He was pretty calm the rest of the night and didn’t mention specific days again. When the timer went off for bedtime he brought his tablet to me right away and we started getting ready for bed. He is very excited about going to church and seeing his people. He gave me a big hug and off to bed he went. I am loving all these hugs I’ve been getting. Live your dreams out loud. Smiles to all and donut daze!
