Too much excitement wins again. He was up by two, talking to me about his tablet, and what his day was to hold. I can only guess what woke him up last night but at least he let me mostly go back to sleep. I had a feeling he was up because he was getting to see two of our advisors when he got home from school and I’m sure he was still excited about seeing his best friend yesterday. Plus, the excitement of school alone makes him happy so I’m sure it was partly that as well.
He was in a great mood all morning. He told me he couldn’t wait to see his best friend again in August. I’m so happy he got to see him yesterday. It made us both very happy. He was ready to get to school so he could come home and see his people. He also couldn’t wait until he got home so he could see them and then tell them to leave. He has a hard time when people are at our house because it throws his schedule off.
We got ready and went out to wait for the bus. “Shorts on October,” he said while not facing the steps correctly and telling me that he wanted to wear shorts now but also in October. He never pays attention to the fact that he is right at the top of the steps and so close to the edge. I remind him to move over or turn around. He did both and then went right back to the same spot to talk about shorts again. I saw on the app his bus was coming so I told him to go on down the steps. It wasn’t long and he was off to school.
Our advisors came before he got home from school. We went over the necessary paperwork and questions. He came home when we were almost done and he was so excited to see them. He goes through all his questions, comments, and suggestions of when they should leave. He remembers the first time he met them and what they were wearing. He truly never forgets a thing. Both could see a lot of progress from him and I was happy about that. He was happy when they left so he could watch them leave and then change.
Whenever I drop something he says “Pay attention.” I wish I would pay attention sometimes. “When the siren comes we have to go down the stairs,” he randomly said to me. He is well aware of the storms now and the steps we have to take for our safety. They practice a lot with him at school and we go over what we have to do at home. He talked a lot about his weekend and what else he wanted to do. He wants to go see the horses again so hopefully we will go this week.
He was very tired. I guess two in the morning was catching up to him. He was lying on me and saying that the countdown would start soon for bedtime. At that point, he still had three hours to go.
He asked YouTube to find “speak bump” instead of speed bump I thought but then he continued “Put air in my tire.” It wasn’t a “speed bump” he wanted a “spike bump” so he could watch tires flatten over the spike strip. The adventures with this one are going to be strong. He then was watching a video where a baby was watching a tablet with his mom and he said, “Baby tablets take baby’s tablet.” I told him he couldn’t take that tablet from the baby on his tablet. He then told me he was going to take “Uncle Wichard’s tablet.” I told him he knew he couldn’t have his tablet either. I still look at the pictures my brother had on it. I can’t even reset it to use for myself.
He had gotten up a couple of times but we pretty much stayed attached at the hip for hours. He already told me to “order roast beef for me” wanting it for tomorrow after he went to grandma’s house. He didn’t mention the mashed potatoes and gravy or green beans this time. He didn’t want the potatoes but ate the green beans so I’ll try maybe French fries for him this week. It’s so funny how he wanted me to order that last week and now requesting it again.
He knows that he has to sleep until five so he can go to grandma’s house and that he has to look at his clock to see what time it is. He’s had it almost a couple weeks now and he hasn’t thrown in the trash or even unplugged it once so that is huge progress. This is the longest a clock has ever lasted in his room. Maybe tonight he will sleep. I’m incredibly blessed for the progress he has made and the smiles he gives me. Never give up on the hope for tomorrow. One little step can change your entire life. Let tomorrow be that step forward. Smiles to all and donut daze!
