One of the most confusing days of the year to me is always time change Sunday. I can never remember if it is the one I’m more tired or less tired but I suppose all tired is tired and when Owen wakes at three in the morning it truly doesn’t matter. I don’t know if that was the old time or the new time but either way, he didn’t want to go back to bed so here we were at party central. He wanted his tablet and to talk about who he was going to see at church.
He wanted milk that he didn’t touch until much later and cereal to start with. He would pick up a couple of pieces from his plate and then he would run off into the living room throwing them as he laughed with delight. Saying no does not translate sometimes when he thinks it’s hilarious. He came back to the tablet to get another handful but this time I had picked up the plate. He then asked me for pancake sausage dogs and ran off to play on his tablet.
He wanted to rub my head a lot today. He knows this week is when I go get my medicine in my “medicine box.” He goes through all the steps of what our day is like. He knows he goes to school while I’m getting my medicine and then his grandma picks him up and takes him to therapy. He kept rubbing my head and saying “Medicine baby head.” I’m thankful he can process it all and he is handling it well.
We got ready for church and he was asking who was going to be there even though he knew. We walked out to the car and I watched him balancing his tablet on his knee while standing on one leg to fix headphones. I was amazed at how he did and it brought great joy to my heart. This type of movement is something we have been working on for years with different exercises so to see him do this was wonderful.
He did wonderful at church and was thankful to see his favorite people there. He still wishes his best friend would come to church with him but we haven’t been able to get together with him yet. After church, we got his requested lunch and headed home. I reminded him we were going straight home after that when he requested to go see the windows and railroad tracks. I asked him if he remembered why we couldn’t go anywhere else. He told me because he yelled at me. I’m glad he is making the connection and he was much calmer on the way home.
I am trying to remind him not to twirl his hair so he doesn’t continue pulling it out and making the bald spot bigger. I tried putting a skull cap under his headphones but that didn’t last. I will try it a few more times and I’m also going to see if his teacher has any suggestions.
He was very calm throughout the rest of the day and nighttime came quickly. He took a long bath and wanted to make sure he was seeing his teacher tomorrow. He will have Tuesday off and this is prompting him to ask more questions about going back to his old school and when he will see his teacher again. I’m praying that he sleeps tonight and this is not still on his mind.
His laugh filled the air today and his smile was amazing. He said more words and made huge connections. I see growth and I’m thankful. Let your heart be happy and know that you can move mountains with your smile. Smiles to all and donut daze!
