“Upper night” happened but fortunately it was at least a quieter night and no screaming or lights turning on and off. I heard Owen’s tablet and then I heard him laughing. He came around the corner and I said it’s nighttime. He said, “Tablet” and walked back to his room.
Last night there was major flooding all through our state. The town we live in and so many close by were all hit hard. The county at first had a two-hour delay for schools but then this morning they changed it to remote learning because so many couldn’t get to school. We had an appointment this morning so he was already going to be late if he had gone to school. Remote learning is hard for him but his teacher emailed papers for him to work on. We completed them after his appointment.
Thankfully we didn’t get flooded and the roads to Owen’s appointment were fine. My heart breaks for all that are going through this. We had a good appointment and the doctor can see great progress for him. We talked about some strategies for how to get him to focus more on the now and living in the moment. We are going to work with a behavioral specialist as well on other exercises.
When we left there he wanted to go get pancakes. I was excited that he wanted to go to breakfast with me. He handled it like a champ even when his tablet went out while we were eating.
He is excited about starting baseball tomorrow but he also told me he didn’t want to go so we will see how the night goes. He has his first practice. Every time he talks about it being baseball he says he wants to do soccer so we will see what happens when he is there. I think he will have fun though and he will have a buddy that helps him during the practice and games.
The rest of the day was filled with him asking about tomorrow, who he was going to see, if he was going to his grandma’s house, church on Sunday, and if he was going to school on Monday. I tried to answer yes to everything but several of those answers are possibilities and not for sure. He was much calmer today though so I’ll take it. I am thankful for his growth and all the amazing things he is learning. Let today be your stepping stone for an amazing tomorrow. Smiles to all and donut daze!
