Another meeting for Owen. That’s what I woke up knowing I would be doing. Some of them can be hard but I wasn’t emotional about the one to come today.
Owen slept late and that was better than I did. I kept waking up thinking it was a different day or later in the night but very thankful he slept. When he woke the mission began. He wanted his tablet but I told him we only had a few minutes before it was time for school. We quickly got ready and out the door we went. It wasn’t long and he was off to start his day.
I went to Owen’s IEP meeting to move to middle school next year. It felt very promising for his growth and the year ahead. It seems like it will not be that much different after the initial change in people and place. They told me the routine is pretty much the same. I think he will like it. He saw me come in for the meeting and he remained calm so that was incredibly huge progress. Before he would always scream or think it was time to leave. They told him I was there for an appointment and he was fine.
His music therapist said he did much better today and was calm. They had sent his school tablet home with him again so he was asking for it but at least he was able to focus on the music and was able to tell me what they sang on the way home. We are now working on writing a song so that he can sing it to her next week. I also hope this helps with his focus and redirection.
To say I threw him slightly off when we went to his vision therapy appointment is an understatement. We got to his appointment when he realized and then I realized that I was not wearing a pair of shoes. This was not a wise move. I immediately was laughing because they weren’t even close but he did not find them amusing at all so I had to snap out of it to keep him from having a meltdown. He wanted a hairdryer to fix them and to cut them off. He told me the storm did it and I made a mess.
He kept telling me we needed to go home to fix it but thankfully we didn’t have to leave. He mostly recovered but was much more elevated than he would have been. He was more distracted than he probably would have been if I didn’t throw him off but he was able to do all of the exercises just not as quickly. I’m thankful for a very understanding doctor and she is extremely calm with us in every situation.
The night was filled with dinner and talking about the days ahead. I am trying to get him to work more on full sentences instead of only saying words to me. I’m hoping this will help with more of his anxiousness. I’m thankful for his growth and how he handled our day even though it all didn’t go according to plan. He even handled me eating a banana without grabbing it from me to “throw it in the trash.” Victories, I’ll take them. Let today be your learning tool for a beautiful tomorrow. Smiles to all and donut daze!
