He was happy about music and he had numerous other things planned but that doesn’t always mean they happen. His anxiousness for all the things that happened kept me anxious for all the things that could happen but thankfully routine has returned.
I picked him up from school to go to music therapy. He did good but he has such a hard time focusing on the moment. He is always ahead of time. I wish I could figure out some exercises to get him to focus on the now.
The traffic was horrible leaving his therapy appointment today. Thankfully he remained pretty calm the entire time. He wanted to go “push the cart at Dollar General.” He loves pushing the cart. It is something that I love to see and to hear him excited about it. He did not want to buy anything he just wanted to look and turn the cart in all the directions. Plus, he wanted to race but I told him we couldn't. This was not what he wanted to hear so we left.
The night was pretty calm. I know he is still anxious about missing his routine and told me numerous times he had no school until next week but then asked when he was riding the bus home. I need to try to reintroduce a schedule for him. This has never been easy for him to handle or he has even wanted to us but maybe he will look at it differently now.
Nighttime came with the same questions of what was happening tomorrow. I’m glad that his routine has returned and I hope that he will be able to sleep again tonight. We go to his doctor on Friday for a quarterly visit so hopefully that will go well. I’m thankful for his progress and even through our challenges, I know he will continue to succeed. Let the sunshine light your way even on a cloudy day. Smiles to all and donut daze!
