I woke up around three to go to the bathroom. Owen woke up as soon as he heard me. He asked for his tablet repeatedly but I told him that it was still nighttime and he had to go back to sleep for three more hours. To my surprise, he went back to sleep and woke up around six so I’d say successful night.
He immediately went to the couch right after he came out of the bathroom. It felt like success. He started talking to me about summer school and going to his new school in August. I’m so thankful he feels more prepared for these changes.
I found some Curious George books for summer. He was talking about him again yesterday and I started looking at some new books that might help more connections for him. He told me to order them.
He starts soccer tomorrow but he said, “No soccer just grandma.” Every time I mention soccer he says no so I’m questioning if I should take him but know that we will at least try to see what he thinks. He randomly tells me no baseball but I’m not sure if it is because he has no more games or because he didn’t like it. I’m good at overthinking it all but he does keep talking about how much he enjoyed yoga.
He stayed pretty calm the whole day but he didn’t want to go anywhere, I think preparing for his Saturday. He is excited about next week. He also wants to see all his friends and listed where he wanted to see them so I’m hoping that some of it will work out for him.
I finally thought I convinced him to go someplace but then his tablets all needed battery at the same time and that led to a huge meltdown. None of his tablets seem to be holding a charge for very long anymore. He told me he didn’t want to use his school tablet because he was supposed to get a new one. I think maybe they told him he would have a different one once he went to middle school.
He had a huge chocolate milk mustache and as much as I love how adorable it is I always have to wipe it off but wiping his face is extremely hard on him. He does not like it at all and will pull away and sometimes even scream. It’s all part of his sensory issues and no matter how I try to wipe it or what I use he doesn’t want his face wiped. I am trying to teach him to do it but that is also hard on him and quite a process.
Bedtime was not what he wanted on the agenda and instead of sleep he wanted to talk about his best friend. How do I even attempt to explain that I can’t make his friend’s parents call us so they can get together? I wish I could get them together but I can’t make it happen. Hopefully there will be a way and maybe he will be at summer school with him. I can imagine how much he is missing him because I know how much I miss my friends that I don’t get to be with.
I’m hoping the new Curious George books will help us like how it helped with his sleeping and the rain. The day was a rollercoaster but more of the smooth parts than the twists and turns. I’m hoping for sleep for both of us and a great day tomorrow. I’m thankful for his amazing singing that he did for me and the progress that he is making. Find your joy in the little things and make life happen. Smiles to all and donut daze!
