A much calmer start to our routine day. Owen’s only main concern was how he was going to get to his grandma’s house tomorrow. He wants to make sure that I have everyone informed that I may need a backup plan so he can go see her. He told me that he was very upset yesterday but he is happy today. That feels like a huge win that he is working through his emotions and was able to tell me his feelings.
I told him I was proud of how he did yesterday. “Very good job keep up the good job,” he said. He went on to tell me that he was “screaming yesterday makes mommy sad.” I made sure he knew I was glad that he woke up happy today but I do understand that when emotions are hard it can take a lot for us to process them. I reminded him that by the end of the day, he was happy and laughing and that was incredible.
The bus app was working so that helped me plan our morning better. He was in a good mood and I wasn’t going to let anything change that. School, stay home, get ready for tomorrow was in the works. He kept reciting those steps over and over of what would happen for him today. When his plans are in motion he is so much happier and a full week of glorious routine has been perfect.
“Mommy take you to grandma’s house if snot” and then started listing all our friends that would take him. “Things changing Mommy tell you come here for a minute,” he continued. I see growth in these statements and that he is learning to process the changes that are happening. He wanted to make sure that if anything changed he would know all about it. I told him that as far as I know, he is going to grandma’s house tomorrow but I would let him know as soon as I could if anything was going to change. He was off to school and I knew he was going to have a great Friday.
He got home and he was very focused. Tomorrow is a brand new day and what it is all about. According to him I have lots of appointments that I did not know about for tomorrow and he can’t wait to go to bed so he can go see his grandma. “Owen not going Diehl’s SaturDAY no Cheryl Debi aunt Betsy eat there Saturday go in summer they moved to Florida they move back teach math me math learn math not in Florida.” And he kept going, sharing his thoughts about missing our family.
As the night wore on his belly was acting up so I am praying he is not getting sick and it goes away quickly. He was still eating and drinking and he said he was not sick. He was ready to go to bed so he could see his grandma tomorrow. He told me that he had to sleep until “five oh oh” but I made sure he knew that if he needed me he could get up anytime or yell for me. He has done so incredibly well about staying in bed but I made sure he understood that if he needed to go to the bathroom or wanted me for any reason all he had to do was call my name. I always pray he understands that. His smile is my shining light to my heart. Know that your smile can change the world. Smiles to all and donut daze!
