The morning went quickly. He was back to making sure I was sitting and then showing me everything on his tablet but thankfully he was very calm. I think he was trying to create a way to get to see his grandma. He told me be kind at therapy, go to Tudors, see Grandma, then home. I told him we were going today but we might be able to work through all of that on Saturday. It will be hard for him if he can’t see her in his favorite outfits.
He was off to school. The excitement of him jumping up and down when he sees the bus turn the corner always makes my day. He is so thrilled to ride the bus. I wondered if he would sit next to the girl again. I’m so thankful for all the people in Owen’s life who helped him in every way.
When I picked him up from school he was full of information. He told me that he heard the speaker in his classroom because I “didn’t texted it to make the this sound to make the noise.” He then told me about the people that didn’t wear blue pants. I took this opportunity to remind him that we still have to be kind to everyone and he said, “It’s important to you Owen.” I tell him that I understand it is important to him that everyone wear blue pants but it is also important to them what they choose to wear. I want him to know his feelings are valid but so are others. I hope he will make the connection.
The conversation continued all the way to his therapy. I loved that he was calm when he was talking about it all. He only had one session. His therapist said he did pretty good and wasn’t as focused on her clothes. He was able to do more exercises. He wanted to go by the burger boy statue on the way home but did not want to get out to see it. He asked again about going to see his grandma on Saturday. I told him all the same things. He said, “Grandma wear pedal pushers and grandpa wear tan pants.”
“Say times up for the bath zero,” Owen said like he was a human timer going off after I had tried to convince him to get out of the bath for thirty minutes. He finally got out. It wasn’t much longer and it was bedtime. Thankfully he was calm the entire night. He made sure to tell me he was laughing and I love that he wants me to hear it. Hopefully, he will sleep until at least five. His fake laugh is as wonderful as his real laugh because I know he does it just for me. Live in the moment and love for a lifetime. Smiles to all and donut daze!
