We went out to wait for the bus and we stayed underneath the porch because it was raining. I said, to him don’t jump in the puddles and get straight on the bus. And he did. I was very thankful for that. I’m thankful when he listens.
Umbrellas mean nothing to Owen at this point. So many times I tried to protect him from the rain but through his screams and meltdown it was harder and harder.
He has a friend at school who likes Sonic the Hedgehog. Owen has started asking about it. Generally, he loves Spider-Man but he asked for Sonic the Hedgehog pajamas. I’m not sure if it is because of his friend or if he is starting to like him.
When he got home there was a small break in the rain. He requested to go to the big park and get in the mud, then he said no he wanted to go bowling, next was him knowing it was raining so that sent him back to the mud but ultimately said no to going anywhere. He then decided that he needed new puzzles he didn’t have and told me to order them. He then started watching bowling.
The eating machine ate all night. After his dinner, he asked for waffles and pancakes. He took his bath and I’m hoping once again he will sleep all night. He was very happy when I told him he had one of his therapy sessions tomorrow.
Sleep came quickly for him. He had a great day, even though we had a few rollercoastery he still pushed through and enjoyed his day. I’m thankful for those big bear hugs and his incredible laugh. Make today matter and know, that tomorrow will be a better day. Smiles to all and donut daze!
