Owen slept until a few minutes after six. I’ll take it. I was up by five but slept almost five hours straight so that was good. I told him we were going to see his grandma tomorrow after church if he slept all night. That was the plan and I stuck with it.
He said, “Play-Doh in the toilet what’s going to happen tablet gone be a good boy no Play-Doh in the toilet” and then he went through what could go in the toilet, laughing the entire time he said it. I pray he doesn’t stick anything else in the toilet. I already have enough plumbing problems as it is.
He was playing on his tablet and he said, “Turn it up Mommy ya right,” laughing hysterically and then continuing to tell me he was going to turn up his tablet. I wish his tablet had a way of limiting the volume. It does for headphones but not the regular volume and I’ve never found an app that works for it. He finds having all the noises being very noisy very comforting. I on the other hand would like to find the off switch occasionally to all the loud noises.
He said, “Twirling my hair don’t break your hair” as he was twirling his hair. He hasn’t been doing it nearly as much as he was so his bald spot has mostly grown back in. I try to explain to him that certain actions he does will hurt his body like biting down on hard objects like his tablet or biting his fingers when he is getting emotional leaving huge red marks on them. I know that is how he can process things or when he is stimming but it still hurts his body. I want him to be aware of it so that we can work on it and find other alternatives that won’t be as hard on him.
He was laughing a lot with me. I love that he wants to laugh for me. He was laughing about the panda both losing and winning to the giraffe. He likes to lose more than win because he finds it amusing when the characters do certain actions. I am fine if he loses if he doesn’t know the answer or can’t master the game but he does it a lot when he could win but prefers to lose. I try to explain to him that he shouldn’t try to lose or answer things incorrectly but he laughs more. He does this type of thing when he isn’t playing games and that is what I am more concerned about. He tells the wrong thing on purpose when he knows the answer. He will then answer correctly after you correct him.
He kept talking about his birthday. He first said he wanted to go to Dairy Queen and have a burger for his birthday. Then he said he wanted to come home after school and have Bob Evans delivered. He will get it figured out by Friday I’m sure. My boy loves talking about food and the apple doesn’t fall far from the apple fritter.
He was calm until he wasn’t. He wanted to make sure all his days ahead were accounted for. He talked about his birthday a lot. My momma’s heart aches. I want to plan something fun for him but even the thought of going out to dinner was causing him to stress out. His routine means more to him than going places that aren’t part of his routine. He talks about going to the occasional place here and there but then it makes him happier to drive by his favorite statues or go home. I have to focus on the good stuff.
Today was emotional for me. The screaming when I don’t answer right away or if I don’t answer him each time he repeats something can be hard. This is my baby, my most amazing son, and he’s screaming at me because I was taking a sip of my drink and couldn’t answer that he was going to school on Monday for the thousandth time today. And I wish my math was exaggerated. I can only imagine what goes on in his mind. My heart aches for everything he deals with constantly. His laugh gives me everything. Enjoy the little things. Smiles to all and donut daze!
