Lifting Monday - our autism journey

Summer, it is summertime and we are ready for school time even though we have some fun things planned Owen is not convinced that he wants summer. He was ready to start his day and that meant he woke around two. He was agitated but at least he let me sleep for a couple more hours and no screaming.

He had big plans for all his days ahead but today he knew he was going to his grandma’s house in the morning, then music therapy, and his vision therapy. We were going to the park but it was way too hot for that. On the way to his grandma’s house, he wanted to make sure I didn’t forget he has a dentist appointment in November. I hope we don’t have to reschedule it. He also pointed out to me where we got our new car a few years ago and that he wants me to trade in our car for a black one like his best friend’s family has. I told him I couldn’t do that right now.

He had a lot of fun with his grandma and I picked up Tudors for him before his therapy. His music therapist said he did fantastic. He seemed so much calmer to me after he went to camp. He was able to do new things with her and talked about what they did. On the way home he was talking about the wrong color pants different people were wearing over the last few days. He said, “I hate their pants.” It felt like progress because he expressed his emotions and then we were able to talk about his emotions.

We were home for a little while and then we went to his vision therapy. He told me his doctor would be happy. I said I hoped so and he said he would behave. He told me he wanted Chick-fil-A for dinner. I said we don’t get to have something every day and he said today we do.

He did so well. A did a little too much talking about gum but he did all the exercises and threw the ball back to her without instructions. We were both in shock. It was great. She has a ball with letters. He caught it with one hand, found the letter she wanted him to find very quickly, and then threw it to her before we even knew what was happening. He probably did it close to ten times. It was so cool. He sat on the trampoline for a bit but then did the exercises. It was another good appointment and I was thankful.

I was happy he had a calm day. He ate his chicken nuggets and fries. He was pretty tired since he had been up since two so I pray tonight he sleeps. He doesn’t know that he is going to our friend’s house tomorrow while I go to my infusion. I didn’t want to tell him so hopefully he would sleep better. He laughed a lot, played music, and wanted to play games. It was another exhausting day but it makes me so happy when he is in a good mood. Let today be your day for victory. Smiles to all and donut daze!

    I'm Lynn Browder. Owen's Mommy. The best moments in time are when I get to see the smile on his face and that giggle come from his heart.
