Today felt like a rollercoaster ride. The morning started off great, then Owen had a rocky ride to school, and came home happy. My day was the same. My heart always aches when my sweet baby O is hurting.
He slept until five, claiming once again he had “slept upper night” and then started talking about his expectations for the day before he even got his tablet. He was calm and happy. Sunday was a big topic for discussion and he sure hopes his best friend comes to the trunk or treat. He moved on to school and seeing his grandma tomorrow. I was up by two and couldn’t go back to sleep but I was feeling ok once I got up.
We went out to wait for the bus and once again he wanted to “lay down lay down” on the ground before the bus got here. He was in such a good mood. He had to ask a couple of times about his friend before he got on the bus but he was ready to get to school.
The bus aide let me know that Owen was upset because they got stuck in traffic. He cannot handle the traffic especially when it is at a complete stop. Tears flow as I think about all his emotions and it’s hard for me to even write. He couldn’t process it all and was kicking and screaming amongst other things. I can’t even process it all because my heart aches for my sweet baby O. I’m thankful for an aide who handled it all so well. She wasn’t upset with him and tried to help calm him. She just wanted me to know what had happened. When my son goes off to school I am always thankful for the people who give their all to care for him and treat him with respect and understanding.
When he came home and got off the bus he raced to wait in his spot for the bus to honk at him. He then came running back to me. I told him I was sorry he had a rough morning on the bus and that he was upset. He gave me a big, long hug and then put his forehead down for me to kiss it. He let go and did it two more times before we walked inside. I was once again moved by all the emotions he was showing and how he processed it all.
He was calm the rest of the night. He would occasionally talk about his days ahead but he did scream about them. I know today was emotional but I can see incredible progress. He is ready to get this weekend going and I pray he sleeps through the night. Cherish the smiles from those you hold close to your heart and let those smiles be your guide for tomorrow. Smiles to all and donut daze!
