Two days left seemed impossible to believe when we woke up and then I will have a middle schooler. He woke pretty calm compared to yesterday but he was hyper-focused on his tablet and taking it with him to his appointment. He was also extremely focused on riding the bus home.
I was thankful he slept all night but I could tell that he was very elevated and even though he is excited about summer school and then going to middle school everything else is not going to be the routine he needs for the structure he craves.
As much as I feel like he is truly understanding that all of these changes are taking place it is still a lot for him to deal with. I think it is making more sense to him now but it is still very hard for him to not have all his days in place. He loves knowing that he is riding the bus and that he has his routine at school so these days that change is all a process for him.
They had water day at school. I was pretty sure he would not want to participate but I sent his swimsuit with him in case he decided he wanted to. The last couple years it wasn’t something he wanted to do. It is still hard for him to process that he can do water activities at school because school is for school and the pool is for water. His teacher let me know that they showed him everything but when they told him he could go out there for the activities he said no. When he let me go to school with him for his moving up day that was huge for us. I know that one day he will be able to process water day or more activities at school but it is all a process for now.
When he came home from school he knew he was going to his therapy appointment. He was ready to go and he was also ready to misbehave in the car. He is truly trying to figure out how I handle emotions and told me to behave numerous times. He was elevated at his appointment but happy to be there. When we got home he yelled “Sorry Mommy” when he got out of the car and after he said, “We don’t break your hair” but at least they were only words and he didn’t pull my hair.
Hyper was the name of the game today. I can tell he is very anxious about tomorrow being his last day. He is also struggling with the fact that June falls on the weekend. I’m not quite sure why this is an issue but he wants June to be on Friday.
As I sat with him at his appointment I saw the progress he has made and I know that the tomorrows yet to come will be filled with incredible growth. Each day is a journey but together we become stronger through the challenges we face. Be brave in the moment and know that you will succeed. Smiles to all and donut daze!
