Sleep, happiness, bus, people, and all his days ahead made for one excited sweet baby O. I’m glad he is processing school better and that sleep has found us again even if it is for a couple of days.

He got up, went to the bathroom, and came to get his tablet. He was very calm again talking to me about everything even though he still had an anxiousness about his words. Under his blanket, he went. I figure I might as well call it his blanket because he has pretty much taken it over.

He was not as happy with his pant choice this morning but I want to continue to mix them up. As much as I wish he could always wear the exact same pants he wants I need him to keep moving forward with it. It is hard to find all of the same styles and color of jeans as he grows and I don’t want it to be something that causes him to have meltdowns if something happens to one of his pairs. Plus I have to overthink it all.

Once we got outside the color of his pants quickly moved from his mind and he was excited to watch for the bus. He couldn’t wait to go to school and see his people. The bus turned the corner and he got on the bus. He stood talking for a moment to the bus driver and the aide. I always wondered what he will say to them or do once he gets on the bus.

He came home and I thought I might convince him to go do something but he was not convinced about that and quickly changed. I was so proud of how he handled yesterday I wasn’t going to make him go anywhere today if he didn’t want to and we were supposed to have storms so I was glad we stayed home.

He knew his regular bus driver wasn’t going to drop him off on Friday but he went through the whole thing telling me that he would and wanted me to confirm it. I told him that he knew who was bringing him home and he had to accept it. He then started saying the name of the other bus driver that would bring him home. That felt maybe like progress.

The eating machine was in full motion once again and it didn’t stop until bedtime. I love seeing him with such a great appetite. He was still pretty calm but he was not interested in listening to any of my instructions. Some days go like that. I’m thankful for his progress and his calmer attitude. Victories are won through challenges we accept and conquer. Life is what you make it so let’s make it grand. 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.
