It was almost all night before Owen remembered he wanted to make sure he was going to see his teacher. He came to me around four asking what his day would hold. He was in a good mood though because he knew he was going to his favorite places today. I slept about as well as I have been lately.
It is amazing how he cycles through the videos he watches. Years will go by and he will start watching ones that he hasn’t seen in quite some time. It is interesting how he can find them so quickly and start watching them again like he hasn’t missed a beat. He takes my hand and moves my finger to select items on his tablet and then giggles and hides his face. He laughs hysterically and does it again. This is also something he used to do when he was younger and started doing it again.
I can tell how hard he is working on saying his letters and sentences. He said, “Sit on the mat” instead of “map.” I was so excited when I heard him say it. At school, it is one of the activities that he tells me he does a lot but would always tell me he “sat on the map.” We got ready for school and we went out to wait for the bus. He was off and he was happy.
I picked him up for therapy had a good day at school, and did fine with fine with his therapist but he still wanted to talk to the one about her clothes choices. She said he was all over the place with emotions but didn’t cry. He was calm in the car and on the way home though. I feel like he is starting to connect more to emotions and how others are feeling as well. I think that is part of the reason he is laughing so much for me now.
He went through his list. He said, “No more elementary school you’re in middle school you are brilliant you got this you’re brilliant you are in middle school now.” He is getting it. I always tell him he is so brilliant he’s got this. I like how he went between “you are” and “you’re.”
He has been in sensory overload lately and processing everything that is happening with his body. He has been jumping a lot more and beating his foot on the floor. These are both things he did a lot more when he was younger and I think he is doing them now that he is in a growth spurt.
Do you know what tomorrow is and he said, “Valentine’s Day.” He went on to talk about their party at school and that they would have pizza and hearts. I love that he is telling me details about his day. I dreamed of these moments and here they are.
Bath time was long but he decided he wanted to get out so he could “lay in the white bed before bed.” He got in my bed and covered himself with the green blanket that was now on it more and the white blanket. He laughed so much and was full of interactions with me that I kept giving him more time before he needed to go to his bed. His laughter is the best and now that he has made the connection to how much I love it he does it even more. This makes it even more amazing. I will never forget these moments. The best gift is when someone does something for you because they know it brings you pure joy and you love it. For him to make this connection is more than I could have ever asked for. Make someone happy and watch how it changes your life. Smiles to all and donut daze!
