It was an early morning for us but when you have a lot on your mind you want to go go go and he needed to be awake. Thankfully there was no screaming though but tablet time was what he wanted. He let me sleep a little longer. I was too tired to try to convince him to go back to sleep. I kept reminding myself at least he stayed calm.
He was off to school with even more things on his mind. He couldn’t wait for his day and to do arts and crafts with his best friend in December. He went into great detail again after telling me several times over the last few hours about sharing their supplies and working together on their projects. I love how he was thinking it all through.
His teacher said he had a good day. He talked to me calmly the whole way to therapy. I didn’t take his tablet with us. I’m trying to work with him on conversations and when to use his tablet. Or maybe I’m working on me and when I should be giving him his tablet hoping it will help his behavior. He knows he has to behave if he wants his tablet tonight. As much as I think he has a lot from his tablet I also think he needs to regulate himself when it comes to using it as well. It will come though. He was plotting all the things we would be doing after therapy and then of course he said he wanted to go straight home.
He only had one session today but he talked a lot about what his therapists would be wearing next week. I told him to focus on today. He said, “Thank you for following dewreckshings” emphasizing each part of the word “directions” in his little southern accent. He went back to wondering what his one therapist would be wearing today. He did well at therapy and wanted to go by the bridge flags and a church in our neighborhood for his reward. He likes the reflection in the windows.
I talked to him about focusing on good behaviors instead of bad behaviors. I asked him if he could tell me what good behavior was and he said, “You have to listen” and he followed it up with “No licking someone’s head.” I thought that was great that he was able to go through both sides.
He mostly listened on the way home except telling me how to run a light. He has plans for all the stoplights and he doesn’t want to stop at any of them. He planted himself in my bed as soon as we got home with his tablet and that’s that. He keeps telling me he is getting my bed so I guess he thinks he is taking it over. He was under the blanket making it like a fort. It was barely afternoon and he was yawning so that is good but hopefully, it translates to sleep all night.
He took his bath and usually, I have to tell him it’s time to get out. Not tonight. He jumped out of the bathtub and said, “I’m done.” It felt like more progress. His allergies seemed to be in overdrive tonight so hopefully he will be feeling better in the morning. Sleep happened quickly and I pray he sleeps all night. His laughter is absolutely the best. Be joyful and follow your heart. Smiles to all and donut daze!
