Nearly Saturday - our autism journey

We both woke up with a good attitude. Owen was running around the house and talking up a storm the minute he woke up but I was still watching his tummy. It’s hard when he can’t explain completely how he is feeling so all I can do is watch for signs and see what he does. Since he was still eating and drinking maybe it was something he ate but I was not sure and I’m always extra careful since he can’t tell me.

Robot BeatBos for the win this morning. They were all lined up and performing their duties to the best of their abilities but since they all constantly eat batteries like they are snack foods he tells me how they aren’t working well but he doesn’t want me to put new batteries in them until they only say a few letters of the alphabet. He loves listening to them and the slower they go the more he loves them.

And then came the part he didn’t like and I don’t blame him one bit. After being up for about an hour. He went to the bathroom again several times. I still thought it was probably something he ate because there were no other signs of sickness but I couldn’t take him to see his grandma if it was anything else. He was not impressed with my decision. The screaming started once I told him but I still had to be careful. There are so many bugs going around I didn’t want to take any chances. Thankfully after our morning went by there were no more issues.

I told him that if he showed no more signs of sickness he could see his grandma tomorrow. He told me that he was going on Monday. I told him that was fine but by the afternoon he was reconsidering his words of not going tomorrow. And as the afternoon went on he stuck with wanting to go tomorrow.

If he knows you he probably has prayed for you. Today he randomly prayed for our friend’s Internet to be on at her house. It is always interesting what he prays for. We pray a lot and I tell him that he can pray about anything he is feeling because God will listen. My favorite from today was “dear God thank you for Owen amen.” I said amen to that too.

He was staying pretty calm. A few little things here and there but as to be expected when your day does not go according to plan. He was snacking most of the day so hopefully it is completely out of his system and doesn’t return. He won’t be happy with me if I keep him home tomorrow for any reason.

This morning when he heard the rain he told me that we would have to use the wipers if we went to his grandma’s house today. He was getting wound up to make sure his days ahead go exactly as he expects and by nightfall, he was making sure we were going to church. He said, “If it goes according to plan church tomorrow I will big tell you.” I’m still not quite sure why he says “I will big tell you” and “little tell you” but big and little blue jeans come to mind so maybe there is another pattern there as well.

As we got ready for bed he said, “Pend on how ya feeling go to church then grandma’s house.” I tried to explain to him that I was glad he wasn’t sick but I had to make sure. I’m thankful it wasn’t anything more and I big told him I loved him and we would have a great day tomorrow. He was ready for bed quickly because he was not going to let me spoil his plans for tomorrow and his prayer said so. Through challenges we grow. Today may not have gone according to plan but we grew. Be the plan that helps people grow. 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.
