The glorious trend of sleep continued for one of us. Owen slept all night again. Now if I could sleep all night that would be a miracle. He was full of himself when he woke up and his saying “laughing like a boy” made him laugh even harder. He told me he “slept upper night” and he was a big boy.
He did not want to go anywhere during school or after school. He told me that we needed to go to Bob Evans though and listed all his people that he wanted to go but somehow staying home was still the alternative. He told me that we all need to follow directions. I thought that was funny since you know who doesn’t always follow directions.
We got ready and he was off to school and I was off to an appointment. He reminded me he was going to school and then staying home. We had a busy week last week full of appointments and plans so I think that is hard for him when he doesn’t always feel in control of his days even though he likes everything he does.
He got off the bus and immediately said he was not going to the Special Olympics. I told him it was over but he was stuck on that for a few minutes. I never know what connection he is thinking about and how that is connecting to the moment we are in. He was at least calm and I was thankful for that.
The dude came home with plans or at least talking about plans. He was very busy planning his big social event. He wanted to invite all his people to go to the park with him tomorrow. He listed everyone’s names with his added flair at the end of each one of them. Like his Grandma is “Grandma no more string pants” and his list included “she’s going to wear what she wants to wear,” “sometimes wears blue pants,” “wears blue shorts blue shoes,” “listens,” and “if he is cranky.” He went through all this and I knew most likely by the end of the day he would say he wanted to stay home. I think it is the overwhelming sensation of being overwhelmed.
In true O fashion I’m confused with what he wants to do tomorrow. His back and forth method of deciding and not deciding got me to figure out we are not going tomorrow to the park or anywhere unless he changes his mind again. He told me “The character in the story said no they are not going to the park.” He continued “They will all have to go together another day unless they go to the church park with the yellow slide that will shock you.” I guess there was a “the end” at that point. I found it very amusing how he phrased it all and basically wrote a book in this story format for his explanation. My little genius in action.
The closer it got to bed he was upset because he didn’t want to go to the park tomorrow but he kept telling me he didn’t want to go to the park tomorrow. I think it overwhelms him to think about it even though he wants to do everything so it makes it hard on him. He was calm about not going until I think he realized he wrote the story with an ending he wanted but wished he could go even though I think it was overwhelming for him to imagine.
His last thoughts on what he wanted to go do include two more dinner places after the library and seeing Santa and the fish. The dude has big plans now if we can find a way to get him to do some of them. I’m thankful for his progress and for how much he cares for all his people. He is becoming quite the conversationalist and I’m loving every minute of it. Rejoice in knowing that tomorrow is a brand new day. Let yesterday go and focus on the good stuff tomorrow. Smiles to all and donut daze!
