Cherish Tuesday - our autism journey

The mornings have been going so much better the last few days. It was going to be another exciting day for Owen. He was ready for school and our appointment with our program specialist. Then we were going to dinner with our friend and he was ready to sit under the trees at her house. His new adventure of wanting to shake everything is interesting but when it is his milk glass it’s not exactly my favorite time of the day. Back to closed cups. He was ready to get the day going.

The bins were working well for him. He still wanted to wear the lighter blue jeans so we will see how it goes when he has to wear darker ones tomorrow. He carried his phone around but I think he was still trying to figure out how to put it in his pocket. He is growing so fast. I’m thankful that he is making so many connections to everything.

My stomach nor energy were not as good as yesterday but I am beyond thankful to keep moving forward. I remind myself that it is now none. I have no more infusion so it keeps me going. On the upward trend. Owen can’t wait until I feel better so we can go back to yoga. He is also making big plans to go swimming and bowling with our friends.

The bus app was working but he would still like to be outside for the long wait. He did well though but he was licking and biting everything he could possibly think of to get me going. He thinks that if he does certain behaviors it will get me to move faster but I kept redirecting him and asking him to do different things. That brings out more interesting behaviors but we got to the bus finish line and he was off.

He was home before I knew it. The meeting we had went quickly and he was fine with that. He was excited for us to go to dinner with our friend. He ate a quick snack and then we were off. He only wants to go to “cracker burial” when we meet our friend. I tried to convince him to go someplace else but “nopedy nope” as he says. I will try a different approach for next time.

He had such an incredible time with her. He was giddy when he saw her. We had a great dinner. He could hardly contain himself but she is incredible at finding ways to keep him calm. When we were done with dinner we took her home and he was happy to sit under the tree with her. On the way home he kept asking when we would see her again. Now he wanted his phone because he wanted to take pictures of them singing and sitting under the tree. I will need to get his phone set up again.

I’m thankful for another great day with a sprinkle of interesting behaviors. I can see growth. Each day is a step forward. He fell asleep quickly and I know he was looking forward to school tomorrow. He wanted to make sure we weren’t going anywhere tomorrow. Let the gift of an amazing day give you the strength to face any of the challenges that are set in front of you. 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.
