Pick Tuesday - our autism journey

We both slept a little later than yesterday but I sure wish we could sleep more. Owen woke up in a good mood but I could tell he was biting his mouth again. I was feeling pretty good this morning just a little tired.

He was doing good about not repeating words. He would start and I would remind him that he would lose his tablet if he kept it up so he quickly stopped. He has been a little more agitated the last couple of days but I know it is the countdown to school starting.

I can tell the dude is growing again because he is power eating through the food. I love that he is requesting all the food he wants. This is something that I have waited a long time for. He has been requesting more foods over the last few years but now it seems like he is always requesting the foods he wants. I always make him try a bite of new foods. I want him to try different things. He generally will say he doesn’t like something but I will try it again at a later time too.

We got ready and went to his dentist appointment. He was very patient as we waited. He saw someone leave and he started waving goodbye to them. It makes me so happy to see him waving. This was a skill that we had been working on for years. I love watching him use a skill without any directions from me. He did amazing with his dentist. He told her he wanted her to “count his Spider-Man teeth” and he wanted he to use the “Scooby-Doo toothpaste.” He is getting one of his back morals in so I know that is why his teeth are “cranky.” I’m so proud of how he handles going to the dentist.

On the way home we stopped and picked up dinner. He was telling me all kinds of things on our adventure. He said he was going to see Santa soon. I asked him what he wanted Santa to bring him for Christmas. He said, “Chocolate pudding.” I always laugh at the things he comes up with. He doesn’t like chocolate pudding.

He started talking about school on Friday and he told me that the bus is going to high school in September. I never imagined even though I should have known that telling him after he goes to middle school he would start high school would cause him to think he would only be at middle school for a short time. I had told him he would be there for three years and then move to high school but he is only focused on moving to the next school part.

I’m thankful for a good day. He was very patient today and focused on what he wanted. He has grown so much and I can tell he is applying so many of his new skills. He went to his bed and then he got back up and came to my room. He crawled into my arms and told me he loved me and we were staying home tomorrow. He knows we are going to meet his teacher but it's hard for him to understand since school doesn't start until Friday. His laugh and that amazing smile warmed my heart. Be inspired by the world around you and know that your smile can change the world. 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.
