The older he gets the more I see how hard things can be on him and when anything is not where he needs it to be that makes it even tougher. The one thing I am not is organized. The one thing I need to be is organized. I moved some things, my things because they were in the way and it completely interrupted his walking pattern. Now he keeps stomping the floor so he can feel the vibrations but it is so different for him. Instead of him walking through a section of our house once he now goes back and forth numerous times.
When he got home he was in a pretty good mood but still checking on his days. It’s interesting how many sounds he is making again. Like the eeee sound and him mimicking a car driving. I don’t know if it is because he isn’t wearing the headphones or other reasons but he is doing them a lot more. He has made the eeee sound since he was little. I think it is just one of his comforting sounds and the other sounds he has learned from so many other sources.
He started asking about his summer school teacher from last year and wanted to make sure he wouldn’t see her again. It is amazing how many people he asks about on a daily basis, some I haven’t thought about in years. He doesn’t want anything to happen to his routine.
I had the wrong bunny ears on but otherwise calm for the rest of the evening until it was bedtime. He had been wanting to take a bath but wouldn’t get ready so I just let him play. He got mad that I wouldn’t let him take one right when it was bedtime. I told him he could take one in the morning but he was screaming about it. I didn’t give in to the screams though. I wanted him to know that he should have listened to me earlier when he kept asking for one. He gets focused on something else and won’t listen even if he wants something. He went to bed and was asleep in minutes.
He told me when he got home from school he wanted to go to Burger King but then he told me to the park and have pizza. As soon as he said it he took his clothes off and said he wanted to stay home and go tomorrow. We will see what he says tomorrow. I’m thankful he was calm for the most part tonight and we had a good day. Hopefully, we will both sleep tonight. Be in the moment and be in the light. Each day is a gift. Smiles to all and donut daze!
