Once I fell asleep I slept well but it was well after midnight before I could even fall asleep. Owen slept all night and was very calm when he came to me. He was ready for his whole day which included “Night Santa” and seeing all his people at school. He listed several other things and then was off with his tablet to play.
We looked at his book that his teacher made and he went through the days until he would see her again. I could tell he was processing it all. We got ready and went out to wait for the bus. He once again asked me when he would see his teacher. I reminded him he was seeing her today.
Owen got home and he said all the steps he would go through until next Monday so he can “walk in the road” to get to the bus. To say the least, he is ready to go back to school. He told me he hoped he would see all his friends when we went to see “Night Santa.“ I tried to explain to him I was pretty sure we wouldn’t see his friends though.
We ate dinner and got ready to go. On the way there he told me I needed to get a faster car and get in the speed lane. He kept telling me “faster faster” and he wanted me to switch lanes. He got to see “Night Santa” and then once he saw him he was ready to go. He told me back to the car. He wasn’t as concerned on that way home with my speed. He wanted to go by burger boy on the way home and talked about it the whole way there.
Once we got home he started talking about when he would see his teacher. I brought out the book to show him again but this time he screamed. I am starting to think that when he can’t make his mind settle he has to repeat things like it is part of his stimming to comfort himself. Seeing something in black and white overwhelms him when he has to go through the process. Once he asked me about “December two-second” he then took his book and put it back on the table.
It is a lot for him to process and deal with. He is learning how to handle it all and he has come so far. He is ready to see his grandma tomorrow and I know they will have a great time. I pray for a great week ahead and that Owen will have a fabulous fall break. Praying brings calm to me in the face of so many storms. Let your heart be joyful and be the light for someone else. Smiles to all and donut daze!
