Spectacular Sunday - our autism journey

Owen came to me after five and proclaimed “Not upper night.” I was happy about this. Thankfully I only woke up once last night and this infusion is going better than the last one. Food doesn’t taste good and I’m tired but otherwise, I feel like I am winning the race.

He was very happy when he woke up. I was happy to see his bright smile. He came to get his tablet. I said, “I love you.” He said, “I love you Mommy” and off he ran. He immediately started asking his tablet for different videos he wanted to watch. I love how he uses the voice-activated option to pull up the videos.

Next up was the breakfast that he devoured and then a second breakfast quickly followed. Definitely a growing boy. It’s hard to believe that he will be thirteen next year. I look at all the progress he is making and I know that over the next few years, so many more connections will be made.

He was ready for church and excited to see his people. I love how he loves with all his heart. He was sad one of his friends wasn’t feeling well today but he hoped he would be there next week feeling better and “not broken.”

We came home after church and ate our lunch. Lunch seemed to flow into dinner and eating was the name of the game today. He was so incredibly calm and the day flew by. He didn’t repeat himself as much today. I have been working with him on the reward system. If he keeps moving forward without repeating what he already knows and tells me something new he can play with his tablet otherwise we talk it out. This seems to be helping with his focus.

I’m thankful for how well Owen did today and how I’m feeling. He is ready for school tomorrow and all that this week ahead holds. There’s beauty in a Sunday from start to finish. Seek the moments that make you happy and allow your heart to be in the moments of joy. Let today be a new shining light in your days to come. Smiles to all and donut daze!

The laughter that makes my heart happy comes from this amazing smiley boy!

    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.
