Sleeping until five is a victory and sleeping until after five is even better. I was close to waking up at five and Owen awoke after. He had a mission for the day but today I wanted a reset and for him to have a calm day. I hoped that would help.

He had a very calm morning and was very expressive. I love days when his words are used to explain what he wants and then he moves forward. He talked about all his shoes and he was disappointed I hadn’t ordered him white shoes yet. I am so amazed at how he is deciding he wants things now. When you go years and your child never asks for anything and then they asks for items they truly want it is amazing.

We went out to wait for the bus and he is doing a little different pattern. I am so thankful for his bus drivers and aides for both the morning and the afternoon. They truly support my son and they care about his day. He saw the bus and waited back instead of running towards me before the bus turned the corner. He calmly walked to the bus like he hadn’t just been bowled over with excitement that it was coming. I love his love for the bus.

He came home knowing about the Special Olympics on Friday. He told me he didn’t want me to go and then he told me he wanted me to go. Then he told me he wanted his grandma to go and then he told me he didn’t want her to go. Then he told me he was sick and had to go to his doctor on Friday because he was sick today but couldn’t go today because I would come to the Special Olympics on Friday so I had to go to his doctor on Friday while he went to the Special Olympics. Then he told me that he hoped his friends could go and wanted his other friend back from vacation so he could go. So I’m not sure what exactly he wants for Friday but it’s on his mind.

He generally has a hard time when I go to certain places he thinks he should be doing with others. Like the Special Olympics is something he does with his school and if I come to the event then he thinks he has to leave and doesn’t want to stay. I want him to enjoy it so I would rather not go and let him have fun with his class. One day maybe this will change. He is getting closer to understanding that we can do things with others in different places so maybe one day it will be where he wants me to be there.

The night was calm and he was excited about school tomorrow and possibly going to his grandma’s house. He talked about the bus and he wanted to go to the library with his grandma tomorrow so we will see what he decides he wants to do when he gets home. I’m thankful for Owen’s progress and the amazing way he thought through his Friday. Time will tell but today his words were full of life. Life is a story worth telling. Find the beautiful moments and let your story be written. 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.
