The early trend continued and I hadn’t even told Owen we were meeting his grandma so she could take him to school since I had an early appointment. He was up once again sometime before four wanting to start his day. This week has been full of appointments, activities, and changes and all of those affect his sleep. He was so happy once he found out that his grandma was taking him to school. He also couldn’t stop talking about how happy he was about going to the dentist.
He went to Google Earth and pulled up the field where they do the Special Olympics and said, “I don’t have to go there anymore.” I told him that he did not have to go to the event if he did not want to be told me “I’m a big boy stay at school.” I am beginning to think that not only is it that he wants to be at school for the routine but also because it is too much for him when he goes places and it is sensory overload. I have learned if he doesn’t want to do something there is no convincing him and this feels like something he is doing so that he feels more in control of situations and I can understand that.
We got ready and headed to meet his grandma. He had been talking to me all morning about how excited he was to meet his grandma, go to school, have Mommy pick him up, and go to the dentist. Plus, there was lots of horse talk. I’m so thankful he is excited about it and I’m praying it all translates to him having a wonderful time with the horses.
I picked him up from school and he was beyond excited to go to the dentist so she could count his teeth. He wanted to go a specific way so that we could drive by the high school he was not going to so he could see if the boy that lives in another state that he has never met was at the school that neither of them is going to. His brain never ceases to amaze me with what it comes up with.
We got to his appointment and they let us know the dentist was running behind. My little talking companion kept me very busy so the time passed quickly. He wanted me to find the elf on the jet ski in his game but every time I moved forward he pulled my hand off his game. It’s always it’s always interesting how he wants me to play but he doesn’t want me to do anything besides exactly the moves he wants me to do.
When we went back to see the dentist he was beyond thrilled. She is the most patient and kind person and truly cares. She includes him in all the steps and makes sure he knows what is happening. He talked to her the whole time and even told her about reading to the horses. She said his teeth looked amazing and there were no problems at all. He didn’t want to leave and sat there for quite some time before he would get up. He asked to go back in May when his teeth would be “cranky” again. I told him we didn’t have to come back until his next checkup in November unless his teeth didn’t feel good. He said again they would be cranky in May. He will do anything to get back to his people. I’m thankful he loves going and it isn’t hard for him when we are there, most of the time.
He wanted to go to Tudors for dinner but they were closed so we got Chick-fil-A and he was extremely happy when we got home. He ate all his dinner and then took his bath. After that, it went a little sideways with screaming because I didn’t go directly to my bed. Sometimes I feel like I’m the kid. He stopped screaming and went to bed. Sleep happened quickly and I pray that he sleeps past five. I set up his new clock but he isn’t looking at it yet to make sure what time it is. I pray he will soon. I’m thankful for happy teeth and them not being cranky. Celebrate your victories no matter how big or small, celebrate them all. Smiles to all and donut daze!
