Hyper about covers it. Owen slept all night and was more than ready for his day. Bypassing the bathroom he came straight to me for his tablet. I said my good mornings to him and sent him back to the bathroom. He was quickly back to retrieve his tablet and take my blanket as his own.
He wanted me to play his game. He wasn’t taking no for an answer. I try to remind him he is the one that wants to play it but for some reason, I always end up playing at least one game. He was talking about his best friend the whole time and wanted to know if he would be at school. Oh, how I wish I could get him to understand I could not possibly know if he would be there.
I wore black pants which sent him into the wetting his hand with his spit mode and trying to get me to change my pants by putting it on me. He didn’t have a meltdown or scream but he is elevated again about what we are wearing. We worked on his relaxation technique and when I got to the sounds he told me he heard a Tyrannosaurus rex. He was excited about seeing the bus to take him to some of his favorite people and off he went wanting to make sure I would wear blue pants when we got home. I told him I would change when we came home.
I picked him up from school for therapy. It will be interesting how the summer will change all this for us or if it will change it at all. It feels like he is processing that he will be going to his new school for the new school year but he isn’t ready for summer at all. He is however ready to swim every day so that will be something we can try to do during the break.
I am thankful he will be going to summer school but it’s only for three weeks. It feels like a wonderful opportunity and also something extremely hard. It seems like he just gets started in the routine of a different school and then he is done with the experience so it is hard when it is over. He has been to the school many times but it is still such a short time.
The car ride thankfully was calm but he was still very hyper about his day. I have been trying the new relaxation technique with him for a week and it doesn’t feel like he is connecting to it but he is at least doing it so that’s a distraction. I feel like I am going to need to try a different approach because he at least makes some connections to different techniques but this one doesn’t seem to be helping. I will continue to try it for a while but then move on.
I’m thankful for his progress and how far he has come. He was yawning from the minute I picked him up at school so I’m hoping that translates to sleep tonight. Let today be your stepping stone for an amazing tomorrow. Smiles to all and donut daze!
