Owen mostly slept but listened when I said it was not five o’clock. It was so close but four o’clock in the morning still isn’t a time I’m ready for the wakeup call. It took two times but then he stayed in bed until 5:30. He was pretty calm when he came to me but was very ready for his day to get going and hoping everyone would be dressed to the blues. He doesn’t want people dressed to the nines he wants them dressed to the blues. He was also happy he was going to see his chiropractor.
We had a great morning with lots of questions about our day but he couldn’t wait to get ready. It was our breakfast morning with the “church ladies” as Owen calls them. This was his second planned breakfast with them and I was so thrilled that he was excited about going to breakfast with them. Having a child who never wanted to go anywhere to then making breakfast plans is my little miracle in life. I thank God for how far he has come and that these beautiful amazing people embrace my son in his growth.
He did well. It was a nice time. One of the ladies didn’t wear blue pants but he handled it. I am actually glad she didn’t because he needs to understand this and he was able to talk through it. My little planner has even planned his next breakfast with them and he has other plans for all of them through next year.
We came home for a few minutes and then we were off to his appointment. He was seeing a new therapist there and then the doctor. He was handling the change fine and was excited to meet her. I was very proud of how incredibly well he did. She was very patient and calm with him. He then saw the doctor and he was thrilled to see him. I love that he can tell me now how much this has helped him.
On the way home he wanted to go the long way home and stop at one of his favorite places. Unfortunately for me, it did not agree with me at all but luckily it Owen did not get sick from it. Thankfully I was feeling better and we had a better evening. He wanted to sit in the “white bed” with me and we played lots of games.
For having the day off in the middle of the week for a teacher in-service day he did amazing. We worked on a lot of his skills today. I play Eye Spy with him trying to get him spatially aware of his surroundings. He has a hard time when I say open the refrigerator and bring me something. If it is not in the exact same place it was before he can’t always find it. I’m trying to get more organized for him but when you put things in the refrigerator they don’t always end up in the same place. He is doing much better about it but gets frustrated very easily because it is a hard task for him. I know he will get it though.
Nighttime came and we said our prayers. He told me what to say and I told him he would have his chances with his own prayer. I love that he has connected with praying and understands that we pray about anything and everything we need to pray about. Walking him to his room has helped tremendously with his repetitive behaviors and has been calming for both of us. He is happy he only has one day off and is ready to get back to school. I pray he sleeps tonight and has a great day tomorrow. I’m thankful for his growth. In sunshine the rain will still fall but find the beauty in the puddles it makes and know the sun will shine again. Smiles to all and donut daze!
