He kept talking about all his blue pants people but then he listed each one and said he was sorry. I think yesterday was still heavy on his mind. His emotions were hard and having a meltdown can be exhausting and draining for him. The morning went fast and he seemed to be processing being able to see everyone he wanted to see over the next few days.
I was able to get him to wear jeans without him getting upset but he did ask to wear shorts tomorrow. I told him he could but to remember his grandma might wear something different. I wanted him to think through all of the options and I reminded him that others get to choose what they want to wear.
Once he had his jeans on he kept telling me it was going to snow. He associates different clothing with the weather. I believe his blue pants choice all started with a video that talks about selecting clothes based on the weather so now he associates blue pants with snow but I’m not sure why he wants everyone in blue pants besides liking the visual appearance.
He left for school with his headphones on and when he came home he was still wearing them. When he got off the bus he ran to his spot to watch them drive away. Then he came back to me and went through when he would see all his people. I know he was processing who would wear blue pants.
He was very calm all evening but wanted me to know all the answers to all of his questions. He asked about his week ahead, knowing he had Monday and Tuesday off. He also kept asking about yoga. I’m sure he heard me talking to our instructor that we would be back again this weekend but I didn’t confirm it with him. Sometimes too many details derail our sleep. I loved hearing him laugh when he asked Siri to translate all the different phrases. Share your smile with someone and watch how it changes the world. Smiles to all and donut daze!
