It was a nice warm day today, so we ceased the opportunity to take a walk and three wagon rides. How amazing it was to see the meditative state Remy was in while riding in the wagon.
We dropped off his sister and went for a little walk before heading home. When we arrived home, he decided to go into the wagon. I pulled him for several blocks then went home to make a tomato soup. He ate as I chopped the veggies, and kept looking at me to give him the soup before it was ready. He said "loop! loop!" (for "soup") so I gave him some again and again. After lunch, we went out for yet another wagon ride for several blocks. We returned home for a washroom break then out again for a ride around the block before taking the car for a little shopping excursion. He was calm and stayed holding my hand throughout all shopping!
While I was pulling him on the wagon, I observed. He was calm, quiet and peaceful just looking out at the trees, houses, birds... of course I'm just guessing because those were the things I looked at. Remy needs constant motion in order to have some calmness. So, while he's in motion feeling the bumps on the pavement and the wind against his face, it seems to me that he does not have to move about (as he does all the time). How can I incorporate this into our daily lives? How do I help to feel the calmness that he needs in order to concentrate on learning?
I really think that the wagon ride did him wonders today. Sometimes it's necessary to take a break from our home program. I want to be in the playroom when I'm clear, and it was an excellent opportunity to get out and just let the calm wind caress our spirits reminding us of peace and tranquility.
Also, I'm happy to announce that there was NO free peeing incidents nor any stripping incidents today :)
Now it's the weekend... hope to find some time to do some necessary prep work for the week ahead.
Thank you again for reading. Make yourselves a wonderful weekend!
