The meeting to find out if the school will do partial day/week schooling for Justin is Friday. I hope we come to some sort of conclusion with this whole ordeal. It becomes quite frustrating with half the year already over.
It's a constant jumping through hoops.
Justin is doing very well. He has discovered Christmas music, which he plays over and over on his tablet. He sings and hums non-stop.
Over the last couple weeks he started doing things he knew were a no-no. Like climbing onto the fish tank to play in the water. Or, hopping the kitchen gate and flooding out the kitchen. He has also been climbing and getting in to things he knows he's not supposed to.
We are hoping we'll be able to put up a Christmas tree this year.

Out and About
We took Justin out with us for the first time in a long time. We went to our favorite chinese restaurant, Target, and home. He did so great ! (Pic's to follow soon.)
At Target he got to see his occupational therapist, who we ran into.
Than we got into the car, and the meltdown started. It lasted all the way home, all 45 minutes of it.
He ended the ordeal with a super bubble bath. Which made him feel all better.

Swimming
Justin absolutely loves water, but for the last couple of years he would not want to get into the pool.
We have a four foot above ground pool. Once he got over the ladder, he would start crying and try to get back out.
This year, we tried it again.
The rest of us were already in the pool. Justin was playing in a little blue pool. He ran over to the big pool, climbed up the ladder and than ran back.
He proceeded to do this 3 more times. Each time getting closer to the water, until during the last couple of times he put his hand into the water.
Finally, he went over the top of the ladder. I picked him up, and slowly put him into the water. Once he was used to the water, we put him in a swimming ring that would hold him above the water.
He loved it !
I was so proud of him !
By letting him do it in his timing, and his way he over came his fear of the big pool.
