Stinker Day

Justin has been being a little stinker today. He has decided to spit his juice in not only one place but several.

He has not given up the Christmas music. He plays it on his tablet, and puts it into his dump truck and runs around the room.

He has taken a liking to his sisters roller skates. She will hold his hand while he goes around the room.

Justin also likes lying in front of the fireplace.

His love of water is still running strong.

Christmas

We all had a wonderful time during the holiday season ! Justin did great with not touching the Christmas tree or ornaments. This was a big accomplishment as we have not been able to have one for the last two years because of Justin touching it.

We had several other lights and decorations throughout the house, he loved them all.

He would plug in the lights for the christmas tree every morning. He really enjoyed lying or sitting next to the tree with the lights on.

He would say, " Merry Christmas" all the time and sing several Christmas carols. He was playing them on his tablet well before Thanksgiving actually.

Christmas morning was a wonderful time for Justin.

He was so excited seeing and opening his presents from santa.

His favorite toy was an electronic ride on toy that sings loud music as it drives around.
Pics and videos coming soon !

Justin Did Not Start School

Justin did not start school last Tuesday. After thinking about it, and discussing it with my family. None of us where comfortable with having him go for full day school.

Really, I was caught off guard at the meeting where we discussed it.

You know, I have been jumping through the schools hoops for 4 months now.

I felt blindsided at that meeting. I thought we were all on the same page, and than suddenly I'm feeling like I'm having to defend why I'm not comfortable with throwing Justin into full time schooling. I just wasn't prepared for it.

The other thing that I wasn't prepared for was Justin's behavior, see he was at that meeting. He heard everything we were talking about. After we got home he started acting out and misbehaving.

Doing things he had never done before like hitting his siblings, doing things intentionally wrong, he was angry and would make an angry growling noise, and he would burst out in tears.

As a mother, I could not ignore those signs. After we talked with him about it, we told him if he didn't want to go he didn't have to, he said "Good." Later that day his older brother asked him," Justin, do you want to go to school" to which he replied "No."

Because nothing can just be a simple adjustment, now we must set another meeting.
Oh the endless meetings.
