So much time has flown by since I have last updated and this time a I have a couple of pictures to post. Justin does not like his pictures taken, so it is hard to get good ones of him. Justin started preschool a few weeks ago. He is an IED student. So he gets speech therapy and OT therapy at school. I also have him in private speech and ot therapy. He is struggling a lot with speech. I can understand about 50% of what he says, strangers can understand about 10%. I am just happy that he is trying to learn. The first year he refused to try. As a dear friend told me, that was his silent year. Which is common in some adopted children. He is doing very well in school. Whatever they do, the wear him out. He comes home hungry and exhausted. I haven't figured out how an easy way to make it through the day. He is use to getting a nap in the afternoon, but now he is at school during that time.
Okay, the pictures I am about to post are of his first day of school. He is waiting for the bus to come and pick him up. The hair cut, well that is due to grandpa Akers. That is what we get for leaving him alone with grandpa! Don't worry the hair cut only lasted 2 weeks.
