An update on JR....

A few weeks ago I felt impressed to bear my testimony on the progress that my children have made since we've lived here. I talked mainly about JR because he's the one I am most concerned about progressing because of his disabilities and such. When he was younger I had the strong impression that he need some extra help, speech, ect. We had someone come out once every other week for about a year to our home and work on speech and occupational therapy. Then when he turned three he qualified for preschool (this was harder on me than him) and it has done wonders for him. He has a preschool teacher whom I absolutely love, I really feel like there are people on this earth who have gifts. His preschool teacher has a gift of working with these kinds of children. She noticed that he didn't transition well at all so she made him his own chart and worked with him on it, she told me that it makes him feel empowered and it does! He also couldn't for the longest time think of things on his own and would just whine and fuss so we would have to guess, this was real frustrating for all of us. Now he can tell us what he wants and sometimes get it himself. Just a few weeks ago he was getting on the bus and he was sitting by the window closest to me and he waved with the I LOVE YOU sign on his hand. Of course this made me cry and thank my Heavenly Father for the guidance I have received in helping JR. He has trully made great progress!
