Slowly JJ's reports are coming and the final diagnosis is yet to be determined. He is definetly on the spectrum but there are discrepancies as to where he fits. Reading on paper all of his issues has completley broken me. My little baby boy who is so beautiful is not as he should be and for the first time I am allowing myself to be broken by it. Tears stroll down my face as I realize how different he really is. I cant stop asking why??.
As I ponder why this happened I am reminded of moses who stuttered and how God overcame his biggest obstacle and made him a leader of people who spoke to Kings (Pharoahs). God seems to like to work best in the midst of our weaknesses. As I look at my little boy I wonder "God what are your plans for him?" and I thank God that his mercies are new every morning. I know in my heart of hearts that God choose us to raise JJ. That he has entrusted us with his care and there is purpose in it. May we rise to the occasion and may his mercies follow us as we attempt to raise JJ in the way he should go.

As the onions peeled
I am in the process of registering JJ for kindergarten and he is getting ready to transition to a "typical" preschool with services, to prepare him for school. I am filling out more and more paperwork everyday. Autism questionnaires, Aspbergers surveys, behavioral charts, etc...from my uneducated point of view it is looking like JJ has Aspberger's. The jest being he is really smart with social and sensory impairments.
I am amazed by how much he has grown since Christmas his language skills have improved to the point that he asked me "is Josh your husband", and "he was so happy to see me". He has become incredibly affectionate with Abby, as well as the rest of the family. I have to admit I am looking forward to 5 with him as the onion is peeled we see more and more of who he is and I am amazed by the loving kind person he is. Parts of him reminds me of my brother Jason and cousin Zack loving, committed, honorable human beings. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I look forward to seeing the young man he becomes.
