Science Experiment

Last night while doing Justus' reading homework, which was about plants, there was a little experiment that involved colored water and a celery stalk.  Justus was really excited to try it to find out what would happen, and since he was so excited about it there way no way we couldn't do it.  Thankfully I already had everything we needed so that made it easier.  So before bed we put the celery in some blue water...and when we got up this morning the leaves were turning blue.  Justus wasn't too impressed, but I'm glad that he was excited about it.

In other Justus news, today we had his consultation with the school in St. Louis.  It went really well.  I had to fill out some evaluations and am sending some to school for his teacher tomorrow.  She said her initial concern was Justus' lack of communication and language skills....something I have also been concerned about.  She recommended another evaluation to see what was going on in that area, but said we should wait until we get the results from this evaluation in case something showed up in this one.  Now we are just waiting until Justus' teacher sends in her forms and the school can look over and evaluate his situation.  I am so thankful to have started the process and am looking forward to meeting with the school in a couple weeks.
