JoJo's last day

Friday was JoJo's last day of school. I was a mess trying to hold back my tears the whole time. It's so hard to take him away from people who I know love him. He really has done some great things thanks to these great people at the Rackers center. He will wash his hands, dry them, brush his teeth, eat at a table, use pictures to request what he wants, he has learned how to ride a trike, take off his shirt, pants, socks, and shoes, and much more. JoJo really loves them.Here are some of this great teachers at a little party they had for him.
Trying to get him to smile.
This is JoJo's teacher Alisa
One of the girls in his class came and gave JoJo a big hug. Another cute little girl started to cry and said her heart hurt because Joseph was moving. It was so sweet.
The class is having a little party for JoJo and watching a movie.
More of the party
They got JoJo a present and this is him opening it.
They got him a Ithaca is Gorges shirt! So cute.

Congrats to Jo Jo on all of his accomplishments!! That is so cute that they threw him a party and got him a present. Love the shirt! I bet his teachers are going to miss him. Who doesn't love that cutest face of his?! I'm really jealous of your trip to NYC! So fun. I'm sure it was so nice to take a trip without the kids and have some alone time. I had no idea Legally Blonde was a broadway show. Cute pictures of you guys! I love your scarf Abbs! Such a fashionista!

Joseph had such an amazing group of teachers! You can tell they genuinely care about him -what more could you ask for? And that made MY heart hurt about that little girls comment! Very sweet. I hope you find just as great care in AZ for him!!
