Time for Class!

Jaden seems to take to class rather well and has also warmed up to both his therapists.

Although they are his therapists, I rather he refer to them as teachers and his friends who comes over to play and teach him what he has to know.

This week, whenever the therapists come over, he will lead them straight to class, as if he wants the class to start immediately. Just too bad in a way, the therapists have to take about 5 minutes to themselves to prepare the room for him the way they think would work best for Jaden and also to read up on the previous observation notes the other therapists wrote down from previous session.

I am quite happy today as his report shows that he made some progress or at least some initiatives in imitating and instructions' section. Out of 4 trials, he succeeded in doing 2 on his own. Yay! Little things like these really make me happy!

Jaden seems to look forward to all his classes, and would really kick up a fuss when its his breaktime. He does not even want breaktime.. I hope this passion of his carry on.. its good to be passionate about learning!

I hope that we would be able to see some progress at least in about 3 months, but I am not going to pressure Jaden. Just let him accept the knowledge at his own comfortable pace.. slow and steady!! =)

CONGRATULATIONS



to both group of my friends on both different joyous occasion!

ONE:

IzGrace

on their marriage -oh how Simon and I have waited for this very day for both of you!










TWO:

SharonSer and Cheah

on the arrival of their little bouncy 3.5kg baby girl!!


I did not plan it!

I did not do it! I mean.. I did not plan it! nothing of that sort.. no way! It just happened!

as I was going down the travellator with Jaden, asking him to stand properly and telling him its important for me to hold his hand when I saw it.

My heart then went "DUP DUP! DUP DUP! DUP DUP!".. it almost jumped right out of me and I have to keep my cool and well, was thinking if I should just make a U-turn or head on home as planned..

I did not even bother looking back. Because if I did, I know for sure, my conscience will start to go to work.. so I just carried on the second plan of mine - head home.

Calmly paid for my parking, put on the seat belt for Jaden. lock the car doors and drove home...

but deep inside, there is a voice telling me and it is still ringing in my ears this very moment while I am typing this "Karma is a bitch! Karma is a bitch! What have you done Emily Loo??? Karma is going to be really bitchy!!!"

and I drove home, not really knowing if I should call Hubby up and tell him what happened, or should I just let this one slide? I know I have to blog about it because its once a blue moon, I will be doing stupid things like these without me even realizing it. Now, how stupid am I ? *sigh*

I am feeling so guilty now but well, what was done had been done and cannot be undone so I shall just leave it as it is..

I will just assume I got a free gift with all my other purchases but I doubt I will get so lucky next time round.

Change

Life is a total changearound now that Jaden started his therapy classes.

Although its only a 4day week class, 2 hours each with a one hour interval before the next but well, it sure have changed both Jaden and my daily schedule.

Good in a way, which I think it should have been like that in the first place but the very thought of sleeping in the morning is so tempting.

These days, if I have prepared his 'breakfast' the night before, then I will have the luxury of waking up at about 830am, half hour before Jaden but if I were to prepare a whole new breakfast for him, then it would have to be earlier. I, will then, konk out the same time Jaden goes to nap.

The first day of class was rather pleasant for him and his team of therapists but then again, that was only for show. Like his god-ma Gwen said, the novelty has worn off. Right on the second day, he threw mini tantrums which both Hubby and I could hear from the room. Thankfully it did not last through the whole 2 hours of class. If not ... *faint* !!!

Well thanks to the early morning get up schedule for Jaden, now, we all go to bed at about 1030pm / 11pm and he will be fast asleep latest by 12am. Now, this might sound still a bit too late for a child to go to bed but well, its already a huge cry difference from the hours he used to sleep. Trust me, you don't want to know.

In order to let him be tired out by 1030pm, I only allow him to nap for about an hour or an hour half, either at about 1pm (when he has no class on that day) or 3pm right after his class. So far, things are going quite smoothly and I hope it stays that way or gets even better.

and as for his milestone development, well, we will only know after a month or two after he gets used to worktime and playtime in his therapy classes and from there, hopefully I can move him on to occupational therapy and speech therapy. Keeping my fingers crossed!
