Dear Jaden,
Today, you turn 8. Watching you grow and learn is one of the best things that can ever happen in mummy's and daddy's life.
As usual, we always celebrate your birthday with a bang, just that this year, we had to tone it down a little because your paternal grandfather just passed away about a month before your birthday.

I froze.
Was it a one time? Will it be recurring? Why is it happening? How did he even get into such a state? Where did he learn it? Who has he been imitating? When did it all really start? Did I missed the start of all these????

Jaden is a growing boy. In fact, he is going to be 8 in a few weeks time.
I feel as if I am running out of time with him, especially when it comes to behavioral and independence skills training with him.
This boy, now, realizes that he has the ability to rebel back and also fight back. He is in fact getting stronger each day and even all his therapists commented that this boy is a very Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828283081937140302.post-89314086240897725662015-08-29T11:24:00.000+08:002015-09-05T11:30:38.964+08:00Rest In Peace, Mr Yap BT

So, today, my father-in-law was laid to rest at the Hokkien Cemetery in KL.
He passed away at around 245am, on an early morning, exactly a month before he would have turned 80 years old. Hubby got to meet his father at the hospital at around 1030pm, a few hours before father-in-law's last breath.

So, I decided to drop Jaden's speech therapist a message asking for some help as I was really worried about Mason's speech development.
I did not want to play the waiting game. I needed some help in observing the right milestones a 1.5year old boy must meet as I no longer knows what else to do other.
Some parents are commenting online that it is pretty normal for boys to be late talkers, Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828283081937140302.post-10221715531777140962015-07-20T15:33:00.001+08:002015-07-20T15:33:07.883+08:00Mason's speech development
Finally, some time to myself. Some time to blog again while Frozen is playing on TV, the small one napping while the big one is having his ABA therapy upstairs.
I contacted Jaden's speech therapist and asked for some tips on how to kickstart Mason to talk. Not that he is not picking up words but if compared to peers, he seems to be slow.
She has asked me not to compare to the girls Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828283081937140302.post-7587385471945346002015-06-27T09:55:00.002+08:002015-06-27T09:55:36.288+08:00Paranoia at 18months oldSome people may call me crazy.
Some people may say I am being just too paranoid.
BUT I am having this at the back of my head that I may just need to seek early intervention to kickstart something in Mason...
Somehow, I don't feel the progress coming along that well anymore.
Something has changed.. what is it, I do not know but I need to do something about it while I can.

Weather is perfect. Thunderstorm, aircon blowing, both boy snuggled up on the couch with their comforter and me, here, sipping my HOT coffee and trying to blog. :)
How long would this moment last? Hmm.. let us see.
Last Wednesday, I took Mason to the paed's clinic to do a little weigh-in just to make sure he is growing up fine.

Finally, some time to myself after both the little ones have gone to bed and I don't feel like sleeping just yet.
In a blink of an eye, it is almost half of 2015 and I do not think Jaden has progressed much compared to last year.
The only thing I considered that he has successfully achieved, that can be said, another milestone hit is going to toilet to poo.

Hello!
I am back! Yes, after a whole year away from blogging.
I missed blogging so much as it is one of my only tools to help me remember things that goes on in my life.
Like most of you all would have known, we had a new addition to the family and that little boy, had my hands tied up, leaving me little time to myself, therefore with a few minutes spare of me time, I had Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828283081937140302.post-63915457974365112382014-09-28T23:01:00.000+08:002015-09-05T13:23:49.356+08:007 years later...
I was rather heavily pregnant, running around town, planning my son's 6th birthday party, which was to be held at school and also at one of his favourite restaurant... and then, just in a blink of an eye, here we are celebrating his 7th Birthday.
I can still feel myself waddling around with the baby in me kicking.. and now, baby is already 9 months old going 10 months old and my Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828283081937140302.post-59972304008287418362014-09-18T13:24:00.000+08:002015-09-05T13:25:29.727+08:00Jaden and Mason... updatesIts been quite a while since I had access to the comp or the net as the laptop decided to heat up and we have yet to get internet connection from TM.
First, updates on Jaden:-
Jaden is progressing rather well in school, picking things up fast and he is showing much more awareness and emotions.v
He adores his little brother and will initiate play from time to time, kisses his brother, Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828283081937140302.post-42899420046683096302014-05-19T15:59:00.003+08:002014-05-19T15:59:50.679+08:00Right decisions?
So after 3 years of not seeing Jaden's opthamotologist, we went back again recently to check on his eye again.
This time, the doctor said that he needs to have surgery on both his eyes and that freaked me out so bad.
Really? Is it a must?
He had this a sudden overnight turned in and I swear that it wasn't something he was born with.

He was 9 days shy of turning 5 months old at the time of his checkup and he is weighing in at 7.23kg, 66cm in height.
Jaden was 7kg at 5 months old and only 7.41kg when he was 6 months old.
Seems like Mason is the heavier but shorter one? :)

Last week was the worst week of my life thus far in 2014.
Don't read any further if you have food in your mouth or is planning to eat as this post will make your hurl!
First, it was Jaden who was down with diarrhea and he had it real bad. Well, I thought it was read bad until I had mine, which was 100% worse and I am glad it was me instead of him.

At 30 going 31, I discovered I have already sported a strand of grey hair.
Oh no!
and also, I am now sporting a really really short haircut, first in my life! Having a boy-cut style.
I needed a change and since my hair was dropping like mad (post-natal delivery) and I am trying to keep myself away from going for rebonding and colouring so to have it short is the way to go.

11th April 2014 is definitely a day for me to remember too.
It is the day my firstborn lost his first milk teeth. It is starting to make way for his adult teeth to emerge.

We celebrated our Chinese New Year in KL this year.
No Melaka.
No Penang.
Mason is too young to travel and the very fact that we did not want to expose him to so many people just yet is the main reason why.

Mason turns 7 weeks old today.
Last Monday, we took him to his paed to have his third shot of oral Vit-K shot. He was weighing in at 5.12kg and grew up to 60cm long.
Mason has set a morning wake-up schedule for himself and that is waking up at 8am everyday. Its a good and a bad thing for me as Jaden's waking up schedule is also supposed to be at 8am to prepare for school. Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
