16th Aug Photoshoot highlights

Went for our photoshoot with tomato photo again. Great time spent with them at Jacob ballas as it was really hot that day.
I have yet to receive the original high res pictures but just some highlights here.

12th Aug Ryann's PD visit for MMR

Visited Dr Tan for Ryann's MMR jab and had a real bad experience.

She did Ryann 23 month assessment and asked me about Ryann's speech. I told her that Ryann knows how to say duck,No and several numbers and alphabet but just not calling us as usual. And she went on and say it is quite slow for Ryann already and she is worried about autism.

I posted a few questions like Ryann recognize us when ask which one is mummy or daddy etc, and he knows the numbers and alpha well, how can he autistic? She said some autistic kids are very good with numbers too. I said at times Ryann will see his mood for his response and eye contact and Dr Tan replied and said:" cannot see mood one." BUT WHICH CHILD DOESN’T DO THINGS ACCORDANCE TO THEIR MOOD? I don't understand at all. Kids being kids decide by feelings, isn't it?

Then before I post more questions, she tell me she cant talk to me anymore cos she got hospital appointment later so I left the room feeling really bad and unhappy. Outside the counter, I ask the nurse to check with Dr Tan about Ryann's singulair intake cos she didn’t review for Ryann. Without even checking on Ryann's lungs and stuff, she asked to continue one more month of singulair. Singulair cost $3 per dose and Ryann need to take another 1 more month.

Just last month when she did the 22-month review, she praised Ryann for knowing the alpha well as usually it only start at age 3. She said Ryann had eye contact with her the other time too. Today, what a different story. Last month she mentioned to me that she suspect of asthmatic case for Ryann too. I reject all that in Jesus's name.

I am really getting more and more uncomfortable with Dr Tan. No doubt she is good but I guess with more people visiting her ( her clinic is jam pack every day) , her service fall short as compared to before.

Maybe, I should really visit Dr Oh since she is also from NCC. At least for sure i know God's grace are showing abundantly there. Pray to God that He will provide me with all i need since the clinic is so far away. With no car and transport, thats really quite difficult. But nothing is too difficult for God.

10th Aug September birthday bash at Tampines one Amore Living

We enjoyed ourselves including the cake and company, recalling our delivery stories and talk about every thing under the sun from camera to maids. I enjoyed the friendship we shared through our parenting journey. Thank God for the Singapore motherhood forum.

9th Aug Before and after

To show you how patriotic Ryann is! =p He made the flag himself. So cute.

Took on the 6th of Oct 2007 when Ryann was barely one month old.





Took today 9th of August 2009 when Ryann is now coming 23 months old.

How fast time flies. Ryann is going to be 2 soon.

Cheeky story to share:

Me:"Ryann, please call me mummy. "

Ryann: "no no no!"

Me:" ok then can you call daddy?"

Ryann:"daddy daddy daddy."

Life is unfair! =(

8th Aug Addicted to DVDs

I dunno if it is a good thing but I just realized that Ryann knows how to change the DVD disc from the player. Before I knew it, the DVD that was playing a while ago was found on the floor and a new one was playing in the player.

Ryann love to watch Elmo's world, the wheels on the bus and Barney. He will protests with his famous 'No No No' if we were to switch off the player. As he grew taller, he is now able to reach the cd rack at mum's place, which naturally result, to him choosing the vcd he wanted and he will insist on watching them.

And when it starts to play, he will be so engrossed to it. No matter how many times I have called his name, he will ignore me.

see how engross he is

Happy and smiling away

6th Aug BIrthday party Theme

I am confused and lost over what to do for Ryann's party.

He will be having a mini party at Talent Plus. Although I have no idea what to buy for the goodie bag but I have got some sticker books, stickers already. Thinking of getting puzzles or some small items. Alternatively, I might just forget about the goodie bag and just get a nicely done cupcake.

Still got no idea for the theme. Other then Elmo, I guess the next thing he really likes is a car - anything with wheels. Ever since day 1 in school, the first toy he will play with is usually the toy car.
As for his actual day party. He will be celebrating together with Rhys. Rhys wanted a power ranger party. Ryann don't fancy power ranger that much though he have got some power ranger toys. I am still thinking of either a car theme (Since it is formula one month too) or Thomas the train theme.

Once I finalize the theme, the cake would be easy. As usual I would most likely be getting from Pine Garden again.

Photoshoot appointment fixed - botanic gardens Jacob ballas on national day.
I would still hope to do up the photo magnets this year for our family members and some close friends.

Cracking my heads for more ideas......

5th Aug G for hee hee

I suddenly realize Ryann always laugh with the 'hee hee' sound when I say G. Initially I thought he don't know how to say the letter G or the phonics of G. But I realize I was wrong. Why he is always laugh when I say G is because G is for giggle

He have been playing with this Playskool toy

Ever since young, Ryann will always laugh when this toy says G for giggle. So now I understand why.
