Joshua 1st Excursion

Joshua has been attending Nursery for 4 months.

He enjoys the school bus ride to school. He waves 'bye-bye' to me everytime I see him off from school bus. I enjoy the moment to see his happy eyes waving bye-bye to me. However, I can't see him off every day, because every time I see him off, I am late to reach office.

I am a bit regret of starting J to school only this year. Sometimes, I wish if I could turn back the clock, I will drag him to the nearby montessori pre-school. It could be worth it. J is lack behind his peers in everything except for the gross motor skill. He has been on TV for almost 8 hours a day since last year. His stubborn character also discourage my previous helper to turn off the tv.

With the new helper, she seems to have way to disallow the kids to turn on the tv even with Derick. Derick only got to watch tv for 2 hours a day when Joshua is having his nap time.

To-date, J is still not able to sound in 2 words. The only 2 words he could say is 'di tie' (MRT). I don't know whether I have spelt the chinese correctly. He is almost 4 years old but still can't speak in 2 words. I am quite worried of him.

I have been looking almost whole Singapore for the speech therapist. All the speech therapy session in Saturday are full. Singapore is really lacking of speech therapy.

I googled and found out some of the reasons of late talker is due to immature neuron development. The only way is therapy and giving omega 3. Today, I give him Omega 3 and I need to struggle with him. He is a fussy eater. This Saturday, I will bring him for the first speech therapy. Hopefully, in 3 months time I could update his improvement in speech.

Today is my first time in my life to volunteer myself for school excursion to Butterfly Lodge. It's really a great experience. I met some parents there. Some photos for viewing.
