42 month assessment

We just went for P's 42mth assessment at KKH yesterday afternoon... P actual age is 40mth old, ca is 37mth... We no longer refer to her corrected age anymore, we think she is pretty much on par with her peers interm of speech, fine n gross motor skills, except her size.

According to Dr A, P's weight is growing nicely on the 10 percentile trend but a little concern with her height, she hasnt grown alot compare to last year, 2-3cm only. Personally, i tot P is tall, as she is almost the same height as her 4yo cousin, mayb i m wrong. So there will be alot of outdoor activities coming up, lotsa jumping and hanging......

Overall, Dr A is pretty much very happy with P's progress, we will see her again next year, trying to arrange the review after PTC, so i can get feedback from teacher.... For us, we are more concern abt her behaviour, is getting out of control, at times she can be the sweetest pie u have every met but at times she is such a horror that u wish u had nvr give birth to.... P is going for her dental review nexth month at the Cleft and Craniofacial Centre @ KKH. Dr A told us they might nt do anything to P's corroded enamel.

Everytime when we walked into CDU for P's assessment, i always remind myself that i m blessed as P is progressing and is on par with the kids her age, eventhough she might be slow in certain things. Well kids progress differently and we learnt nt to compare her with others. P was playing with a few kids at the play area, 1 mommy asked y P still comes for checkup at CDU, she said P is a very sweet gal and can speak so well. Told the mommy, we have our moment, P dun really speak much till after she is 30mth old, we just KIV for speech therapy since she is nt autistic. I really admire the parents and caregivers of children with special needs, the patience they have to take care of the kids. The other mommy whose child has a tracheotomy and with feeding tube, she seems so cheerful and optimistic. These are the mommies that we ought to look up too.... i feel bad for showing my temper at P when she is nt following my instruction or misbehave.

HFMD

P's been down with cough n flu after our return from HK. The cough seems to be getting worst, so i brought her to our GP and missed the big walk event. From the look on Dr T's facial expression after examining her mouth, i knew it wasnt good. HMFD was the word. Damn, i wont be so suai right, caught the HK trend as there was a spike in HMFD cases while we were there. Dr T showed me the uclers (2 of it) in her mouth to proof to me. Great, i will be under death sentence for the next 5 days.

P was grumpy and keep asking for ice cream, mayb is the uclers tt is annoying her. She ate her food, her appetite was ok, i feed her cold food so she can eat them. Thank god there wasnt any blisters on her hand, mouth or groin area. Perhaps hers is a mild one. Called the cc, to inform them abt P down with HFMD, dun think she got it from cc or HK. The only thing i can think of is from FIL's place.  I m gonna ban P from playing with the toys in FIL's house. I just realised that the toys are collected from void deck that some ppl threw away. I was curious as there is no kids in the house how come there are toys. ATM told me his dad must have going ard picking up toys tt ppl had threw away. Partly is me to blame, i forgot to ask to wash her hand after tt. Argh, he is another issue.

Lantau Island

I spend the whole saturday at the Mega show without the kids. Lotsa things to see and meet a number of interesting ppl. Sunday, we headed to Lantau island. OMG, i was so crowded and we waited 2.5h to get on the cable car.

10D9N HK trip

Instead of flying with SQ A380, we decided to fly with Jetstar, which can save us 1K. The rule in our family is travelling less than 4h, we will go by budget. So far we have no complain from P, since she has her own ipod loaded with all her fav shows and cartoons to entertain her...... not to mention her snacks.

At T1, started the trip with 1 luggage but came back wth 6 pieces of luggages

P  befrieded a cute boy, Lucas, he stayed in HK and he can speak mandarin pretty well.

Taking the airport express to HK station, P is amazed by the scenery which we seldom/hardly see in Spore.

Happy Birthday 外公

It was my dad birthday, i got a deal from Groupon if i m not wrong to have a diy cake. P had a go with it, i must say that the cake deco doesnt look appetizing at all. But her gong gong still ate almost half of it.

This is the cake that P decorated, al by herself.

P just love to cut the cake even it is nt her birthday.

Vainpot

Once awhile i will paint P's nail with her water-based nail polish. Somehow i think it is nt a gd idea, as she has been asking to color her nails. Recently i found that some of my magic pens were missing.

This is what she has been up to with the magic pens..... headache

Back

WE are finally back from our 10D9N HK trip, but we are more tired than ever... It is really tough travelling with 3 kids under 6yo.... They are forever fighting for the stroller....
