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.
