2 tahun 10 bulan

Dah dekat 3 tahun dah anak mama.. dah lama mama rasa tak update pasal development Z.

Berat: 10.9kg (latest)

Tinggi: 89cm (April)

In term of skills, mama rasa in the last 2-3 months Z has improve a lot. Sekarang nih sedang galak memanjat. semua tempat dia nak memanjat. Cruising pun makin jauh. InsyaAllah, harapnya tak lama lagi Z boleh berjalan la.. Haritu physio Emer datang and buat full asessment. Dia cakap in term of physical, Z memang tak ada masalah (except the low tone of course). His legs are fine, his posture is perfect, his spine also good. Mama risau la takut dia ada flat feet ke, curvy spine ke.. because all those could affect his walking ability. Alhamdulillah everything is ok. Cuma dia jer yang tak nak berjalan lagi. Manja. He has no interest to explore around, that's why dia tak nak berjalan.

Speech pulak, Z dah banyak babbling sekarang nih. Sejak awal tahun ni memang bertambah tambah bising mulutnya. Tapi still tak de words keluar. Sebut mama pun belum. But he likes to sing (not so much in tune) to his favorite song. Twinkle-twinkle little star.. Dora.. Head & Shoulder.. Old McDonald.. etc.. kalau those songs keluar kat TV or mama nyanyi, mesti Z akan turut serta; dalam bahasa dan irama dia la.. but I noticed the sound he makes is always the same. So memang dia menyanyi la..

Anxiety pun dah improve a lot. Z dah tak menangis di sekolah. Pagi mama hantar (sejak hari pertama ke sekolah after surgery) dah takde drama air mata. Cikgu pun dah tak perlu nak dukung Z. Biar jer dia merayap merata kelas.Dengan home teacher, Mairead pun Z dah ok, walaupun di rumah. Paling aneh 2 minggu lepas appointment dengan Kerri SLT. Sebelum ni Z kalau nampak Kerri macam nampak hantu. Infact, appointment dengan Kerri la the first time when I noticed Z has strangers anxiety. Ingat lagi tahun lepas, dia punya melalak.. mama pun nak tumpang sekaki. Since then, jumpa jer Kerri, memang tak payah pujuk la, meraung jer kejanya. But 2 minggu lepas, for the first time, at home pulak tu, Z tak melalak!!! bukan tu aje, siap ajak Kerry main bola lagi. Bila Kerry nak balik, baru dia melalak - tak bagi Kerry balik sebab nak main bola. AMAZING! 

Di sekolah

Masa jumpa Maeve (Psych) re austism (nanti la mama update pasal nih), dia tanya do you think his anxiety level now is reducing, because he is really recovering or because he just get use to those people? That's make me realised.. Actually bila jumpa orang baru (eg: ENT) Z still melalak. strangers menyapa di tengah jalan pun Z tak layan. Pegi tempat baru pun Z masih melalak. So he still has anxiety, but the level might have lowered and the reason his life is much more calmer is because he just know or get use to a lot of people now. His circle of trust is expanding.. Tak per la, at least ada improvement kan... :)

I now focusing on his hearing. Walaupun his ABR test comes out normal (20-30 db), but mama tak rasa Z dengar dengan sempurna. Dah 2 kali jumpa ENT. The first one, tak dapat buat apa pun sebab Z melalak and he got bad congestion as well. Last week jumpa lagi, dah boleh la test sikit. But he still not cooperate much. Plus his ear canal is too narrow, doctor tu tak dapat nak access betul2. But she thinks he has fluid in his middle ear. But he never had any ear infection. Dia cakap tak semestinya kalau ada fluid, kena infection. Banyak jer kids yang not even realised they had fluid in their ear. He probably had those since he was little, he already get used to that and the sound surrounding. No wonder he is not able to say any words. Papa pun jadi 'wawa'. because that's how he heard it. 

Masa first time jumpa ENT dulu (early May) dia suggest letak olive oil untuk clear the wax. Mama dah try banyak kali prior to 2nd appointment. Memang takde apa langsung yang keluar. Dia cakap maybe fluid tu dah keras dah, thats why tak boleh cair.. So she has refer us to ENT surgeon. Z might need grommet/tube on his ear.

the appointment will be in Augus - kebetulan Z dah dapat appointment untuk his tonsil (re sleep problem), boleh sekali harung.. 

Sedih jugak mama rasa sebenarnya.. 'If' his hearing was sorted earlier, he probably wont have much problem with speech now.. Hearing test normally done when they were 3 months old. tapi Z dah pindah randah.. Pastu susah giler nak masuk health system kat sini.. Everything is delayed. ABR test tu pun buat with private masa balik bercuti di malaysia last year. Kesian Z.. Dia boleh la dengar, cuma bende yang dia dengar tu lain jer la.. That's why he is confused and wont be able to pronounce it.

Tak per la, better late than never.. I dont think I can wait until August. August nanti examination jer dulu. kalau betul, ntah bila pulak surgery nya (some people on DS ireland forum say they have to wait 3-6 months just to get that tiny grommet surgery..) I read from few other forum, some people recommend EARDOC, katanya boleh membantu open up the midle ear and loosen up the wax/fluid. So mama dah oder semalam. Hopefully membantu and tak perlukan surgery. Tapi mama rasa ear wax Z tu dah keras batu dah kot.. tak sure la berkesan ke dak.. tengok ler macam mana nanti.. yang penting kita berusaha yer dak?

My Baby Can Read :)

Video Z 'membaca' pagi tadi :) bangun2 pagi jer terus pegi ambik buku then baca.. lampu pun mama belum sempat buka.. Alhamdulillah.. semenjak recover from surgery mama notice Z dah banyak 'bercakap'. More kepada communication than random bubbling. Cuma mama tak berapa faham jer la.. in term of reading pulak, as I said before, Z memang dah boleh sight reading few words. Cuma dia tak boleh sebut jer lagi.. at least now nampak la sikit his interest to pronounce the words :) 

What a day!

Semalam (Rabu) Z ada 3 appointments. Home Teaching in the morning, GP in the afternoon and private SLT in the evening. 

Lemah tak bermaya :(

The night before Z got another bugs attack! Petang selasa tu balik dari sekolah mama dah perasan baju and seluar Z bertukar. Bila mama check tengok ada kesan2 tompok mcm muntah. tapi cikgu tak cakap apa2 pun tadi.. (actually cikgu Aoife dah balik, so cikgu lain yg hand over Z kat mama, maybe dia tak tahu la kot..). Masa mama bagi makan malam tu, ok jer lagi.. tapi susu Z tak mo minum sangat.. and he asleep around 10 camtu.

Selasa malam rabu tu papa oncall.. pukul 12 malam mama baru nak lelap, tetiba Z batuk2 nangis2 and muntah! habis baju tido semua.. so, mama pun tukar baju Z. Lepas muntah Z terus tido balik.. ok lah, muntah sebab batuk jer kot.. pukul 12.30 Z bangun n meronta2 lagi, this time dia memang menjerit macam sakit sangat.. pastu muntah, pastu tido semula.. mama tukar cadar pulak sebab dah kotor. then mama pun sambung tido, skali pukul 2.30 dia bangun n meronta2 lagi.. masyaAllah.. mama dah risau sangat dah.. again, dia muntah. memang susu jer yang keluar tu.. 

Tepon papa, busy la pulak.. so irony! mama kasik Z susu pun dia tak nak.. and he keeps woke up every hour or so and muntah2 sampailah ke pagi. actually sampai pukul 5. lepas tu mama n Z tido hingga ke pagi.

Pagi tu Z bangun n main2 seperti biasa. memula tu mama ingat nak call Mairead and cancel appointment jer, tapi dah tengok dia ok, tak per la.. then mama kasik breakfast pukul 9.30 camtu, Z muntah habis keluar semua balik.. hmm.. ok fine.. macam sebelum ni la kot, tak leh makan lagi. so mama biarkan jer lah dia main2 n tengok cd cam biasa..

Mairead tengah pujuk Z.. Mama menyorok di dapur.

Pukul 10.45 Mairead datang. as expected, Z melalak jer the whole session. maklum laa.. mama ada sebelah.. mama try sorok kat dapur lagi lah dia melalak. padehal he was getting on well with Mairead kat sekolah. Baru last week Mairead g skolah dia. Sabar jer laa.. Melalak punya melalak, sampai tertido. Penat sangat kot sebab asik bangun jer last night kan.. so mama sembang2 jer la dengan Mairead.. Dia sibuk nak convince kan mama yang Z was getting along well wit her in school. hehehe, yer mama tahu.. sebab mama ada jer dia tak mo orang lain.. anyhoo, she will video tape her session in school so mama boleh tengok sendiri katanya.. ok jer lah..

Pukul 12 baru Mairead balik, barulah mama dapat berehat kejap. makan2 dulu.. appointment SLT pukul 4. tapi bila tengok Z tido, tak sedap hati jadinya.. so mama call GP kat depan rumah nih. book appointment pukul 3. clinic tu sebelah jer dengan tempat SLT tu. 

Pukul 1.30 Z bangun, mama kasik susu. Tak habis pun. Dia nak tengok Dora, so mama pasang jer la CD, sambil mama mandi n bersiap. Tetiba dengar Z batuk2, terus mama g terkam. Tengok dia dah muntah lagi.. habis semua susu keluar balik. hish! memang apa satu pun tak leh masuk perut la gini.. 

Siap2 pukul 3 pegi clinic. first time g clinic nih. jumpa Dr Nia. Ok lah, tak macam doctor iran kat clinic lama dulu tu.. sembang2 history semua, Dr Nia pun rasa ni bukan bugs lagi nih. sebab tak munkin bugs attack sampai lebih drpd 3 kali. Z dah kena 4 kali dah pun. cuma this time is the worst la sebab minum pun tak boleh. dia suruh buat urine test and if betul2 bugs, kena bagi antibiotics la.. but if not bugs, itu yg masalah tu.. she will refer Z to Gastro. Pastu dia kata kalau Z still x boleh minum, kena lah bawak g emergency. Hmm..

Anyway, habis jer clinic, terus pegi SLT. nak cancel pun dah short notice sangat, so pegi jer laa.. but Z memang melalak2 jer lah dari clinic lagi.. masa jumpa Ms Agnes tu mama upah iphone jer kat Z. lagipun ni initial assessment jer. so mama jer lah yg sembang2 dengan Agnes. 

Actually diorang punya approach lebih kurang sama jer dgn Kerri di SMH. Mama nak carik speech therapist yang buat exercise macam oral placement.. Using talk tools macam tu. but dia kata kat sini pediatrick SLT semua nya more kepada communication itself. She will use Hanen and Lahm programme. Hmm.. keciwa jugak sebenarnya.. but she is nice and Z seems ok with her. so mama nak teruskan lah few more session kot. tengok camner. lagipun jumpa Kerri 6 minggu sekali jer n Z still not get on well with her yet walaupun dah 5-6 kali jumpa.. so mama booking 2 minggu sekali dengan Agnes nih. And disebabkan approach diorang sama, mama suruh jer dia contact Kerri untuk full assesment. Save duit tak yah buat assesment dengan dia. Full SLT assesment 400++ euro tau.. fuuh! Tengok lah serasi ke tak yer.. At least private nih senang sikit mama nak blah kalau tak suka.. mcm kat SMH tu, tak suka pun kena lah tahan.. free katanya.. lagipun diorang linking to all other servis as well, berani carik pasal?

Lepas jumpa Agnes tu, mama bawak Z jalan2 naik train kejap.. nak hiburkan hati dia.. kesian, penat bekerja harini hehehe.. balik rumah dah pukul 6. Malam tu papa kata tak yah ler kasik dinner.. bagi perut Z rest dulu. kasi susu yg dicairkan jer sikit2.. Z lapar sangat sebenarnya.. tapi mama tak berani nak kasik susu banyak2. separuh2 jer.. kesian Z. ada jugak la dia gaya2 nak muntah.. tapi tak keluar pun.. dah takde apa kot dalam perut dia tu.. 

Tidur malam tadi pun Z asik bangun jer. sejam sekali mesti dia bangun dan merengek2. perut still x settle agaknya.. tapi x muntah la.. harini papa cuti. take turn jaga Z pulak. Tak sampai hati nak hantar Z ke sekolah. Kejap tadi papa call bagitau Z muntah lagi.. sigh.. mama nih nama jer la datang opis, tapi hati mama tinggal di rumah :(

Unpaid Leave (Parental Leave)

Mama officially on 2 days perweek unpaid parental leave from January till August this year. Last month mama off guna annual leave jer.. tinggal lagi 8 hari jer annual leave mama untuk tahun nih. dah x boleh cuti2 lagi dah huhuhu.. (and even worst, uncertified medical leave pun dah dipotong. Dulu boleh ambik uncert MC up to 7 days per year. So kalau apa2 hal tu, tepon jer office cakap sakit hihihi.. tapi this year government dah reduced to 7 days for 2 years . kena la g clinic kalau nk mc huhuhu)

Mama keje 3 days per week and so far still x de replacement untuk those 2 days yet. maksudnya mama kena siapkan 5 hari keje in 3 days only. Memang busy x bernafas jadiknya.. nak p toilet pun x sempat.. pada mulanya bos mama kata dia nak advertise temporary position utk 6 month contract using the money they saved from my unpaid leave. Tapi tak dengar apa2 pun lagi nih.. pening jugak mama jadiknya @.@. nasib baiklah sekarang nih bukan peak season..

Dah la urusan harian pun masih terkial2. Ok tu ok lah, Cuma mama rasa masih blom mencapai target. Banyak plan mama x sempat dilaksanakan lagi. Z plak day by day semakin manja. Asik nk berkepit jer dgn mama. And to make the matter worst, since last week I got lower back pain. First 3 days tu mmg menangis2 nak bangun tido. Atok kata silap urat, kalau kat malaysia kena p berurut lah.. Papa kata biasa jer tu, makan pain killer jer.. seminggu dua ok lah. tapi mmg sakit sangat. Macam dekat2 nak beranak dulu pun ada. Sekarang pun masih sakit, but dah ok sikit.. sigh, usia semakin meningkat ni macam2 la penyakit kan.. so I am a bit frustrated sebab pergerakan terutamanya pagi2 sangat lah slow.. akibatnya semua benda jadi lambat (kalau keluar p shopping ok aje?). tapi mmg mama baca, the more u move n stretch the better it will be. Sebab tu lah bangun pagi sakit sangat kot, sebab tido kan x banyak bergerak.. bila dah petang tu its getting better.

Last Wednesday @ St Michael's House - Appointment with Speech & Language

Anyhoo, mama sangat bersyukur sebab dapat ambik unpaid leave nih. At least those extra 2 days ada la jugak manfaatnya untuk Z. So far mama arranged all Z’s appointment on Wednesday. Home Teaching 2 minggu sekali, speech therapy 3 mgu sekali and physio pun 3 mgu sekali. Boleh la alternate. Pastu mama dah jumpa private therapies centre dekat area rumah (block sebelah jer). Mama plan nk book speech therapy dulu. Tengok ok ke tak.. physio tu nanti2 la, sebab mama agak berpuas hati dgn Z’s new physio. Cuma speech jer yg tak berapa best. Lagipun speech therapy is necessary to help Z fight those autism sign. So, kita cuba la yer..

Kat rumah pun mama akan spend at least 1 hour utk focus on Z’s therapy. So far we are working on his gross motor n hand grasp and coordination. Pastu mama dah mempelbagaikan teksture makanan Z. Z dah boleh makan lumpy food. but still very soft la.. Banyak lagi mama nak kena study sebenarnya, tapi serious x sempat bukak internet (ni pun update kat opis time lunch). Boleh la nk online sekejap2 tu.. tapi kalau mende2 ilmiah ni bukan boleh main tengok2 gitu jer.. kena la betul2 mengkaji dan memahami. Kadang2 tu baru baca 4-5 paragraph, Z dah menjerit2.. memang tak boleh concentrate. Kalau mama x layan dia, nanti mulalah dia buat all those stimming behavior. Memang x leh lepa. Malam pulak pukul 10 baru Z tido. Konon2 mama akan ‘study’ time tu la, tapi slalunya x sampai setengah jam pun, mama dah pengsan.. mama kena usaha bagi Z tido awal sikit lah..

Alhamdulillah, mama tengok banyak juga perubahan Z the past 6 weeks. InsyaAllah semoga Z terus menerus menunjukkan perkembangan positif.. Aminnn..

WAWA

2 tahun 4 bulan sudah..

His main achievement for the past 2-3 weeks is calling papa 'wawa'. For the last year he was bubbling a lot, but he still call papa or mama 'aah'. We only know he called us because of his voice tone and he will stare to one of us while saying 'aah!' to show which one he called. Now he specifically mention 'wawa' when he wants papa. Nampak jer papa, terus 'WAWA!'. Merajuk dengan mama, mesti carik 'wawa'. Papa takde pun dia still carik2 'wawa?.. wawa?'

Tapi mama still bunyi 'aah'.. sabo jer laa.. huhu..

Tak kisah lah.. every little improvement made by you is a HUGE achievement for me..

Mama loves you so so soooo much!!
xoxo

Seminar on weaning & cup

Seminar di pagi Sabtu. 10-1pm @ Bewleys Hotel.

Bersemangat mama n papa (n Z of course) pegi. Duduk tak sampai 15 minit, Z dah start mengamuk2.. So mama n papa kena bergilir2. sorang dengar ceramah, sorang kena bawak Z keluar. Ceramah habis pukul 11. Lepastu ada teknikal session pulak. The SLT supposed to come to each parent and show one-to-one technique based on their requirement. Mama cepat2 angkat tangan and mintak dia jumpa kita dulu. Kalau tak, bakal mengganggu orang lain pulak.. Lepas jer one-on-one session dengan Libby tu, terus kami blah..

Meeting in Progress, tapi mama dgn Z kat luar ;(

Btw, Z kan masih on mashed/pureed type of food. dah banyak kali cuba kasik yg ber tekstur, mesti dia akan gagging, then terus dia refuse the food. Z actually has Oral Sensitivity. Patutlah memang payah bebenor nak masukkan apa2 dalam mulut dia. Nak berus gigi pun macam berperang! So Libby nasihatkan we work more on his oral stimulation. Pastu dia suruh kami tanya our SLT on Oral Desensitisation programme. Hmm.. tu yg masalah tu, SLT pun tak start lagi. Memang la dah penah jumpa Kerri, but thats more on assesment, not really the real SLT programme. Sigh.. for now, mama lah yg kena carik teknik2 tersebut..

Lagi satu, mama baru tahu, eating habit ni pun related to his trunk control. Selagi tak boleh duduk dengan stabil, memang susah diorang nak makan. Sangat penting sebenarnya. Apetah lagi untuk makan sendiri. Z kan memang ada huge problem with his trunk muscles :(. Patutlah dia sampai sekarang x pernah masukkan any object (except his own hands) to his mouth. Itu semua boleh membantu dia makan sendiri and introduce him to new textures. Sigh.. kalaulah mama tahu nih from beginning.. now trunk control dia dah better, but he already skip few steps. so, agak susah la nak train him especially when he already has his own habit. sepatutnya masa umo 7-8 bulan lagi.. ada teknik n equipment for that.. huhuhu.. so for now, we just have to start stimulating his mouth area dulu lah. then consistently introducing textured food. Start with food that melt in his mouth. mcm biskut ke.. coklat ke.. biskut mmg slalu dah kasik, dia mmg ludah jer.. maybe coklat will help.. hmmm..

Latest Sippy Cup, sama dengan yg digunakan di sekolah

Pasal cup drinking pulak.. dia x suggest sangat guna sippy cup (dah berjenis2 sippy cup mama beli..). sebab diorang still kena suck. better introduce minum from cawan biasa terus. doidy cup is a good start. Well, we have doidy cup for nearly a year now. Tak penah pakai pun.. (sebab Z x suka) so, mama akan guna from now on. 

Doidy Cup

Also, straw drinking. bagus jugak for his speech later. It help them to control their toungue as well. yes, mama dah tahu. 6 months ago I did the research. So, I bought this Lil' Gripper from Playtex. 

Lil' Gripper

Konon2 the best first straw cup, sebab mummy boleh squeez the middle part. Mummy diorang ada super power kot. Sebab bukan saja mama, papa pun x bleh squeez. keras gilos!. End up tak guna jugak.. Libby suggest this cute bear bottle from thinkingtoys.ie. Masa mama carik dulu, x de kat ireland/uk nih. Ada brand talktools (honeybear) from US jer, pastu postage lg mahal drpd bottle.. That's why mama end up beli playtex (lg mahal sebenarnya, but shipping cost murah jer). Nasib baik this cute bear bottle tak mahal sangat. So, mama dah order, we will try soon k :)

Mr Juice Bear

Walaupun sekejap jer, I think I have learn a lot! Next time, Z tinggal rumah jer lah. Kacau!

Sweet Moment.. :)

Weekend haritu mama, papa n Z pegi shopping barang2 utk our next holiday.. tengah mama dok belek2 ingredients makanan Z satu persatu tu, mama dengar Z berborak dgn papa..

borak bahasa Z la.. bababa..blublublu..ablooabloo bunyinya.. papa pun balas guna bahasa Z jugak la.. kiut jer nampak.. semakin lama, semakin rancak pulak diorang berborak (taking turn).. yg tak tahan tu, Z sampai gelak2.. lama pulak tu, sambil cakap sambil gelak.. siap tepuk2 stroller dia lagi.. hahah.. ntah apa lah yg kelakarnya.. papa pun melayan lah sambil tangan gewang2, mulut muncung2 jugak.. lagi lah si Z tu ketawa mengekek.. :D

Alhamdulillah.. happy jer mama tengok.. bukan senang nk dapat tengok Z communicate mcm tu.. selalunya dia akan borak kejap jer, lepas tu dh hilang focus and buat mende lain or pandang tempat lain. but that time, mmg he is communicating face to face :D..

It's maybe nothing for some, but for mama, that's just on of the best moment :) semoga Z membesar dengan sihat yer sayang.. mama loves you soooooooooooo much!

LÀMH - to do or not?

mama baru dapat surat dari SMH utk mengikuti làmh course. kelas malam once a week for 2 months. mama agak keberatan sebenarnya nk join this class, although initially mama yg rajin2 p request for it.

Làmh tu maksudnya tangan in Irish (sebutannya mcm 'loff' gitu) adalah sign language yg specific utk early learning disabilities dekat ireland. most of the signs are based from ISL (Irish Sign Language) tapi a bit more simple.

mama memanglah nak belajar sikit2 sign language supaya boleh berkomunikasi dgn Z. tapi x de lah sampai nk pegi kelas for 2 months tu.. tu dah macam intensif signing class dah tu.. actually mama memang suka ajer pegi kelas tu.. banyak yg boleh dipelajari, bukan saja on the topic, tapi on other common things jugak.. cuma mama rasa mcm penat and takut tak berbaloi jer.. kalau sibuk pegi belajar tapi at the same time, x sempat nk practise dgn Z, ape gunanya kan? especially nk tinggalkan Z malam2 tu.. mmg lah seminggu sekali jer, tapi kalau dh ada kelas mama nk kena balik keja awal sikit.. bila balik awal, mama kena lah pulak ganti esoknya (dan lusanya).. dah jadik 2 malam mama x dapat bermesra dgn Z. seriously mama selalu jer sedih bila balik rumah tgk Z dah tido.. :(

lgpun, mama ada baca few articles, most of parent advised supaya focus more on communication itself rather than signing! sebab once diorang dh comfortable with sign language, diorang akan malas untuk bercakap secara vocal. nk communicate dgn org yg tahu sign language tu ok lah, tapi mcm mana plak nk communicate with the world? so, sebab tu lah mama agak keberatan nk focus on sign language nih....

alasan lainnya, april and may memang mama busy giler with work. seriously rasa mcm x sanggup nk kejar2 pegi kelas nih.. haih.. pastu june plak nak balik msia (insyaAllah), dah rugi 2 mgu di situ.. kalau diorang buat kelas ni 2-3 bulan lagi, mama rasa ok sikit kot.. takde lah terkejar2 macam sekarang.. tapi apahal pulak org tu nk buat kelas ikut mama punya timetable kan.. ramai lagi parent lain nk join the course..

but at the same time, it could be very useful utk encourage Z to communicate.. sigh...!

19 bulan sudah

Major achievement bulan ni, pulling himself up to standing position! Tapi cuma dgn berpaut pada tangan kite jer lah.. Z still x confident nk berpaut pada furniture. His physio kata sbb x de tempat nk grip, thats why dia x berani lagi. But it wont be long before he could start cruising :).



Lagi, he is more confident utk duduk sendiri. But most of the time he will use his left arm as a support. Ok lah tu..

Still no sign of crawling, dia dh get use to comando crawling kot..

Communication according to SLT/Hanen dia in 'communicator' stage. Dah start to express his intention and definitely could understand us. Tapi lambat lg lah nk ke next stage (1 word user) tu katanya..

Berat 10.1 kg
Tinggi 82 cm

gigi geraham dh tambah lagi 1 and looks like another 2 on the way.

Mama juga baru start kasi Z Nutrivene-D daily supplement since last week and he is a bit constipated since then. Tapi still popoo everyday lah.. Kalau ok mama akan kasik full set kot sbb x silapnya yg Enzym tu boleh membantu masalah constipated jugak. Tapi, mama rasa mcm banyak jenis ubat sgt lah.. Kesian Z.. Tengok lah mcm mana nanti.. (mama yg phobia makan ubat sbnrnya.. Hehe)



Other than that, he is still my manja mucuk macham baby boy :). Semakin manja. Semakin mengada. Suka merajuk. Suka pura2 menangis utk tarik perhatian. Suka kiss2 mama. Suka dera mama nyanyi2. Suka cucuk2 tekak mama. Suka tampar2 muka mama, lepastu kiss2 balik. And dah kurang aktivity menggigit :D

Oh, sempena menyambut ulang 'bulan' kelahiran yang ke 19 juga, Z telah bersengkang mata malam tadi sehingga jam 12 tgh malam!

Drama

Pagi tadi ada follow-up assesment untuk SLT & Hanen technique. Agendanya diorang akan videotape mama dan Z berkomunikasi then diorang akan play back the record and make their comments. Mama juga kenalah apply teknik2 yang telah dipelajari during the course (baru 2 kelas jer pun..).

Budak mengantuk

Our appointment at 9.30am, kami sampai around 9.15 and Z mcm biasa lah, pantang berjalan mesti dia tidur, padehal baru jer pukul 9 lebih.. Sampai2 tu mama terus kejutkan Z, so masa masuk jumpa Kerri (SLT) tu, Z masih lagi terpisat2..

First few minutes tu ok lah lagi.. Kami mmg dh diberi homework untuk plan apa nk buat sepanjang sessi tu.. Mama bawak few toys dari rumah supaya Z tak boring and could act and play naturally. Bila dh start recording, still lagi dok sengih2 gelak2.. Lepas 5 minit camtu dia dah start cranky.. Asik hulur tangan mintak mama dukung aje.. End up dia start menangis. So mama pun dukung lah Z.

Tapi yg kelakar tu, bila dia pandang jer kamera, terus sengih2.. hahaha.. Tapi bila letak jer, menangis balik.. Then tengok balik kamera, sengih2 lentok2 semula.. Haih, drama king la pulak si Z nih.. Diorang pun mengekek2 gelak tgk budak perasan nih.

About 10-15 mins jugak lah kami 'berlakon'. Bila dah habis recording, diorang transfer to TV untuk tayangan. Sementara nk tunggu video being uploaded tu lah Z start mengamuk.. Memang melalak2.. Siap keras2 kan badan lagi. Especially bila si Kerri tu cuba pujuk. Lagi lah dia mengamuk! Selalu kalau dia nangis, mama dukung aje dia akan diam, tapi kali ni mmg tak.. Constant crying and screaming! Mama pun tatau nk buat apa.. Last2 mama bawak keluar bilik.. Ok lah sikit, but still menangis. Satu SMH tu boleh dengar dia melalak.. Lepas sorang, sorang staff datang bertanya kenapa. Bila masuk jer bilik tu balik, terus menjerit2 semula.. So Kerri ajak pegi play room. Masuk playroom pun sama lah.. Melalak2 .. Kerri pun dah serba salah jadiknya..

Last2 mama masukkan dlm stroller and bawak jalan2 kat luar.. Barulah diam.. Lama jugak mama mundar-mandir around SMH. Bila tengok dia dh ok, mama bawak masuk. Kat lobby, still ok.. Bila nampak jer muka Kerri, terus sambung melalak!! WAAaaaa..

Mama pun dah mcm nk nangis dah. Seriously, tak pernah lagi Z melalak sampai begitu sekali.. Mama kasik iphone tak nak, mama kasik bubbles pun tak nak.. End up mama terpaksa mintak excuse from Kerri. Memang tak boleh continue lagi dah.. Next time jer lah.. Sebab tengok gaya mmg takkan stop selagi mama tak bawak dia keluar..

So, itulah drama hari Selasa kami. Drama lain yg nak di shooting, drama lain pulak yg ditayangkan.. huhuhu.. Mama pun tak pasti mama ada apply ke tak Hanen masa main2 dgn Z tu.. Awal2 tu ada la kot.. Last2 tu rasanya lebih pada cubaan memujuk Z aje.. Jangan lah diorang pasang dalam kelas pulak nanti.. Maluuuuuu!

Masa on the way balik tu Z dah tertido.. Sampai rumah still sedu sedan x hilang lagi.. Adoiiiyaa anak mama.. Kesian dia.. Trauma agaknya.. huhuhu..

It Takes Two to Talk

Following Speech & Language Therapy assesment last month, mama dah mendaftarkan diri untuk mengikuti 9 weeks Hanen course. Kelas every Thursday night started from last Thursday.

First class ok lah.. Walaupun mama dah baca the Hanen books (x habis pun lagi.. ), its still far more useful to go to the class. Belajar dgn cikgu nih lagi berkesan.. Tak paham boleh jer tanya :)

Ada about 15 parents in the class. So far semua dtg bercouple. Since papa pun still on holiday, mama drag him to the class as well. Tapi from this week on, mama jadik single parent balik la.. huhuhu.. Actually mama lagi prefer kalau papa boleh join lagi, sebab at least kitorang boleh berdiskusi and attempt the practise on Z together. Tapi apa nak buat.. Papa keje jauh sgt.. Mmg tak sempat pun kalau dia nk balik for the course.. :(

Mama sangat berharap mama boleh start SLT nih as soon as possible. According to SMH, kalau nk tunggu diorang punya therapist, Z umur 2.5 thn baru boleh start. So, better mama start sikit2 with the Hanen Technique. Hopefully we are not too late..

Actually this course dah penuh pun.. tapi mama merayu jugak supaya mama boleh join. so they put me on waiting list.. last minit ade org yg cancelled so dapat lah mama join.. Alhamdulillah, dah rezeki kita namanya.. :)

so, now marilah kita buat homework yer Z ;)

Panggilan

Kejadian weekend lepas.

Mama - tengah membaca di meja makan
Z - tengah main2 di ruang tamu (terlindung sikit dari mama)
K.yah - dalam stor tengah mengeluarkan baju2 dari mesin basuh.

bila Z perasan jer nobody around, seperti kebiasaannya, dia pun terjerit2 lah panggil. jeritan yang biasa, AAAAAAAAAHHH!!, TATATTAA!!, BABABAAAA!!, ERRGGGHHHH!!!, sambil tangannya menepuk2 lantai. <--- mmg sentiasa kena ada org depan mata.

mama perhatikan dari jauh jer gelagat Z yang tengah cuba nk bukak pintu ke ruang tengah. Z memang tak nampak mama yang berada cuma lebih kurang 2-3 meter jer dari dia tu.

tetiba, YAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!! YAAAAHHHHHHH!!

huh? kuat dan jelas betul bunyi 'Y' dia tu.. kak yah yg duduk kat bilik stor nun pun boleh perasan dia panggil...

this is the first time Z sebut YAH.. sampai hati Z, penat2 mama and papa dok ajar panggil MAMA and PAPA, nama kak yah jugak yg Z sebut dulu ek? huhuhuhu...

tapi tak sure lah kalau dia cuma tersebut jer ker, or dia memang panggil kak yah. sebab lepas2 tu dia still menjerit macam biasa balik bila nak carik kak yah.. but still, its a new word lah.. haritu masa pegi jumpa speech and language therapist, dia mmg suruh kitorang list out perkataan2 (walaupun x de makna) yang Z boleh sebut..

eh, mama blom update pasal assesment dgn speech & language therapist tu lagi ek.. hmmm, nanti lah.. dia kata dia akan hantar report for that assesment soon, nanti bila dah dapat mama update..
