How God watches over us!
Thank You Lord!
We were asked to share our bite size of testimony in our friday budding aka cell group and my dear wifey shared about how our good Lord had protected Jeremiah.
It happened on that day that i took half a day off to join michele in speaking to Father Adam, a priest from Hong Kong who travels here once a year to share about how to manage a program for Jeremiah's home education. Jeremiah was having lotsa of fun playing pretend drum performance for Father Adam : ) when he suddenly lost his balance and fell forward out of his stroller. Mummy had just placed him back in his stroller without buckling him up as he had been wanting to come out and sit back in his stroller and fussing as we had a three hour or even more session with Father Adam. Thank God Jere managed to break the fall with his hands as he fell out headfirst out of his stroller. Thank You Lord for your protection over Jeremiah!
We were very inspired to do more for Jere. Managed to download the recommended read "What to do when we do not have a doctor" at Hesperian Foundation website.
A comment that Father mentioned that stuck with me "Jeremiah is a special child, a miracle from God that brings the whole family together stronger". Thank God for guiding us there.

What Jere's been up to?
No hospital appointments :P
Ok. Mummy decided to put off all hospital appointments till the H1N1 thing is blown over.
So, NO MRIs, No catheterisation, no medical for the moment coz mummy thinks, if it is nothing life-threatening, we are not gonna put ourselves, especially the little one to any risk. We walk by faith and not by sight.
One week of school has passed since school reopened. This has been the second week of school. Jere's getting the hang of things back again. So you ask, what does Jere do in school. Lemme fill you in. definitely no mean feat ;)
Jere does:
1. Patterning - at least 4 sets of 5 min each time, target is 6 sets at least. However if i focus too much on this, I lose the time to do the other stuff. It's really such a dilemma. To top it all, when I attended the "What to do" course in July 2007, I was told then that Jere should do at least 12 sets a day. How to do>? There's simply not enough time when we are in school, and not enough hands when we are at home.
2. Commando Crawl - Target - 3 sets of 80m. That makes 240m. These days, Jere does 2 sets of 120m. Hhhmmmm, maybe I can slowly increase his distance now.
3. Doggy Crawl - 3 sets of 120m which makes 360m. Now, Jere's been doing 2 sets of 160m which makes us fall short of 40m.
4. Hanging on the monkey bar - Jere has worked up to hanging 19 seconds now. Praise the Lord!
5. Gym work - Jere has been upgraded from an inclined log roll to rolling 3 to 4 sets of 12 rolls each time on the gym mat set up on the floor.
6. Spiritual - Jere loves lighting the candle and saying a little prayer and singing a little song. Now's he's been singing "Who built the ark? Noah Noah!". He now can turn the globe and spot the little red dot that Aunty Lingling has drawn on Israel and say out loud "ISRAEL!"
Of coz, Jere has learnt many other things like opening and closing jar lids, rolling and unrolling of mats on the floor, scooping of beans, dry pouring of beans, pegging and playing balls to refine his motor skills.
Thank God for the Amazing Clouds to keep me on my toes in terms of Jere's schooling.

All in a day's work
Almost daily now ferrying the kids Nat and Jerry to schools, in the morning to St. Gabriels and in the evening both of them to Kumon lessons. Last evening when i dropped by just in time to pick Jerry up for his turn to Kumon cos it was raining, He said "Thank you dar dar for fetching me"..That really made my day's work worth it.
Its the child that really appreciates that shows us the way to the Lord.
Jesus, however, said, "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these." Matthew 19:14

Jere's "likes" and "don't likes"
It was a regular Tuesday morning and we were all doing patterning for the little one, the activity he kinda avoids most so mummy dearest tried to distract him by talking to him and telling him what are the attractive stuff that comes after. Here's how the conversation went.
Mummy: Jere, you wanna do bells? (some sound works that I do with him. Jere loves musical instruments and music)
Jere: YES! (and he starts singing) Jingle bells Jingle bells!
Aunty Say Lian: Oh you like christmas? Do you like Santa Claus?
Mummy: No! He's scared. He's afraid of dress-ups.
Jere: I don't like Santa Claus. I scared.
Aunty Florence: Then what do you like?
Jere: I only like pretty girls!
Everyone burst out laughing!
Aunty Florence: That's a good one!
Wow! At 3 years and 2 days exactly, our dear friend can tell us he likes pretty girls. I thought that was hilarious.
