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.
