Let's look for the Russian dolls for Jere to play to improve his manual competence as he takes the small ones out of the big ones. Hhhhmmmm, maybe I could find them in my mum's place... Grandma just seems to love to collect all these kinda stuff and I am quite sure I can find it there :P
We've managed to get a contact who is selling off their brachiation ladder third hand. Maybe we should go get the brachiation ladder and put it over the bed! That way, we don't have to worry about them falling and they should be able to stand on the bed on tiptoes and grasp on the rungs of the ladder and swing. Also, Jere could very well use that as an overhead ladder to start walking and straighten his feet. Now how cool is that :P
Right now, Jere has been hanging on the brachiation ladder at his centre and can hang a good 20 seconds on his good days.
A song for Brachiation :) to the tune of Alouette:
"Bra-chi-a-tion,
We love Bra-chi-a-tion
Bra-chi-a-tion's the game we love to play.
First we put the left arm out
Then we put the right arm out -
Left arm out, right arm out, oh...."
Thank You Lord for opening up the doors!

Mobility: Confirmed Creeper!
I read in Glenn Doman books:
The goal at stage III, the midbrain - mobility competence, this level is for the baby to reach a total of 400 yards of creeping in a day.
1 yard = 0.9144 m
400 yards = 360m
creeping is moving in all fours in a quadruped position.
and yes, Jere has surpassed that. Jere's creeping a good 400m a day (recorded) of coz he creeps more than that in reality coz that is his main form of transportation which we do not purposely record.
The more he creeps, the closer he is to total midbrain development. The more he creeps, the closer he is to walking. AMEN!
Right now, Jere is a confirmed creeper. He creeps in cross-pattern. He goes wherever he pleases. Thank You Lord!
How right Glenn Doman books have said that they have never seen a baby who can creep four hundred yards who can't pull himself to a standing porsition holding onto a piece of furniture. Jere pulls himself to a stand. Only thing is his right foot is bent inwards and feels rigid while his left foot seems a little floppy. This prevents him from standing properly. Please pray that his feet will be straighten and strengthen and be what they should be. I believe Jere will walk and without walking aids! AMEN!
An activity to start: Place Jere at the bottom of the stairs and encourage him to creep up. This activity should be advocated at stage III as it puts the child into a position where his body is approximately 45 degrees from the steps, thus working toward being in an upright position.
On average, Jere takes approximately 2 min 11 s thereabout to climb up a flight of 20 stairs. Way to go! my little angel!

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.

DON'T STOP!
DON'T STOP! DON'T GIVE UP!
That's the latest cheer that Jere came up with while he does his commando crawl and doggie crawl daily.
Picture the little one doing the commando and saying that "DON'T STOP! DON'T GIVE UP! Keep trying!"
Really melts my heart! He's just 33 and a half months!
My little warrior! He will be exalted of the Lord, the meaning of his name! AMEN!

I want to say something....
Jere said the above as we were praying the closing prayer after our therapy program.
Every Wednesday, I take Jere to Clouds of Praise to have some exercise, in other words, therapy. We usually start and end the session with a prayer and a song of praise.
This time, after the session when we were saying the closing prayer and everyone said their bit, Jere went....
"I WANNA SAY SOMETHING...."
Marcus korkor who was beside him heard him and said it out so his mum Cassey went, "Yes, Jere you wanna say something?"
Jere nodded and went, "JESUS, HELP ME TO STAND. HELP ME TO WALK. BLESS THE CHILDREN HERE AND MUMMY. AMEN"
My eyes welled up and rolled down uncontrollably. I always get emotional when Jere speaks like that.
Lord, you hear the cry of the child Lord. Jere has asked, Lord. Let Jere receive, Lord. RESTORE JERE LORD. HEAR THE MOTHER'S CRY NOW LORD. Thank you Lord. AMEN!

Patterning
We finally started our patterning.
Guess God has His ways to get us started.
I wanted to start this from the time I attended the Glenn Doman's "What to do" course but due to lack of hands, we never really started.
Then, our dear helper of 5 mths said she wanted to go home last month (yes, when she was just 4 months with us) so I took another helper to train.
So there was an overlap and finally I kinda had enough hands to do patterning... so I wasted no time in getting it started as soon as I got the new helper in on the 22nd April.
Thurs night 24th April - our very first serious session of 30 counts!
Fri morning 25th April before going to work - 1 session of 30 counts!
Sat 26th April, 2008 - 1 session of 30 count and 1 session of 10 count
Sunday 27th April, 2008 - 4 sessions of 40 counts
Praise the Lord! Thank you Lord for sending the help.
