Dylan is 18 months old!

We took Dylan on his review with Dr Terence last Thursday (16 February). The good news is the murmur is getting less obvious and there is a good chance that the holes will close up by themselves. Terence suggested that we only do the scan the next visit after Dylan turns 2. We are keeping our fingers crossed.

The little boy is developing well. He is now 11.9kg and 85cm tall. We brought him to Dr Chong for his final dose of vaccination the same day.

Whenever I look at my little boy, I can't help but feel amazed at the rate he is growing and developing. He is active and playful. He loves to be read to and has developed a liking for puzzles. He is able to count from 1 to 10 with assistance and can say three words in a row (e.g "no more biscuits") and can pronounce words of 3 syllables (such as "crocodile" and "elephant").

It has been almost half a year since he started Shichida and he is enjoying himself in class. For someone so active, it is quite heartening that he is able to sit still throughout the class, concentrates and responds well to the activities conducted.

He will be starting childcare soon, from 1 March. I really wonder what that experience would be for us.
