Things tat happened on the last day of October

In a short while more, we'll be flipping over a new page of the calendar.. Today is the last day of October! N yet, today i wana share with u guys the 2 big things tat happened today.

As usual, in the morn, i got the car seat ready. thought tat after breakfast, mayb in the early noon i will bring Jaden home, but who koes the house is quiet. u guys shld koe wat i mean. Brought Jaden out for breakfast. When we were out from the lift, MIL wanted Jaden to walk on his own, coz sometimes he simply refused to walk n demanded to be carried.

So, at the void deck, Jaden walked to the other side of the wall, n who koes, POMP sound, he fell on the ground, flat. After which came his bitter crying sound! He hurt his lips n it was bleeding. Both MIL n I were shocked, coz he was just away from us for less than 2 seconds when the accident happened. I quickly ran over n carried him up. Jaden was crying like mad, n let MIL take over while I quickly took out the wet tissue to clean his bleeding lips. He felt so painful tat he couldn't stop crying. His legs and hands hurt too.

It took us a little while to cool him down n tried to divert his attention not to think about his swollen lips. After awhile, the bleeding stopped, but his upper lip was swollen. But luckily, v fast he forgot abt the pain. though he found his lips different. He could still drink water from his milk bottle. I was heart pained n sms-ed hubby abt the matter.

Jaden rarely hurt himself so badly, mayb bcoz we protected him too well... very sson he forgot abt the pain though swelling still exists. It didn't stop him from drinking n even eating. occasionally he will use his finger to touch the swollen part. This was 1 of the matter which I wana share. But no worries. After a nap n til now, the swell went down quite a lot. I think will take a few more days to b fully recovered. All I hope is no ulcer...

The next matter which I wana share today was, Jaden scribbling. All the while, when i pass him the drawing board n wanted to teach him to scribble on the board using the pen, but he simply refused to. But today, when MIL was going through this with him, he was willing to scribble using the pen. Yes, i koe, it's slow right?? But i was happy enough that he is willing to scribble. I will get a table for him b4 the holidays, coz I plan to teach him to scribble n colour when i start my break. Being able to scribble is 1 of the stage tat toddlers should come across. Though he reach this stage a bit late, but is ok. as long as he will.

Tingting told me something on Fri. She said, Jaden started all these suddenly, isit got to do with the rituals that he had gone through? I said i dunno. n now, this scribble stage comes too. I told her whether it has got to do with the ritual tat somehow may had 'helped' him, but no way tat i will bring him for the ritual again. i dun wish Jaden to go through that n made him so scared. She said, mayb bcoz of this tats y he started to catch up. I koe we shldn't b so superstitious, but i just act according to my in laws' idea. But it is enough, 2 times r enough. no next time, really.

No matter if his progress got to do with the rituals, I just feel happy if he is catching up. As long as he is not as wat i think (autism), i am ok. Very soon, he is turning 2. I just hope tat all will b smooth for him, and he can catch up with other peers ard his age. He had gone through a lot of misery compared to other toddlers already. It is time for him to be as normal as other kids liao, isn't it?
