His pacute pose! :)

Update!!

Sorry for not updating this blog. Actually we are very busy for the last months because we concentrate on Gareth's therapy.

Here are the things that he can do since he started his therapy and taking DAN supplements:

So far he is doing well and he has already few words now. He is also not wearing diapers anymore because he can now go to the restroom if he need to pee and poo poo.

Gareth is not also drinking the common milk but only Rice Milk from Healthy Options. He can consumed 7 boxes of Rice Milk in a week.

He can also follow simple instructions and it seems that he has little awareness to his environment. He don't have public tantrums and I am so glad for it.

When we are eating in the restaurant, he can now eat independently. He has favorite restaurants and food already.

Since he has a little sister, he is showing affections too. He kisses her little sister while sleeping and they are always playing.

He loves to master the different sounds of the letters. He can also point the letters and numbers. He can count from 1-100.

He says his I Love You everyday! That is the most amazing part of being a mom.

When I ask for a kiss, he will give me kiss. I so love it.

Things that need to work out:


1. Speech
2. Interaction
3. Sense of Danger
4. Focus on School Activity



He loves Time Zone. :)






During our Visita Iglesia

Smile..

I am happy because he is trying so hard to interact with us but only if he is interested. This picture was taken when I am showing to him my camera and he is amazed when he saw his face. 

More words...

Since last month, when Gareth started imitating words, we have so much fun teaching him to talk. He is learning fast.. he is now imitating different words, sounds and of course songs. He is also learning to sing Filipino Songs like Ang Bayan Ko and Lupang Hinirang. I am so proud of him.

I am so happy that he continues learning and I can't wait for more.

At the Party

This pictures were taken during the First Birthday of Pillow (Gareth's Little Sister). As you can see, he is not really enjoying the party. I rented an inflatables so that he can still enjoy the party.

I hope next time he will be more aware so that he can enjoy a party like this. Please God...

Gareth's Last Song Syndrome

Gareth loves music. If he is so silent and not focusing on us, we can easily get his attention through his favorite music. When we are going to his the therapy center, he is singing and I can't figure out the title of the song so it's hard for me to join him.

Then I realized that it was a Tagalog song. Gareth seldom sings tagalog songs so it really surprised us hear him tried it. By listening to the tone, I confirmed that he is singing "Ako'y isang pinoy, may sariling wika" and so happy that he is really trying. Though it's hard to understand because he has a hard time pronouncing it but I am so happy.

I think he learned it from school.

Here's the thing:

Gareth attended school since last year but he is not that cooperative. When he started his OT and SPED therapy for 4 times a week there are a lot of improvement and mostly noticeable development.

He is into GFCF diet for a month now and so far I love it! He is now more focus. He can imitate words little by little. His behavior is controllable. He is now behaving in public unlike before that he will just throw tantrums whenever and wherever he wanted.

Just this afternoon, we went to DFA for my kids passport application. I didn't expect Gareth to behave all through out the process. He is behaving normal and just silently sit and waited. When it is time to take picture he is somewhat afraid and feel uneasy and luckily, hubby brings the PSP and put it above the camera, then Gareth has a nice passport picture. So proud of him!

There are some development and I will discuss it more next time!!

Have a blessed day everyone!!

Say what?

I have a good news! Gareth's lesson is about imitating words. This is the hardest part because Gareth is not fond of imitating words but he can memorize a songs of Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars. So, I keep on reading the teachers note after every session so that we can practice at home.

Just this week, I am teaching Gareth on imitating words.

Me: Say "Ahhhh"

Gareth: Ahhh

Me: Say "O"

Gareth: Say "O" (yes sometimes he keeps on saying "Say")

Me: Say "Mommy"

Gareth: "Mommy"

Me: Say "Daddy"

Gareth: Daddy

Me: Say "Pillow" (His sister's nick)

Gareth: "Dibo"

Wow!! I am so amazed of his development and so happy how fast he learns it. I am so thankful and happy!

Sometimes, I am frustrated because of slow development but I have to remind myself that we should wait patiently and pray to God that everything will be alright.
