Initial Testing

Finally nakapagset na rin kami ng schedule for initial testing kaya excited kami kanina na pumunta. Umabot din ng 1 hour ang initial testing. Hindi naman kasama si Gareth sa loob ng room, maraming tanong ang assistant ng Dev Pedia from the start na binuntis ko si Gareth at hanggang ngayon. May mga tanong about sa genetics, food intake, pregnancy and developments. Minsan kapag may tanong napapatulala ako kasi parang may ibang tanong na kailangan ko pang i-recall yong developments nya.

Ang final test nya nakasched on March 31 at sana meron mas maagang magcancel para mas mapaaga kami.

About his development, madami na syang sinasabi lately at mostly English. Hindi sya masyadong nagsasalita ng tagalog.

I also encourage him to talk, kung may gusto sya hindi ko na agad binibigay. Kinakausap na talaga namin sya ng madalas. Sana tuloy tuloy lang ang development nya.

Gareth at Enchanted Kingdom

We went to Enchanted to Celebrate Valentine's Day. Gareth is the one who enjoys most. He loves all the kiddie rides.

At the entrance.

UP UP and Away

He is really loving it.

That's it! I am looking forward for our next adventure.

Is it Love?

That is Gareth's word for today.

He is watching the trailer of My Valentine Girls by Richard G. and when he heard Jillian speaking he likes it and got so kilig.

He keeps on saying "is it love?" that is something special to us because we didn't heard him before speaks like that. He is not imitating something before.

He is taking his SPED class for 4 weeks. So far he is now becoming talkative but some are hard to understand but he is really trying. This is a good sign because before he is not even trying to talk to us.

I believe in God that soon Gareth will act and speak normally. One day he will!

Development 1

Sa wakas nakapag SPED Class na si Gareth. He is attending SPED class 1/week for 500 pesos per session. Mabuti na lang that his school is offering SPED class too so hindi na kami nahirapan. So far nakapagsession na sya 2 times at natuwa naman kami kasi madami ng improvement.

Dati kulang na kulang sya sa eye contact pero ngayon kapag nagsasalita sya tinitingnan na rin nya kami. Madami na rin syang kinakanta. Very observant na rin sya ngayon. Marunong na rin syang makipaglaro sa kapatid nya at kung may bagong bata syang mameet sya na ang unang ngingiti. Nakakatuwa kasi ang bilis ng development at sana nga tuloy tuloy na to.

May mga nasasabi na rin sya like "NO, Mommy, Daddy, Dede, alis, ayaw, because, why, I'm four, I'm Gareth".
