Review

Brought DS for his assessment review for 2-3 years old yesterday. Decided to bring him to our family doctor instead of Dr. Koh as I find that our family doctor is more detailed in explaining. As usual, DS is on the 50 percentile (Measurement taken at 34 mths - weight: 13kg, height: 92cm) and since he has been progressing on such scale since young, the doctor assured us that he is growing normally. DS managed to complete all the task stated in the health booklet and this time, though there are still some resistance from him but luckily, the doctor is very patient with him and DS also warmed up after a while (with the sweets and stickers effect).

The only thing the doctor commented is that his speech is still not very clear. I asked the doctor should I bring him to see a speech therapist but doctor said that since DS can express himself, there is no such need except that we need to speak to him slower and pronounce our words clearly so that he can pick up the correct pronunciations (I do admit that I speak too fast at times and my English is not prefect, so DS might have pick up some incorrect pronunciations from me). Now DS already know the Capital letter alphabets but for small letter alphabets, sometimes he will still make some mistakes.

After the review, we went to Tiong Bahru Plaza to collect some vouchers but the shopping mall was too small and there was not much eatery place. We managed to grab our lunch cum dinner at Liao Bejing and after that we boarded the bus back to PS. We roamed around PS for a while before heading home around 9pm plus.
