Belated Xmas Present!

Jayden's mummy :- "Hubby got ahDen this box of Thomas train set a day after Christmas so i labeled it as belated xmas gift for him. Jayden loves train.... and he loves Thomas. The day before when we went to Uncle Pau's place, he wanted to bring Nathan's train back home. When we said no, he really broke down into tears. Since hubby had been promising to get him a train set long time ago, we finally bought one for him at Little Me Suria Sabah tat nite.

He was thrilled with it and wanted to carry the big box by himself at the shopping complex. We didn't let him play wid the train set when we got home, for he had been a naughty boy while we were shopping. So we waited til the next day and assembled the train set for him. He was thrilled and excited, juz looking at the train making circles on its tracks. Hopefully he'll love his new toy! "

ahDen looking fierce! Can't wait to open the box!

mummy : Haf to pose nicely... else take again ar!

piggy face! Really cant wait to open his present!

Some photos of the assembled tracks... the cow doesn't come wid it, i placed it there in the wagon!

Christmas 2009

Jayden's mummy :- "25th December 2009 - On this date, Jayden has officially been in Kota Kinabalu for 2years. Wow... how fast 2years had gone by juz like tat. We had agreed to have him baptized today. He's 2+ years old now, and perhaps we should had brought him to be baptized earlier, but there were too many things tat kept us wondering if it is the 'right' time yet! Thank God, we finally overcame all our doubts and pick this special baptism date for him.

It was really a very hard job to keep him still on the stage before the pastor baptized him. He was struggling as usual, and when the pastor placed her hand on his forehead, he was trying to move away from her. ;))

So on this special christmas, ahDen was baptized - 25th December 2009 at Inanam Methodist Church. A memorable date to be remembered by us and we hope that Jayden will continue to grow in Christ! "

another new song!

Jayden's mummy :- "21st Dec 2009 - Tonite while we are on our way to Karamunsing, ahDen amazingly sung 'Amazing Grace'! He is brilliant.... at least hubby & I think he is!

Well, not the whole song but honestly i didn't teach him this song. I do sing it out loud sometimes. Actually hubby found this great song mixture of 'Amazing Grace & Jesus Loves Me' on Youtube and he let ahDen watch it quite often, but none of us actually taught him how to sing the song.

He was sitting at the back passenger seat and i was starting to sing 'Amazing Grace' at a very slow pace. Then i purposely left out some of the wordings and he filled up all the wordings correctly! Both hubby & I exchanged glances when he got one after another of the words correctly!

Hubby & I love 'Amazing Grace'. This song just calm our hearts and it is so soothing. Now, ahDen loves this song too! It's all God's Grace!

The wonderful site to share :- Amazing Grace/Jesus Loves Me "

xmas gift from 'nye-ma'!

Jayden's mummy :- "This 'nye-ma' the older she gets, the more 'pattern' she has! hahaha... My sister-in-law whole family came to KK last 2weeks, and 'nye-ma' immediately bought a xmas present for ah Den and asked my SIL to bring it over for him!

I've grown so old but never got any xmas present from my mum yet... hahaha... ahDen is juz so fortunate, getting so much love and attention from ppl around!

When ahDen saw the present, he juz can't wait to open it. We let him do so, and when he saw tat it was a box of puzzles, he was very happy. He even wanted to hug tat box of puzzles to bed! "

ahDen : ~so troublesome...~

'little monk!'

Jayden’s mummy :- “ 8th December 2009 - I was totally speechless after the haircut. It was an accident... a mistake! My boy struggled so much during his haircut, even when he was held down by three men. Can u imagine how strong ahDen is? At first we decided to shave his hair like little army boy (the previous cut) but halfway through he banged his head on the shaver and the clip came off. The shaver went right through his hair and touching his scalp, leaving a big hole in his hair. *_* "'

OMG!!! I was speechless and i juz stared at him, sighing deeply in my heart. OMG! OMG! The chant went on in my heart.... This time is really little monk! Jayden is bald! After we came back, i was still kind of shock. But after a night’s rest, today i’m more used to his new hairstyle. Bald or not... still we love him as much! This i really have to remember. Mummy is going to show you all these photos one day, ahDen! ”

5th & Final Day @ Glory Kids CC

Jayden's mummy :- "Today was pretty bad. Sigh! Jayden was crying so hard when we left him at the school. When hubby carried him inside the classroom, he was reluctant to let go of daddy's hand. And when daddy said goodbye to him, he was clinging onto hubby's hand even harder. Finally when daddy went out, he was wailing.

Sigh! Both of us felt terrible. We stood outside the classroom, listening to him. He didn't stop crying yet when we left. Hubby said we'll come back to get him earlier today.

Around 11.30am, we were there at the school again. This is most probably the last time i'll ever step into Taska Glory again. The most important thing is Jayden doesn't like it there. When he saw his daddy, he was so excited and happy, pulling daddy's hand and waving goodbye to everybody! The principal juz asked me if he was on medication today, i said 'yes! He was on medication for the whole week okie!" He had runny nose & cough and i'd said tat to her the first day we brought him there. She juz told me Jayden was extremely grumpy today and cox they were celebrating someone's bday today and he couldn't wait for the cake!

Tis afternoon we'll bring ahDen for his assessment. Hubby discussed with me last nite and told me tat even if ahDen is fine, we'll let him go to playschool later and we'll look for another school. I can sensed tat he was really unhappy. He said the principal kept on saying tat other ppl paid to have holiday fun at the school and it wasn't fair tat ahDen was ruining it! Money! Money! Money! So hubby said it's pretty clear tat they find ahDen a nuisance. Even if we were to let him go back to the school, the teachers will most probably treat him differently.

Sigh! I just hope my son is okie. Even if he doesn't go to playschool and i will have to take care of him, I really don't mind. I juz pray tat he's fine.... "

4th Day @ Glory Kids Child Care Ctr

Jayden's mummy :- "Today when we reached the school, Jayden again showed some signs of reluctance of going into the class. So hubby handed him over to me and i hugged him inside the classroom. All the other kids were playing wid toys and he didn't show any signs of interest but to continue clinging onto me.

The principal was there and she greeted Jayden. He just ignored her and pretend to look elsewhere. Aunt Joan tell us tat he owest pretend not to see her. Hahaha.... Then Jayden was looking at the toy cars on the floor, so Aunt Joan asked another kid if he's wiling to share the cars with ahDen. The kid nodded okie and ahDen was looking at the toy cars. He seemed alright so i told him tat mummy gotta go now, but i'll be back to pick him up later. He didn't respond to my statement although i tried to tell him tat again. So i assumed tat it's okie for me to leave.

When i left the room, he turned and saw tat i wasn't there, Jayden started crying. Tis is the first time he cried when it's time to part wid his parents. Hubby & I juz walked off and hid outside the classroom. We saw tat Aunt Joan was talking to him but still he dashed outside of the class. Later a male teacher was entertaining ahDen wid some kind of toys on his hands, and ahDen juz stood there looking at him. He had stopped crying and I dare not let him sees me juz in case he started crying again. When i saw tat he was okie, i left. Hubby said tat we shall return to the school earlier today to check on him.

We reached the school pretty early today, before 11.30am. We stood outside, not wanting to disturb the other kids. We were chatting wid an auntie there, who was waiting for her boss's daughter. She told us ahDen was very happy there, keep on running around the school like it is his house and he loves to play hide and seek. Then she told us tat we can ask the principal if they'll recruit our kid today. So in we went, to spy on little Jayden. Hubby was hiding outside the classroom again and peeping inside. One of the teacher saw hubby and she called Jayden and tell him tat his daddy is here. Then we saw Jayden came out of the classroom and he came running. He was delighted when he found us hiding in the corner. Hahaha.... he's so cute!

When i ask Aunt Joan about whether ahDen's being recruited, she told me tat she need to discuss further wid me. Sigh! Bad sign. So hubby took the desperate ahDen to the car first, and i went in the office wid the principal. Aunt Joan say from wat she observed these few days, Jayden got a bit of 'autism'. She said tat he'll scream, not really socialising wid the other kids, then it's either no-focus or too-focus onto sth. Besides tat he's always running around, and being hyperactive. She said from wat she would say is he's categorise into the 'special children' group. I was really holding back tears. I wasn't worried if the school doesn't want him, juz tat i was worried for ahDen.

Aunt Joan recommended us to bring ahDen for an assessment first before they consider if they'll take him in. Sigh! She gave me a number of another member of the church whose running this centre for special children. I've made an appointment. Tmr afternoon we'll bring ahDen there for an assessment. We all do pray hard tat he's fine. No matter wat, we still love Jayden very much! "

3rd Day @ Glory Kids Child Care Ctr

Jayden's mummy :- "Jayden woke up about an hour earlier than usual today. He juz wouldn't want to go back to sleep. We were worried tat he might be fussy at school later if he's sleepy. At breakfast, he doesn't eat much either. I was worried tat he'll starving if he doesn't want to eat anything at the school later.

When we reached the school, he wasn't tat excited to get into the class like he was the day before. The kids are playing with blocks today and hubby carried ahDen in his arms into the class when he saw tat he was kind of reluctant to go in. I waited outside cause the principal forbides too many parents into the class with the reason tat we'll scare the other newcomers. Hubby took his time with Jayden inside, talking to him and 2 other kids.... a boy and a gal. When hubby waved goodbye to ahDen, the other 2 kids waved back at him. Hahaha.... so funny. The cute gal keep on looking at hubby and wave at him while ahDen was barely paying attention to his dad.

Then hubby came out of the classroom. We peeped secretly into the class on our way out to the carpark. AhDen was trying to get out of the classroom when he saw his daddy was no longer there. But the principal was standing at the doorway, blocking him from running out and when he saw tat he couldn't run past her, he immediately turned and went back inside to play. ;))

Today hubby was extremely busy so i went by myself to pick ahDen up. When i reached, i was already running late. It was around 11.50am and the usual classroom where we pick up our kids was empty. I must be pretty late today and i started to worry if ahDen is alright. Will he be crying when he saw tat no one was picking him up??? I went on in towards the other classrooms trying to find Jayden but he was no where to be found. One of the teacher asked who was i looking for, and suddenly there's my son, coming out from another corner around the coridor. Hmmm... wat was he doing there?

There was a teacher behind him, was he playing wid her? When he saw me, he pretend to run past me and ignoring me. After awhile, he came back and pulled me by my hand towards the carpark. Then i told him we had to go and get ur bag and basket. So off he lead me back inside to get his stuffs. I asked the principal how was he today and she said everyone was good today. She said ahDen sat down & ate with the others. Phew! Thank goodness he does have some progress and then ahDen waved goodbye at the principal.

When he was in the car, i noticed again tat he didn't drank much water today. I told him to sit nicely since mummy had to drive today, and he sat down well and I fasten the safety belt around him. Helped to wipe off some of his sweat and when i gave him his bottle, he juz drank and drank from the bottle non-stop. I chatted with him on the way home but he was totally quiet compared to his usual self. He seems to be more calm down and a little more disciplined than before, and i really wonder if he's happy at school or not.

He didn't really look at me much during the whole trip home. He was just sucking on his bottle and looking outside the car. I really wonder if my son is angry with me for sending him to school. Well, if he can learn to be more discipline at school it is really good. But if he really doesn't want to go to school yet, i wont force him either. Let's juz see how will the outcome be by the end of this week!"
