It is 29 September 2016.
6 years have passed since my last post and many things have changed.
The first time I created this post was when I had Landon and he was very sick. I almost lost him and I have felt I am solely responsible for his situation.
Since then, I have been thinking about his future, his sickness and delays, the help that he needed. It felt that every second I was kept on my toes. It's as if something bad will happen anytime; if not now, then later.
Landon is six now. He only started talking a year back and it wasn't easy for him. It's equivalent to me taking a third language... for him, talking wasn't natural... it was like a handicapped learning to walk... it took him a year to learn to recognise alphabets... and it took him years to learn to write alphabets. Now we are still trying to teach him to read...
Difficulties... yes... in many ways... some slow kids are hardworking... some smart kids have attention deficit... but it seems that L is slow, unwilling to try and has ADHD. All these factors plus an impatient mum aggravated the matter.
Even though academic is one of my concerns, the biggest one right now is his behaviour. He hits, throws and kicks when he is sad, angry or frustrated.
Seriously, I think he is the only man on earth who has managed to tame my temper, to a certain extent.
Where are we....
Geographically, we have moved to Singapore which is better for the kids' education and we are close to TOP-notched medical facilities.
I can only take a day as it comes... and not give up hope on L.
Many times, I have given up... and then I tried again...
If not me, then who?
