PBMT - Day 309
Almost 2 months since Adrian bite off the straw from the cup, he is willing to "resume" using the straw cup again!!! The teacher told us Adrian drank 2 cups of water using the straw cup and finished some cupcakes at snack time. However, the thin tiny paper cup holding the cupcake disappeared after Adrian finished eating it. The teacher wasn't sure if Adrian ate it or hid it somewhere???!!!

PBMT - Day 307
Our quarterly ST session at DK came up today. Mama was ashamed to tell the ST how little improvements Adrian has made in this three months. Adrian still can't blow, can't utilize his lips (e.g. he'd say "us" instead of "bus") and can't juggle his tongue left or right. A good thing that the ST mentioned though, is Adrian loves reading. He actually reads out loud (in his own baby language) and sometimes follow what Mama reads to him and that's how he learns his 1 - 10. So the ST suggested we keep on doing this and continue all the blowing exercise. Really hope we can bring the ST some good news the next time we see him in Jan 2009.

PBMT - Day 306
Adrian will be 2.5 years old tomorrow but he is just like a baby! He knows how to address everyone in the family, knows how to count 1 to 10 in Chinese, starts pointing at things using his index finger and knows approx. only 10 vocabs! Lately we found that he expressed great interests in learning ABC and he can say A - Z roughly at 60% accuracy. Well, will mention all these to the ST (Speech Therapist) tomorrow.

PBMT - Day 304
While Adrian was home napping, Mama & Papa drove to the airport with two suitcases bidding farewell to the Grannies. The Grannies were kind enough to bring part of our stuff (2 suitcases) back to Toronto. After the luggages were all checked in, Mama was curious to know how many luggages can a kid like Adrian check in. Out of our expectation, kids who pay child's fare can take as many luggages as an adult i.e. 2 pieces of check-in luggages & a carry-on bag!!! So the three of us can have as many as 6 pieces of luggages & 3 carry-on bags when it's our turn next year!!!

PBMT - Day 303
What a coincidence that the school is closed today in preparation for the Open Day tomorrow, and Adrian is scheduled to go to the Melamine Clinic at QMH this morning. We mentioned to our doctor at our last visit that Yili UHT milk has been in his diet for over a year and we wanted to have a thorough check up on Adrian just to make sure he is free of kidney stones. Adrian was assigned patient "No. 8" shortly after we arrived QMH at 08:45am! The series of tests include collecting urine & blood samples, going for a kidney ultrasound and lastly seeing a doctor for the final checkup. Seeing that everything is so organised and all the procedures were done in a timely fashion, we were literally done before 11am and Adrian is fine with all clear results! And what's more surprising is we DID NOT end up paying a cent for all the tests performed!!!!

PBMT - Day 300
Following the "hiking" tradition of Chung Yeung Festival, we joined two girlfriends and had a very nice stroll in the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens. Again, it's the first time Adrian got a close look at the animals and everything seemed so fascinating to him. The two Aunties took photos of Adrian along the way and what so funny is even a bunch of Filipinos ladies who walked by got so excited seeing Adrian that they snapped a few photos together with him. We spent the last half an hour in the children playground where Adrian got to play slides, swings and Merry-Go-Round for the first time. Adrian totally enjoyed the garden & mini-zoo experience all in one, he was completed exhausted by the time we left.

PBMT - Day 299
It's the FIRST time Adrian waved goodbye to Mama at school. We are so happy that he's finally getting used to the routine knowing that we will come and pick him up after school.
