From the birthday song dedication during morning assembly (see vid) to cake cutting and goodie bags distribution, C was all grins. Indeed special and memorable for us all. Can you believe this baby of mine is the oldest in his class?

Just today, I left him during snack break to wash his pump. Overheard this kentang boy requesting (in mandarin) for milk from auntie and thanking her for serving it. When I returned, he told me the milk was yummy.
C: yes
Me: how? who fed you?
C: i drank it myself
Me: (checking the cup & table for spills) u sure u drank it?
C: yes i can hold the cup on my own. You see... (demonstrating)
Me: (impressed) wow the cup is heavy and you managed it well
New school term, new milestone, greater independence and speaking better mandarin! 😁
What have I learnt so far after making C go mainstream? Pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone made us realised what we had missed out, our potential and the possibilities. From putting C's immunity to a test, him drinking independently from a water bottle & cup, eating an ice-cream cone, kentang (english-speaking boy) to communicating in mandarin, recognising and writing Chinese characters etc. Things I thought he would not be able to do, he had done it.
Now we believe we can do more.
