I'm so proud of you ridhwan!!

Haven't been blogging much these days..dunno why ever since I've finished my Msc, I am a bit 'liat' to write in my blog these days...probably being a fulltime housewife and mother is taking up more of my time and gives me less time to spend on the internet only...also, it's to compensate all the time spend on my Msc that I should have spend on Ridhwan...and for that, I could see him progressing really, really well now...alhamdulillah...

For some, when ask what Ridhwan could do, and I would say, he can talk a few words or sometimes 2 words or 3 words sentences and sit on his own and try to stand...most people would react..."oh, okay...." ...but for me, for a mother whom have seen and wondered if her child would even be able to sit on his own and lie down on his back and sit again all by himself...that is a miracle and a blessing for me....Ridhwan has progressed so much and may not be able to walk yet, but his progress shows that with much preserverance, patience and commitment and most of all repetition, a special need child can do what other normal child could do, maybe at a delayed time but can be achieved and realised....

Thus, seeing Ridhwan being able to try and sit on his own, trying to crawl and most of all trying to stand on his feet even when he tends to tip toe, there's a term for that rupanya pun, well, I am very, very thankful to Allah for all the hard work is paying off and more hard work to come to ensure he speaks more and be able to walk, run and jump like any other children his age...insya-Allah...

So, parents out there, if you sometimes show your child flashcards or are teaching your child anything new, like writing, reading or speaking, and your child does not show interest or imitating what you are teaching...don't be despair and give up easily cause your child is actually silently learning and it is only a matter of time he will show you and the world what greatness he can achieve....wallahualam...
