It was time for my son’s nursery quarterly review (at least that’s what I call it). Hubby was supposed to go but I wanted to be there too. I have a list of questions I wanted him to ask the keyworker & the look on his face was becoming desperate. I know what he was thinking — that if he messed up & forgot to ask one of my KEY questions, I’ll go berserk. So I turned around & just told him to pick the earliest slot on any day I’m supposed to take pogiBoy to day care & I will meet up with the keyworker instead. He sighed & agreed instantaneously. He wants to be there too but there’s no available schedule for both of us.

So today I had a chat with Sonia, pogiBoy’s keyworker, and whom I really like from the start. She’s very mum-sy yet firm. She suggested we get pogiBoy a velcro trainers so he can easily put his shoes on/off like the other kids. All his shoes are lace-up so he’s struggling & gets frustrated when a staff needs to help. She also told me to force pogiBoy to “ask” for things he wants, instead of just giving him what he’s pointing at.

Overall she said his progress was remarkable in the four months he’s been with them. He’s also shown proficiency in 3D puzzles and wooden jigsaw. That he plays nicely with kids though he loves rough play & wants to wrestle & tumble which some bigger toddlers do not understand. Amongst his class he’s the only one who can barely speak but she says we shouldn’t worry as he is starting to use words more often & that he’s just a bit lazy. She says he’s lovely & very likeable & has good concentration & eye-contact. He does understand simple instructions & has settled into their routine very well. He apparently love singing & dancing/prancing around. One thing they noticed though is he easily dozes off in the mornings. I told her about his weekend routine of nap time twice a day.

So it’s done. But I forgot to ask for a copy of the report – d’oh! I might hear it from hubby hehe
