Moooooo

Today is a good day, which is why I have so many posts...lol

Anyway, Rayyan is on a blowing spree today! We made him blow whistles, horns and harmonicas! He could do it! Gosh, I have never heard such beautiful sounds before!!

And then while he was still on a blowing spree, we asked him to make the sound 'mooo' and boy, did he try! It wasn't a perfect 'mooo' but it was 'mooo' alright!! Well done, Rayyan!! *big round of applause*!!!


Huff and Puff

and blow the candle out!!!

Rayyan can blow out a candle now!! Yippeee!! I'm so going to get him a big cake with four big candles for his birthday!!


Yes, whatever little success that we have with Rayyan just makes me so happy and proud. It makes me learn to appreciate the little things in life. Thank you Rayyan for opening Mummy's eyes. I love you....

Resources

I was just reading my earlier post regarding the horn when I thought it would be great to share this local website that sells stuffs for special needs children. It is not easy to get these teaching aids here in Singapore so I am glad I came across this website. You can check out the website here..


Here are some of the things I bought..

Horns and whistle to help with oral motor skills

Echo Mike which is pretty cool too... but Rayyan doesn't want to use it till now..

Social Story book... Rayyan loves this!

Pencil Grip to help Rayyan with writing.. It is very good but we do not use it much as we are concentrating more on Rayyan's oral skills now..

Hope the website helps! :D

Bloooowwww!!!

This morning Hubby told me that Rayyan can finally blow a horn!! Yup, till now we can't get Rayyan to blow. It is just something that is so difficult for him to do. I have burnt countless candles and demonstrated to him many times but he just couldn't blow!

But Hubby told me that when he was playing with Rayyan yesterday night, Rayyan managed to blow the horn!!! Wooohooo! I was so happy that first thing when he woke up at 6.30am this morning, I passed him the horn and asked him to blow! Hahaha... Our dear boy was feeling groggy and all but he managed to show me his newly acquired skill! Thank you for making Mummy's day darling!

Btw, I just gave Hubby a new task. He must teach Rayyan to blow the candles so that he can finally blow out the candles on his birthday cake next month. Good luck Hubby! ;)
