I haven't stop writing

It's been almost two months since my last entry.


Trying to get back into writing mode takes time and I could understand why some writer take such a long time to write a book.

Alex's progress ... unbelievable! He is talking in sentence, sometimes very clear and sometimes not. More often than not, we can understand him. He is happy and ALWAYS TOO HUNGRY.

Summer School Holiday started this week. Last Monday was his last day at Rainbow ... it was emotional at the end. All the teachers knew they had to say goodbye to Alex one day but when the time came, they just cannot let go. I will miss them because they have been so great with Alex.

Come September, a new chapter will open for Alex. We won't know if he will be happy at Addington ... similarly to our initial reaction to Rainbow. It turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to us.

Many things happened in the last 6 weeks since my last entry. Erin came and gone, she was so good with Alex and we missed her so much. Thankfully it's not long that we'll be seeing her again. Alex and I will be flying back to Malaysia in December and so will the kids and Adrinna. It's an exciting trip since it's my 40th birthday, a complete family reunion bar Jeremy and Bill and a reunion with my old school mates that I have not seen for 23 years. We all got back in touch through Facebook and despite what people say about the social site, I think it brings people closer. I regularly write to my cousins that I haven't seen for ages and catching up on their latest news.

I am also in the midst of registering our group Friends of EarlyBird as a charity group to support parents/carers with children within the spectrum. More of this will be revealed.

I will try my very best to update Alex's progress as often as possible. Writing this blog help me through many dark hours and gave inspiration to some of my friends. I hope I can continue to inspire and continue to give hope to anyone reading this.
