Today, we went without Hubby to Jurong Medical Centre for the appointment. It was the furthest place that I had driven alone without a guide. We set off very early at 9.30am, and to my surprise, even though I had driven very slowly, we reached there within 30mins. But it was lucky to arrive early, because the super limited carpark was full. We waited for around 15mins before someone moved. By the time we reached the clinic, it was just in time.
The nurse took his weight (13kg) and height (92cm). He had lost weight. :(
The doctor interviewed me on the milestones of Ian. Just a summary for record:
- Able to say more than 50 words.
- Unable to say 2 words together. (However, now I just remembered that he can say "I want".)
- He cannot say 3 syllables eg. "banana" becomes "nana", "W" is pronounced as "double" without "u".
- Able to point out the things he wants.
- Able to stack more than 6 blocks. The doctor asked him to do a live demo and he managed to stack all the 10 blocks.
- Able to recognise all the uppercase alphabets.
- Able to recognise simple shapes and colours.
- Able to hold a pen and draw circles. (Sometimes, he managed to draw straight lines.)
- Understands his body parts.
- Able to read certain words, eg. body parts, farm animals
- Able to count to 10 and recognise the numerals 1-9.
The diagnosis was that Ian's overall development was ok, except that he should be talking more than present. At his age, he should be able to say 2 words together. We will need to bring him for a hearing test, and also a session with the speech therapist.

However, when the doctor asked him what the object is used for, Ian was stunned. <<< I think this question is hard for a two year old child. I don't think you need to bother too much over this.
Sure hope so, thanks for your consolation!
