May 3-5 came and went. I monitored CJ's convention activities online. From the grandma's daily updates I learned that CJ found a friend and was out playing with that friend while sessions went on. Brilliant. But then I go back to conscious-of-his-issues mode and I reiterate brilliant. He socialized and that's big deal to me. Day 3 was spent celebrating this -
I am happy to see familiar faces: neighbors' and church friends' kids. Some of them are regular guests at CJ's birthday parties for two consecutive years now.
They seem to be sharing a light moment with the audience -
Now I understand why CJ's developmental pediatrician shook her head firmly when I asked, "is it autism, 'Doc?" I braced myself for the worst; and it's one of those rare times when my heart leapt to Cloud Nine for not getting what I expected.
Never mind that I ended up paying for what turned out to be play convention. I just love signs that my money is not wasted on expensive therapy and even more expensive hours at the specialist's office.

Thank God he is just as good as the others!
ReplyDeleteGood thing it wasn't what you expected, I mean, that autism case. For sure the kid is just a happy active toddler who asks a lot of questions.
ReplyDeletewow.... that was a heart warming post. The Little Professor was indeed acting as expected of kids like his age..... For the mommy, more power to you. Congratulations for a very interesting post you gave. I'm very happy for a job well done. Keep it up Mom. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteis cj that kid in the header? :))
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to hear good news. If it's something we paid for and didn't go to waste is something really worth sharing.
ReplyDeleteit is indeed very nice and heart warming to see our own kids socialising or blending with the environment where ever we are! i have a daughter and i know how it feels seeing how happy she is! xx
ReplyDeletemas masaya manood ng mga kids concert...
ReplyDeleteI understand your feeling of relief and indeed the freedom from the worries at the back of your head are all dropping like they weren't there at all.
ReplyDeleteA very proud mom moment for you for sure :)) I, too, am delighted to see him socializing!!! more play convention- it's doing him wonders!
ReplyDeleteWell, your money wasn't wasted indeed. To see your kid's smile enjoying life is a treasure :)
ReplyDeleteHow old is your kid? I think, for pre-schoolers, pagiging makulit is normal. They really like to socialize na rin especially when playing. They want someone to share with their toys kasi nasa "cooperative play" na yung stage nila. Like you, I am always happy how my pamangkin cooperates with her classmates. Ang saya makita na nakikipagkaibigan sya. :)
ReplyDeletewe also have one in the family, but its not something paralyzing. they can as well be too normal along with the others.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that it turned out fine with him
ReplyDeleteand you will worry no more. It's better to
be cautious especially when it comes to
our children's health and normal development.
Its good to know your kid do socialize a lot. ^_^
ReplyDeleteit is alright to step ahead of ourselves sometimes and that is a sign of being a good mom!!
ReplyDeleteYou just said something I've been wanting to hear, mheanne. Not necessarily the good mom bit (although thanks for that) but stepping ahead of ourselves sometimes.
