Today we had Portage lesson, and Gabe just surprised us all. I tell u, this boy is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you{re gonna get with him.
The instructor asked me if Gabe could move from one end to another while holding on. I said no, he can only stand and when he wants to move he{ll sit down n crawl there. Then, while he was in the class, he saw something on the table and stood up holding the table. Then the instructor moved it further away to see what he`d do. Gabe moved....yes he moved his tiny feet toward the object. As in moved along the table!!! Can u believe that??? And i thought he couldn`t do it. Geez Gabe, you`re full of surprises huh.
And secondly, she showed him flashcards, which we hadn`t done before, so i was like `uh-oh`...she showed him 2 cards, and asked me to ask him which was the DOG...and guess what, our friend immediately grabbed the card WITH THE DOG PICTURE!! Hallelujah...but, being skeptical, i took the cards n mixed them up again and asked him again..true enough, he chose the DOG AGAIN...
Next, she showed him cards and one had a chair on it...the instructor asked me if he would know, i said i don`t think so coz he probably only know if it were his Mickey Mouse chair and the picture ain`t look nothing like Mickey...anyways, we did ask him and yup yup yup...he chose the right one!!! Seriously..he made me look so damned good today, like i was the bestest Mummy in the whole wide world who taught him so many things....and look how i underestimated him...
I`m just so so proud of him, my lil boy...everyday is full of tantrums and screaming with him around, but it`s so fully rewarded with days like this.
I love u munchkin...carry on your greatness, show us how this extra chromosome makes you so extra special.
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!
I'm sure there's a lot more Gabe can do, he just hasn't shown them all yet. You've got plenty more up your sleeve, don't you, Gabe?
ReplyDeleteGood work Gabriel! Grandpa had all along know that you can do a lot of things as any normal child can except delayed by about 9 months. Only mummy didn't realize it. Anyway not too late. Challenge Gabriel more in various environment (physical, mental, emotional, social, ...)and mummy will very quickly realize our Gabriel's full potential and gifts.
