MMR jab & assessment..

I brought Dillion for his long overdue MMR jab at his usual Paediatric Clinic yesterday.

Dr Wong did some assessment with D by giving him a book and ask him to point when she asked which is "Bird", "Dog", "Baby", "Ball" etc..
D refused to point even though I know he can recognise every thing she asked but he managed to name most of them.

He surprised me by saying new words - Bird and Baby clearly.

So I was advised to do more flashcards and reading with him and encouraged him to point at things.
Guess I had overlooked this area.. I will usually get him to name the items instead of asking him which is which.

Since D can say between 10-15 words.. he was given the green light for the jab.

Thankfully D co operate with me since Kevin was not with us. PD jab his bum with D in standing position and I distracted him by reciting "A-Z".

His weight and height assessment:
Weight: 10.79kg (increase 800gm)
Height: 83 cm

Finally a Certificate of Vaccination from Dr Wong:


We were told to safe keep this properly as we need this for D's enrolment to childcare/kindergarten.
