Visit To Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom Jul '14

We are now half way of learning journey through Term 3, there have been great happenings for him.

Family never fail to capture some memorable photos where they matter to exercise our gratitude of each moment being captured. Beside these, he has made several new friends in his social group class, attended a friend birthday party.

Every moment I have with him is a moment I learn from him, selfie is one excuse I use to engage him and exercise joint attention to maximize our moment together and it certainly works for us as we true enjoy it.

A feeling of growth very often requires constant rallying with him and encouraging him to follow good work habits and social rules, teach him with right support whenever a hidden agenda unfolds, so he can maximize his potential where it matters, kudos to his teachers in this on going collaborative effort. I am just thankful that he has come this far but also balance with some play times or even get him to help granny or mum with simple house work when opportunity arises.

Yesterday, we brought him to the butterfly park & insect kingdom at Sentosa to let him explore nature and also in conjunction to his coming show and tell activity in school on the theme "Insect".  He was delighted to have gained some real life experience with the live butterflies.

 It was cooling & beautiful Sunday morning, adult butterflies have large and brightly colored wings. They grow from caterpillars.

We also get to see the insects and butterflies of the world exhibits on display.

He likes butterflies because they have beautiful wings

Out in the nature, he had a chance to feed the parrots and Iguana too.

The butterflies are popular among collectors as an object for art and jewlry, we bought home 1 toy butterfly model and 2 other butterfly souvenirs for him.

At the end of the visit, the joy over the ROCK top it all for an enriching outing.

We left the place for lunch and return home, we will love to bring him around the island for further experience but it was clearly not in his agenda, and we have learnt to be like water and go with the flow to conclude another successful trip.

For 5 days in July, people in our community got to know him and how his deficit means more to others when everyone celebrate his ability to show case what he CAN.

Very soon we shall celebrate Nation 49th birthday, is time to hang out the flat and rejoice in our independence, our only hope is for a more gracious and inclusive society where Love and Peace can be amplify every where within this little red dot.

Come 2nd August, we also look forward to A Very Special Concert to raise fund for a good cause to help benefit more people in this special communities.

We look forward to a positive finish to his remaining Term 3 learning journey.
