Balloning exprience

Last weekend, we were at MV.
As usual there were some kids having some free balloons.
As usual, Jon wanted to grab other kid's balloons.
As usual, the parents will try to look high and low for these free balloons.
As usual, we manage to "grab' some balloons for Jon.

The one place balloons were given out freely was in front of C4 where DBKL (I think) was having some community service kind-of-thing. Actually, I was aiming for the balloons and was not paying attention on the activities. After getting the balloons, we were ushered to the measuring station to measure Jon's height and weight. Then the "community service" lady did a short consultation on Jon's growth chart. Weight... ok. Height... ok. Good he is in the correct range for his age. Then comes the other skills... climb stairs... ok. Write... ok. Speech... hmm... need improvement. Thank God I realise that problem way before, so I did not get paranoid about it.

It was good that someone has come up with this "community service" stint. It would be better/ helpful if there are pamphlets for the parents to refer to in case of any problem with the child, ie. speech problems. Maybe they could recommend some solutions like going for a hearing test, speech test (if there is any) or constructive ways to communicate with your child to encourage him to talk more and etc. Oh well, one step at a time.
