The trip and the test

The trip:
Hubby need to go back to his hometown to fetch his mother to KL (cos she needs to attend to some family matters) and at the same time, send his car to the family-mechanic there. Got a major problem and a repair like that could cost twice as much here in KL. So, what am I going to do when Hubby is not around. Most of the sales that I wanted to go to only starts this weekend, lazy to go out without Hubby (a bit tiring to shop and look after Jon at the same time), my "pard-ner-in-crime" is out of town enjoying herself on Malaysia's beautiful beaches. So, I decided to join Hubby and brought Jon along so that his kong-kong (grandpa) can play with him for awhile.

The test:
I prepared Jon on this trip a day ahead by telling him that we are going back to kong-kong house tomorrow. I asked him to be a good boy, sleep early and wake up early. All he responded was "kong-kong". It was a good start. Jon's speech still needs a lot of improvement. But I can sense his excitement. Maybe because he gets to be spoilt rotten whenever he goes back.

That night, I thought I would have problems getting him go to sleep early. Again, I reminded him that he needs to sleep early if he wants to wake up early to go to kong-kong's house. The next minute, that boy who was still rolling around and playing with his pillow was quiet and sound asleep. Magic magic!

The next morning, we woke up very early to get ready and he got up by himself! Wah... even Hubby was impressed. I was trying to test on Jon's understanding on my words, instructions and what is happening around him. It was quite positive.

So, overall it was a good trip albeit the super hot glazing sunny day.
