His IQ Test

BJ took an IQ test two days ago.

His verbal IQ score will be low. I knew it. The examiner ask, "What is an umbrella?" He could not answer. Instead he drew and wrote the word "umbrella". I think he does not have sufficient vocabs for that kind of conversation. Likewise, question like "What is a pig" will not get an answer "an animal". If I ask Lauren, "What is a tiger?" She will say, "It's a mammal" :D

His performance score should be okay. He does look like a boy with average intelligence. I have never wanted a savant child, and I think he does not look like one as well. I just hope that he can grow up and interact with the rest of the society in a non-threatening way.

Apart from getting the results for educational placement, we have to pay a big sum (S11) for this test. So, I have to cut down the ang pow money this year!

Losing His Teddy

For the first time in BJ's life, he experienced a loss. His favorite millenium teddy was lost. Aunty Melba took teddy to NTUC supermarket and left him there. When BJ came back from school, he asked for it. Only then, she remembered that she left it at the supermarket.

BJ cried for an hour non-stop. Stressful LJpa had to console him since LJmum was at school. At last, BJ understood partially, and stopped his tears. When mum got back, he narrated the same story, angrily.... Mum asked him to hug the doggie bolster that naniecheng bought him as a replacement. He agreed. He had nightmare, cried in his sleep. Even this morning, he told me the same story again.

The teddy was his favorite stuff toy. He would have missed teddy very much. Perhaps mum will try to make a teddy for BJ someday. (If mum has the time.....or during her school term break).

Poor boy. But, this is a good lesson for growing up.

BJ is a sentimental guy.....
