I just saw Matt ngisep jempol only for few seconds though.. Mungkin dia lagi bereskperimen.. Si Jet paling demen ngisep jempol, kalo ngga ngisep jempol ngga bisa tidur dia ..

Tantrum
Jeremiah has thrown his worst tantrum yet. He didn’t want to sleep by himself, he cried and screamed.
I have never delivered this level of punishment before and yet it didn’t seem to work on him today. I felt sad and disappointed. I am sad as Jet’s behaviour seems to deteriorate (despite our prayers for his characters). I am disappointed as I have given in to my anger and not using my head more.
It seems that it’s not Matthew that requires control crying. Lina suggested that if he’s making problems tomorrow we should try to ignore him as our negative attention seems to fuel his negative behaviour.
I think we need to pray more for this boy, where has the old Jet gone?
Having said this, I need to remind myself that Jet is still a lovely boy though, he’s still happy, clever and articulate boy. And I thank God for that.
Matthew – 2nd month
Smiley Matt.
We went to FOCUS Grad Camp 09, this is Matt’s first camp, hopefully more to follow. The camp was marked with extreme heat, I think it was around 40-ish degree on the hottest. Matt was coping with the extreme heat quite well, thank God (although me and Lina weren’t).
Matt taking a bath.
Matt has grown a lot too, his height and weight are nearly topping the growth chart. Lina also mentioned Jet’s 5 months old clothes don’t fit Matt anymore.
Apart from his habit of sleeping during the day and waking up at night, I really enjoy him.
More interactions with Matt
Over the last few weeks, it appears that Matt has an increased awareness of people and faces.
For instance, whenever I walk around the room, his eyes would follow. And also, the best part is, he’s now able to smile and more recently laughing audibly whenever someone is looking at him face to face.
Grandma and grandpa have also been able to have some sort of conversation with Matt.
This is a little joy worthy of thanking God for, especially as we are still really struggling with accommodating both Jet and Matt in our life.
