Rained heavily this morning (1100-1200).Brought raincoat & helmet for Shafiq.He didn't make a fuss about wearing the raincoat,like he used to,guess he knows that he has to put it on. Shafiq is my youngest son,10 years old and a Downs syndrome special child.He is quite small for his age,he looks about 8 years old. He can't speak a word,just makes sounds, and communicates with his hands and facial expressions,especially his round adorable eyes. But he can laugh with glee and giggle when he watches his favourite cartoons or VCDs. If he likes the VCD he'll watch it again and again and again.we all get tired of it and bored but he never gets bored until the disc is badly scratched and unwatchable ,mainly due to his handling, thrusting the disc in our faces until we play it for him.Shafiq the VCD fiend. Whenever the elder kids bring back a new VCD,he'll be the one to check it out first.If there's some new cartoon or kiddy movie advertised on tv,he'll gesticulate as if to say `I want it.I want it'. He likes to look at magazines with cartoon characters he is familiar with like Disney's,Doraemon,Sinchan ,Dragon Ball. Good night,Shafiq,sweet child of mine.
