Aishite, Glad you liked the Red Sports story as much as I did. What struck me about them was that winning is secondary, and character comes first. If all parents took the same approach our Singapore education system will not be what it is today. Pilgrim Mom http://pilgrimparent.wordpress.com

Handydog, thanks :-)I hope your child is settling into nursery well. I volunteered for a few days a couple of weeks ago, to help settle in the nursery kids. Most were ok though there were a couple of teary children. It must be hard for them to transition from a home environment with familiar...

Hi all, My eldest was in St James for four years, graduated last year and is now in P1. My second is in K2 also at St James. I enrolled my kids at St James mainly because it is a Christian school. But I like the school for other reasons - the staff are dedicated, the cost is reasonable, the...

Jeanyard, If baby's poo is normal, and he's still peeing regularly, then probably nothing to worry about. But suggest you check with paediatrician at next visit just to be sure. All the best! Pilgrim Mom http://pilgrimparent.wordpress.com

Jeanyard, Yes it does get yellower when frozen, though when thawed and after a good shaking looks like ordinary milk. Maybe it's different for different moms? As long as you are freezing, storing and cleaning properly it should be fine. Hope this helps! Pilgrim Mom...

Jeanyard, Sorry for the late reply. I'm still partially breastfeeding baby at nights and once or twice a day. When I'm at work, baby takes expressed BM or formula. Two weeks sounds about right. You might want to wear breastpads for the initial few days to be on the safe side! Best...

Hi Jeanyard, I'm currently expressing only once or twice a day. I'll b/feed before work, and express when I'm back. At the start, yes there is some leakage or engorgement. To resolve that, do a partial expression, say during lunch. Don't empty your breasts completely. Just enough to relieve...

Hi all, I started blogging after I had #3 as a way to remember. The childhood years will slip away and before long all I have left are the memories. I also decided to blog as a way to share stuff that may be helpful to other moms. I'm no expert but I know I learn best from other moms...

Precious Gem, Thanks so much for the kind comments! I think ALL moms are great :-) We're just people trying to do our best by our kids. And we all need a little help - so I try to share whatever I think could be useful to other moms. Drop by when you can - I try to post once or twice a week...

Hi all, It's so good to read the experiences of fellow moms who are older. I had my first at 29 and my third at 35 and what a world of difference. My energy level was certainly much greater on the other side of 30. But you know what, what I've lost in youthful zest, I've gained in experience...

Marsden Swim School has good instructors and I was told that Aquaducks is also good. Don't have websites offhand but you shd be able to find it quite easily via a search. But you might need to travel to their designated premises. Pilgrim Mom http://pilgrimparent.wordpress.com
