Swollen on one side of the face, below the ear. It could be swollen gland too but for my daughter's case, that part is soft not hard, so PD diagnosed as mumps. She is much better now. Thanks Sally. At least she can eat some solid.. The first day was the worst and cried at night 'cos she can't sleep well and told me "painful". Today, she is quite happy and told me "painful no more".. PD said should be fine in 2/3 days 'cos a mild one.
(2005/05) May 2005 Babies
- Thread starter sallyngsj
- Start date
she didn't have any fever 'cos she has taken the mmr jab. In fact, the swell is gone by yesterday, 3rd day. Have you given your son chicken pox jab? Apprarently it is also not 100% protection. However if it occurs, it will be mild one, just a few dots here and there. My friend's child got it in K2. Can I ask you, is your child's montessori daily playgroup class consists of only 2005 children or a mix of 04/05? I asked a few daily playgroups around my area but it is a mix which I'm not in favour of..
leen, yes my boy has taken the chicken pox jab. Not sure abt the playgrp, but i think should be mix as looking at the brochure, it states playgroup from age 17m to 3yrs. However for my boy class at 0830hrs onli 5 kids incl him. N mainly 05 babies. Think onli one is 04. That is why I like cos small ratio.

Sorry to hear about your gal's mumps. Hope she is feeling better now.
Thanks for explaining about Montessori. It seems to be quite interesting, may be good for my gal. She is kinda slow in speech and needed more encouragement. Perhaps Montessori will do her good. Is there any way to know which schools in Singapore uses the Montessori method? I tried searching online but without much results. It seems that the only to find out is to go around the schools in my area to ask or to watch for their adveristing banner.

The ratio is indeed quite good.

caymom, ware u stay? there r lots of montessori now in the market.... some r private n some r franchise... For franchise, u can check out http://www.modern-montessori.com/presch_centres.htm but not all franchise good, u must go check out n see.... mine is private one. U let me noe where u stay, i update u which ones good for private.
caymon,
My eldest boy started speaking only at 2yrs+.. but once he can talk, aiyo, cannot stop talking -very talkative. I think montessori method would be good for your gal. But sorry, dunnoe which is good in the east. MMI is good and reputable but you've to check out the branch you are interested in. Like there's one in my area, I heard that the teachers are not so caring.

Hi May 2005 Moms! My second, a boy was born 5th May. We'll be sending him to daycare soon because I can't hv enuf time with my elder daughter (she's 10). He isn't talking much, and tt's a bit worrying. My girl can't stop jabbering when she was his age. Some people tell me it's slower with boys. But from some of your threads, it doesn't seem so! Should I panic?
hi cowandchick.. welcome here. Boys tend to be slower in speech, that's my experience with my eldest-a boy. My boy started only at the age 2yrs, while my other 2 girls started before 1. So don't worry too much.. as long as he understands what others are talking about.. but again, it depends on individual. Maybe he is the quiet sort?

Thanks leen. That's reassuring. But my boy is really 'quiet'. He makes a lot of unintelligible noises all the time. tt's why i worried. but will wait and see. friend told me push panic button when still not speaking at 3! wait, wait,wait...
Welcome cowandchick n Carol! Me din check lately cos tot no more active here... no one seems to come in n posts liao...... lucky u all come along....... Cool. So anyone celebrating 2 yrs old birthday for your tods? Me in dilemma, my bil wans me to throw a party as last yr I din have one for my boy. But I scare the cleaning up cos me alone at home, no helper. Any good idea for a tod party?

Hi Sally and all. i never really have a big bash-like kind of birthday celebration for my kids, even the older one who will be 10 in June.
We keep it small, within the family, aunts, uncles, cousins. Even then, it is quite an affair. I normally get a cake (my kid's fav is Angie's Choice), and get lunch for everyone, or get my brother or sis to help me with food. We normally hold it on the sunday b4 the actual birthday coz we usually congregate at my mum's place anyway.
It's a simple thing, but my girl likes playing with her cousins. And the best part is, everyone helps to clear up!
Anyway, a friend of mine, who organises fantastic parties for her kids has this advice: the number of (kids) guest to invite should be not more than the age of the child! She says it's more manageable that way, esp if the kids are still very young. At 2 years, I think the parents get more out of the party than the kids!
have fun organising yours!

Hi Sally, me also in dilemma whether to throw a party for my girl. I also scare the cleaning up.
Sorry, me blur blur. I think the gathering I mentioned was from another thread. Been seeing Sally's name in other threads, hence confusion. So glad someone responded.
SAlly> There are professional people organsing. There is one newly open in Great World City. Can check for you. Want to ask whether all of you want to mass celebrate. BTW, I have been starved of friendships since SAHM. So finding opp to get tog with new friends. So may be a bit cheong hei at times.
Cowandchick> Heard boy speaking late too after that they may become chatterbox.

Sally,
Both my family not very big so the party is still manageable. I am also very scared of having big parties. That time her full month celebration, I held it in restaurant near my mom's place. This time, I think maybe just a simple buffet for direct family members as well.

Hi Blessed light, what a coincidence. What time was your son born? One of my neighbours was in the next labour ward when I was gave birth. My hubby met hers outside the two wards. Yours is the 3rd 13th May child that I come across. Congrats on your second pregnancy! Going back to TMC? Who is your gynae?
Hi Zu and Blessed Light and Leen

Congrats to Blessed Light.
