Kam, last night put raeanne to bed at 945pm n she only slept at 12 midnight!?! Because she napped from 130pm to 5pm. They will not wake her up lor n if she fidgets on the netted bouncer they will only rock her back to sleep. I so sian to put her there sometimes cos I have to suffer after that.
See how, if can get lift from Mylife then i bring both gals. If not then Bo bian Liao. Without hubby support, also quite tough to go so far.

Pauline: How come it is tough to look after 2 kids when you have maid? is it because you do pumping as well? I am just curious so I can learn for myself.
Just read your blog re grammatical error, I have been reading around and many advises are not to correct our kids when they speak wrongly. It's not a good time to bog her down with complicated rules as she just has begun feeling comfortable with verbal capabilities to experiment with combining words to form sentences.
For example: when you she ask you "where airplane", you can say: "Yeah, where is airplane?" and slowly she will follow and she'll eventually make sense of her non-sensical native tongue. Don't say: No, you are wrong. It should be "where is airplane" ;-)

elmo,
Aiyo, you also got caught ah, so unfortunate. I always look out for the TP cos it's me who doesn't belt up most of the time, cos I need to attend to my girl at the back and my boy in front. Gonna be extra careful liao.
kitsune,
For me, I thought HR must have me to accompany him to go to sleep. But after my mum left, I just can't do it, too tiring and stressful for me. So hubby took over the job. Yes, HR cried for the first few nights. But hubby comforted him, talked to him, after that, he has no problem sleeping on time every night with hubby. It's a BIG relief for me, though I felt sad (cos it seemed that it's me who think that he MUST have me, but apparently daddy can do the same job) that I cannot put my boy to bed anymore (or till I can be "detached" from my girl) and I do miss hugging him to sleep A LOT!
tongtong,
This is the extract from the TP website http://driving-in-singapore.spf.gov.sg/services/Driving_in_Singapore/Faq/seatbeltfaq.htm#size
What if my child is below 8, but big-sized. Does he still have to wear a child restraint?
>>In such cases, children should use booster seats to raise their height to the level where they can safely use adult seat belts. Traffic Police will exercise flexibility in these cases.

pixie,
I'm interested in the CB bp. Do you know how the aromatherapy sprizter works? And which sunscreen is better? The Everyday one or No Fragrance? Paiseh hor, so many questions
I recently bought the Aloe Vera cream from Watsons for $29.90...so heartpain to see the bp selling at $17 only
We brought B swimming last week and he kena the "heat rash" again next day...we're wondering if he's actually allergic to the Coppertone kids sunscreen??

Blessedbaby yup cos I pump as well n I need to massage n press boobs very often to prevent blocked ducts. Also raeanne eats n sleeps very little. Sometimes she can wake up after just 30 mins then I got to try n put her back in bed again.
kam hubby was putting her to sleep initially but he always let her tire herself out n cry n scream. Before he carry nopst her to sleep usually around 11+pm. I dun like her to sleep so late lor, that's why I take over again.

aromatherapy sprizter = you spritz into the air like some aromatherapy air refreshner. its good for tired, cranky or sick children (flu, haze etc) coz the aromatherapy calms you down...errr same theory as adult aromatherapy oils?
sunscreen = everyday is more popular but no fragrance is more for sensitive skin because it contains no fragrance
fyi, my sis says that the spritz is quite popular and she receives feedback from mummies that its quite effective.
she is OOS for the calming one but overtired & cold she still got stock
maybe can use to calm B? since u getting pek chek liao hoho (*j/k)

Steph/Kam, thanks! Not taking unpaid leave liao. Just wanna leave clean, without any commitment to the work. Cant imagine how high the mountain is if I were to take a few months unpaid leave and come back!!
So I can only leave 3 mths later because HR needs to source for replacement +/- 2 months. Then I got to train him/her for 1 month. So total 3 mths!
3 mths later, SAHM temporary while looking for new opportunity at my own pace.
ACTUALLY I TOT SHE WILL ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION TODAY AND I COUNT DOWN 1 MTH TO LAST DAY!

kam, elmo,
forgot to mention, just now lunch went with my colls to The Big Mattel Toy Moving Out Sale at Lok Yang Way. We were disappointed cos all four of us walk away empty-handed
This time the toy sales is located indoor area (non air-con abit stuffy) unlike previous yrs which was in the outdoor with canopy or portable shelter.
Toys featuring Fisher Price, Hot Wheels, Barbie, Matchbox and other international branded toys from $2 onwards BUT mostly very dusty, dirty, damaged boxes/packaging etc.
Participating products include:
- Collectibles
- Arts & Crafts
- Action Figures
- Educational Toys
- Infant Toys & Accessories
- Fisher Price Baby Gear Display Sets
- Casio Calculators
- Earphones/ Headphones
- Hand-held Electronics Games
- Sony Camera Accessories
- Electronic Keyboards
- LCD TVs
- Teaching Aids
You will mislead to think that there are alot of variety to choose from but mostly not really suitable for our tods, more for babies i guess. Some products/toys are not really cheap & the box already badly damaged (dented & torn) but they are still selling it for $50 or $70! They are oso selling display items like bouncers for $40 & all were so old & ultra dirty...i wonder who's willing to buy it home for their baby...erkkk. Not worth it to make a trip in my opinion. Spend your precious time doing some fun activity with your family instead! or go to Taka bb fair, at least the air there is so so much better & fresh! Gosh my nose still itch till now leh...all the dust!

steph,
Thanks for the update. Oh so bad ah. Cos I heard some Sep09 have got some good buys and some even went back again. But ya, they all said it's super dirty and dusty. That's why I am still thinking should I bring HR along or not. Ok, think I shouldn't go. Buy from kiddy palace better. They are also having 15% (non-members) and 20% (members) storewide sales.

Steph, I see, yup, for us it was a very long drive from Tampines to Lok Yang lor and it is our first time there. I thought hubby wouldn't allow me to buy the Learning Home too but surprisingly he didn't complain. He just said you want to buy then buy lor when I told him I think RaeAnne will enjoy it. Welcome, welcome please feel free to bring Z & R over. Here are pixs of the gals with our FP loot.

ksrytle,
Wah, so nice, couple seat somemore Last time we can hug hug and hold hands while watching movies, now each of us have to carry a kid when we go to cinema, so hold and hug our kids instead
pixie,
Thougth a lot of furniture shops everywhere. Sungai Kadut for wholeselling/factory outlet price? I don't know much cos we got ours from JB
Steph,
Thanks. Sure he will touch here touch there also. Have to remember to bring a bottle of water/wet tissue to clean his hands after that. Nowadays bringing him to KP is such a chore, he would glue to the toys, and refuse to leave. But somehow hubby is able to presuade him
I am actually looking for some play pretend kind of toys for HR. Those in M'sia very cheap, but I don't like the quality. See can get some good ones from FP or not.
The $150 set that Kitsune bought, what's the normal retail price huh? Do you know? Since you have been eyeing for it.
tongtong / Luca,
You wanna tag along to go to the Mattel toy sales on Wednesday?

I bought an electronic keyboard ($13.90 made in china) from KP for him last wk cos i saw him playing with it (display pc)...using his fingers to explore the differnt note that the keyboard can produce (the bigger version of the electronic keyboard which cost $49++ type) but too bulky for beginners like him so i bought a small one of different model that has got no display pc to try out the sound it produce. Went back home try it out...hiyo...the notes produced from the electronic keyboard was out of tune leh...volume were so loud (can be adjusted BUT once u off the keyboard & on again, the volume is set back to default mode...that's superb loud...i hate it (irritating) & i think it's pretty bad for our tod's hearing! Hmm...bad choice but luckily it's cheap!
Oh the FP learning home i think i saw fr somewhere the retail price was $199? So $150 consider "can buy" la...that's why i think n think n think till now...haha
hey LOL at krystle...my hb oso said same thing to me, "why sit so close to me?"...that was many many yrs ago in the cinema! Our last recent movie was Avatar. See..so ke lian
