Hi jpooh!
Seems like R benefitted alot from an older brother. I shall seek consolation in that... you see, I hardly have time/energy to teach K. In fact I told her teacher at the PTC that I usually exclude her from any learning activities I do with B. Sad huh... but I can't manage two together... I don't have this kind of classroom management/discipline for young children at two different ages/stages. Now I can only hope that whatever I invest in B will rub off onto K... wishful thinking on my part, again.

Hi Joanne,
I dont even teach my gal, just let her do worksheets to recognise the alphabets and numbers. At 3 yr old now, she can only manage common shapes and colors. At 2 plus, my boy is able to recite A - Z cos i sing to him the alphabet song everyday infront of the wall chart hahaha. Really lazy stay at home mother here. Staying at home to only pursuing my own hobbies and interests.
Wish u all well before the trip comes. Hiaz, everyone gog for holiday.

Hi K's mom,
A pity i sleep pretty early these few days, else i can chat with u. Do buzz me in msn ([email protected]) if u sign on at nite (SG time i mean).
"Daddy wake up" .. same here, my kids will be shouting "mummy wake up" when i read books with them.
Shopping with 2 rascals turn brats haha, sounds so much like wat i face everytime when i set foot inside malls. Plus, i definitely hv to stop by at the toys department for the kids. Don't worry, i monitor them when they play with the toys. hehe.
My dh also into Heros, and he entice me to join him. I gave him a firm NO. I don't think i can handle anymore other then HK dramas .. already a few queueing up for my attention. haha
BTW, my dh taught me a way to d/l the online streamings. We use the browser call "firefox", and a plug in (that only works with this browswer) to download the shows. It works for crunchyroll and shows from www.tudou.com. This 2nd website here stores more show then crunchy cos according to dh, this site is from china and they are not bound by copyright law, so no law lor hahahahhahaa. Just sharing, dun report me to the authorities please.

Hi Ky,
Yup, we are going again. Told B that we were buying tickets for the DHL balloon and he asked if we could go on the Duck Tour again. Guess it will be another experience as a family
Is DHL Balloon closing down? Hmm, maybe that's why they are offering such a promotion.
Mommies, any other year end promotions to attractions for sharing?

hi serenade,
she had hives when she was really young, like 9mth?
then she had it now n then but always go away after calamine or baking soda.
yes,someone told me baking soda and water. it helped. but not this time...
yes, he was a specialist. there were 2 docs at the clinic. told recept 1st time. she told me oh... this doc at least 100, the other a bit cheaper lor. see which one who prefer.
but the cheaper one was an empty room...
hi moshi

Hi Catherine,
Paranoid? Its mommy's nature.
I will be too! H has eczema since young, and I tried all sorts of methods to soothe the itch. And yes, baking soda loses its effect after some time. How about using honey suckle (jin yin hua) to wash her?
I would suggest doing a patch test since its not her first time, at least you can determine cause.

Hi WorryMum,
How about going to school with him and observe? My niece didnt want to go to sch for a while becoz she hasnt got friends to play...Sometimes you just cant take the teachers' words for it. Or it could be a growing phase...
Hey, H has been skipping sch too...take it easy. She just skipped sch last fri, and we went to the library, haha. This is the only time they can afford to do so before formal education

hi serenade,
hmmm...the ducktour/balloon/hippo rides sound tempting indeed. do you know if it is also applicable for weekends?
btw, i've signed C up for berries at orchard. and yes, gave them your hp no as referral. think you can get $20 off next year's fees, nominal but hey why not right
hi star,
was it you i saw at berries last sat? why were you in the classroom? didnt see you when the session ended though....
hi worry mom,
something must have happened in school, the teacher might not have notice it. and at 4 yrs old, sometimes it is difficult for them to articulate. try coaxing him to find out the reason. got to be patient

Hi worrymum, maybe your don't feel like going to work rubs off on him don't feel like going to school! heheee....he can feel it!
seriously, just have to be patient with him but firm about it at the same time. There could be a reason or just a passing phase. Try talking and asking him about his friends, day in school, etc to find some hints.

Hi Chloe,
Don't think there's any restrictions on the promotion. In fact, the tickets will expire only next year (can't remember when). We were given a schedule of the tours' timings. No need to complete all the tours in one day
We took a look at Berries@Orchard and liked it too. B wanted to join the class immediately. But we chose the one at BB b'cos it's nearer. Will let you know when I get the voucher from them

Hi Worry_mum,
Agree with the rest to do a thorough self-investigation. If there's really nothing bothering your B at school, then try offering him choices - going to school or stay at home and do more worksheets (no computer allowed until you come home). I'm sure B will be made a smart choice

Hi Worrymum,
I can feel the anger with you.
You know, mine ever since moved to inlaw place, the school is jus 10mins walk or 5mins drive, he will take his own sweet time to drink milk then change school uniform. Those dilly dally attitude. NObody care nobody reminded him to change school uniform and I must be the one showing him the cane to get him changed. Everyday I need to "boil" on this small mummy's job.

Apricot,
Thanks.. really can feel for u too. Didnt expect ur A is another one. hehe. Really dont know what to do with my B. haiz. At least cane work on him.. My B totally win for all battle between mummy and daddy, Cos we are rushing for work too, latest by 7.50am we have to leave home, abt 10mins travelling time to his school in CCK. We simply dont have time to "entertain" him, though try to put him sleep early at night, he just complaint his eyes cant close. So in the end almost 10.30pm to 11pm is his sleeping time. Perhaps he really have not enough sleep, but he took 3hrs noon nap wor..

Hi Worry-mum!
It always irks me when the kids are sick and are taken off school for a couple of days. Firstly, their routine, thus my daily routine is gravely affected. Secondly, I have this immense stress/fear that they don't want to go back to school once they are well and about again.
I try not to make things easier for them staying at home... try things as boring as possible like, You're sick right? So you've gotta be resting in bed. That's one thing both my kids hate. Sleeping. Then it comes to eating, Sick right? Must eat well to be healthy again!
Haha... these two things are the main focus when they have to stay at home. And I make it so huge that they wanna go back to school to be with FUN again.
Then again, children do go through phases. Maybe this is an unfortunate phase of I wanna stay at home and not go to school...
Try explaining that everyone's got a place/job to do every day. e.g. Daddy and Mommy work and B goes to school. Or like what the rest of the mommies suggest, investigate the matter. What's happening in school?
But you shouldn't do it too often or spend the whole day there. Coz the worst is you get him out of the house but he wants you to go to school with him everyday. I know that coz I pulled that trick on my mom too when I was in P1. I wanted her to come to visit me in school every day! But the good news is I outgrew it!
The computer games definitely sound more alluring than school at the moment, I guess.

Recently someone mentioned about peer pressure here... since we're all in the school topic now, i've got something to share.
B has been displaying anxiety attacks whenever it gets dark or when it's time for him to go to bed. I was suspicious as this started like about 2 weeks before Halloween. So I started checking with other moms if their kids had problems sleeping too.
I thought there might have been some private conversations going on among the boys in the class and they were scaring themselves silly. True enough, the teachers have noticed mentions of aliens and eerie movies of like lately. So much so that now the teachers said, no more discussions on movies in class anymore.
Now our night routine is damaged... Record has it that B wakes up 8 times a night! Worse than having a newborn coz this one doesn't want to go back to sleep.
I think it will take a long long time to clear the misconception and the fright the kids got before life goes back to normal. Thing is, we don't even know the real conversations going on... how to screen and protect our children from damage done by other naive kids???
These boys really have huge imagination, e.g. the fenced up area in front of the school building is now known as the crocodile house (like a moat surrounding a castle). They take their adventures there everyday after school... and then next they imagine they are knights fighting imaginary dragons!!???
I think homeschooling kids isn't too bad an idea after all!!!!

You gotta be watching Heroes if you like things like X-men and the superhero friends! Really love sci-fi series... Hee, did I even mention before that when I first saw Matrix (like almost 10 years back now... 1999??), Anyway, i dreamt of being trapped in a big computer too... haha!!! Lame right???

Hi moshi2!
Got your letter: Cute card, meow! B was so happy! And he loves the stickers too. Thanks!
And your package for Kristin also arrived on Sat. See, I told you about someone hijacking it for Halloween, right?
I think B will be begging to start writing another letter soon. Now, you've got us challenged to make interesting cards too... But I'm certainly nowhere near the creative designs like yourself. So you've gotta bear with what a boy and a non-craft mommy can come up with.
Oh... did I mention that K went school happily, even without her brother? She felt like a big girl and waved bye to us that morning when she had to go with Dad without big bro. She felt like a big girl, I guess!

Hi Catherine!
Yep, agree that the consultation is really ex.
Don't know any good PD in Mt A. But apricot and I love Dr Veronica Toh from Raffles Hospital. She's really nice!
Consult is about 45-60 SGD. And trust me, she won't throw the guilt back at your face. Oh come on, how could that Dr do that? It's bad enough that we can't help our suffering children, how dare he pointed finger at you??? And if we had really known the cause of the problem, would we still be seeking him out for a consult in the first place???

Moshi, you have tons of outdoor ideas for the sch hols huh? I'm keen on the mushroom farm too and may revisit the animal resort cos JC has been asking to see rabbits.
Changi airport T3, JK just went with his sch last Thur. He came back with very exaggerated descriptions with gestures some more, abt a huge plane (A380?) being parked at one side while other smaller planes are parked at other corners. Also abt a sky train taking you to T6, T10 etc.

JK had his concert last Fri. Although I was not impressed with his sch's curriculum and several money-spinning impositions, I was thoroughly impressed with the way they organised the concert this time. The whole night was run so well and the concert was really enjoyable. Unlike his previous cc where the kids from different levels performed their individual segments, JK's kindergarten held a sort of musical this time centering on theme of the 10 commandments. All the kids were reorganised into groups in regardless of levels and sessions. The costumes were also well-coordinated. And surprisingly JK performed this time despite the huge audience of abt 800 in front of them, not just stood frozen on the stage like last time. Now I regret not ordering the DVD.
Hi Worry mum,
I am so so busy busy work and miss the maternity days where I am more active in forum. I felt so uneasy not dropping some words here. Therefore the moment I saw your post, I geared up my courage to "publish" abt A. Your topic hit it right on me..ke ke ke...
Hi Catherine,
Try Dr Veronica Toh at Raffles Hosp. She is really very good. 1st time consultation is around S$60. Cannot rem exactly so call check the children clinic before you go down.

Serenade, so envious of you that B seems to love learning a lot and takes well to all the classes you have brought him to. I had initially thought that limiting JK to only non-academic enrichment programmes would make him interested but even the gym class we started him on became a kind of drag for him and we had to convince him to go each time. And since he liked the electone I had abandoned at my mum's place when I gave up learning halfway, I thought some music lessons would be a joy for him. Instead, he told me he only like the electone but didn't like going for classes. How to start him on phonics lessons like that?
Hi apricot. Check your email.
On the topic of PD, actually why do you gals continue to visit PD and for how much longer do you intend to do that? I switched my kids to our family doctor as soon as they finished all their vaccinations. Even then, our PD acknowledged that it's not as if they had any magical finer needles for the jabs compared to GPs. Now I don't have to travel all the way to Bishan for every small ailments and save ourselves a good sum of money too. In fact, I was thinking to myself what I would have done that night when JK had the wound that needed stitching. His PD in Bishan would have closed by the time we arrived and he would not have felt as at ease if we had to see another DR nearby whom he was not familiar with. I was so glad I have helped the kids build up a relationship with our family doctor and it proved useful on this occasion.

Hi Meilan!
I do agree that we should get our children acquainted with our family asap.
But I also bring them to PD in Sg when there are bigger problems, like stomach flu or wheezing cough for a prolonged period of time.
Simple reason: drug prescriptions. Some GPs do not have specific drugs suitable for very young kids at hand.
Having said that, in Germany, a GP will not attend to a child. Children go to PD only. The last I brought B to a GP here, she sent him away without any prescription and told me that I should get in touch with my PD if the symptoms of a stomach flu didn't go away.
And since we got here, we've been self-medicating when it's just small problems.
