Yuru/TBL,
saw that u gals join in the BP for desitin cream. How much is the total costs including shipping compared to the retail price here.
I read that the expiry date is at least 6 months. Is this norm or are they clearing old stocks ?

at BJG, they only run here and there for about 15 minutes. The rest of the 1 hour programs will comprise songs, flashcards, training of photographic memory and some hands on activities to train their motor skills, etc.

yuru, elmobbger,
got wkend class huh? ok, i will call them to find out more. last time brought natalie to tumble tots trial class, but found not very suitable for nat. it requires all babies to sit together for ~30mins! But nat run ard the class after 5mins, i so tired chasing her n worry will disturb other bbs too.

Desitin: 2 types.
-most pharmacy like guardian sells the 'white' tube. cheaper.
-can only get the blue tube(creamy,with aloe) at hospital pharmacy.
-get the blue one, dun bother getting the white tube.
-white tube sticks like paste, difficult to remove.
-blue one highly effective and so 'moisturising'.
this is the one i use when rae was a bb
hope my memory serves me well.

she looks so sweet with clips n with hair TIED up. (sigh.. when will rae have enough hair for a ponytail??)
<font color="ff0000">seagal</font>
what did i feed rae?? Just look at HER parents.. its in the genes..its her destiny to be bah bah.

<font color="ff0000">yuru</font>

I think our kids can eat (most) "adult" food.
<font color="ff0000">yuru</font>,
soft cheese not cheese meh?? i also dont know.
I love Petit Miam fromage frais, use to buy and binge on them but i find it too sweet for rae. so i buy, i eat but lest you guys say i horrible marmee, rae gets to lick the underside of the cover ok!
<font color="ff0000">LL</font>,
Her royal highness, potato princess, still throws magnificent tantrums daily but she doesn't hit (yet??).
just last nite, she was turning around in circles, stomping her feet, fist clenched, arms flying and crying. (machiam like dog chasing its own tail, farni to watch initially)
could steffi be imitating someone? or she has watched older kids do it?
surprisingly, i find reasoning with potato works most of the times though her memory is short lived (and i sincerely hope that this 'able to reason' is not a passing phase)
<font color="ff0000">elmobbger,</font>
paiseh.. will email you soon.
Kindermusik is fun for bbs n tods. (for parents too! good workout)
i think we have several graduands of KM here.
Ger seems to be enjoy her new school! now you have more excuse to shop so she has pretty clothes to wear for every single lesson

BOLIAO SHARING: DARKNESS, LIGHT, PLAY
I have never wanted Potato to be afraid of darkness and to date, she is not.
Recently, she will demand that we go and sit in a dim corner and watch a movie (she has a toy that projects images on walls) I am getting bored of her daily demands of "mummy i want watch movie please thank you" (punctuation doesnt exist for her)
Today, her daddy brought home a small torchlight and I thought we will have some fun with it.
this was what we did for more than half an hour:
-close bedroom door, switch off all lights, sit on bed
-get the kid to get use to the darkness by talking about it and reassuring her that mummy is still next to her.
-intro concepts of light n dark, on and off (can use game of hide n seek / 'where is bb' to do this)
-switch on torchlight and shine on wall, ceiling.
-place small objects with distinct shapes infront of torchlight so that the shadow can be projected on wall.
(distinct shapes so easily recognisable for kids)
-can ask the kid to identify/name the silhouette
-short story-telling, i use various animals and cars shadows to tell a short story.
-concept of big n small (by varying the distance between an object n the torchlight. i use our hands/fingers to do it)
-shadow finger play. I am not good with this as i can only form 'rabbit ears' and 'crawling caterpillar' with my fingers.
-I also let her hand cast a shadow on the wall n my shadow hand will 'eat' or tickle her shadow hand etc
- play catch the light.
- play "I spy" ( i will switch off the torchlite, point at an object, switch it on ask her to name it.. we started with parts of body. we did it really really fast so it was very fun.
-count my shadow fingers.
-let her hold the torchlight, to do disco dancing lights on walls, ceiling. can sing a song about it.
-let her hold the torchlite and placed it on the mattress, and to see the circle of light enlarging as she hold the torch further from the mattress. she was real fascinated by this
-hid the torch under my n her tee and switch it on so the light is cast differently.
-use torch to search for hidden objects.
-use the color slides to for more colorful play.
-shine at individual letter on her alphabet chart(upper+lowercase) and asked her to name the letter and pronounce its phonetic sound. likewise for her number chart. make it quick,like a game! She loves it
whatever it is, hype it up, make it fun!
the possibilities are endless

Lac...u bery the good lei...so many good ideas...
LOL....I like this phrase "machiam like dog chasing its own tail, farni to watch initially". I'm not sure abt her imitating anyone, guess will hv to check it out. At times, itz REALLY FRUSTRATING...hit her, heart feel so pain, don't hit her, she will think itz ok....REASONING WITH HER!!!! Tell u wat happened 2 nights ago. She hit me, I slap her hand...she ran into the wardrobe, peeping every now & then...me loon...had wanted to go over & hug her...then finally she gave up & came to me, then I talk to her...GUESS WAT....she cried lagi LOUD & SCREAM INTO MY EARS, almost deaf!!!

LL,
maybe she watched her older cousins 'play rough' and thought its ok to hit?
There are few times initially, when rae hits her older cousin. I have to remind myself that i cant impose corporal punishment on her as that will be a 'double standard'. if she cant hit, so cant i (EXCEPT when she touches dangerous things persistently despite warnings).
what i do was just to hold her shoulders firmly, stay at her eye level, lock eyes with her(very important to me) and speak to her in a very firm tone and explain to her its not right to hit people as it hurts. then get her to apologise and give 'big hug'. so far so good.
but hor, easier said than done........ i have to really really REN and remind myself, and not even to shout at her.. very difficult esp with my ill-tempered gal. notice i have more white hair?
(ps: but i can picture steffi peeping at u from the wardrobe.. must be so cute!! you must be trying so hard not to laugh, rite?)
sometimes, when the going gets tough, i will take a deep breath, take a step back (machiam like out of body experience), marvel at my lil creation and her individuality (tantrums, tears n everything) and see things from her perspective.
this usually calms me down alot and thats why i can even laugh at her energy-sapping, mind-boggling, folicle-bleaching behaviour at times.
but , dun ask me when is #2 coming hor...

It's cute ur gal says thank-you BEFORE u grant the request, like, pre-empting u, haha.

fully agreed with you, my daily interaction with natalie also minimal. so no point compare her with super-kids like rae & Athena.
nat sleeps at 8:30pm, so really not much interaction fm mon~friday. now with #2 even worse. just realised i didnt read story book for her for the past 2 days. haiz... guilty guilty...
