lach,
1) sleeps himself
2) on bottle still. i think goat milk should smell if consume by cup. anyway, its soothing to sleep too.
3) nanny feeds him but he will have a small portion himself to self feed. when outside, choose food that he will feed himself, eg omelette and fries. easy way out
carnellin,

Hi Lach

2) on bottle?
-> yes. if he is drinking formula milk.
3) need to be fed for lunch and dinner?
-> not at all unless we are rushing for time and we force the food into his mouth.

Lach,
1) need to be 'pat' to sleep?
No need, but need company, need to chit chat and sing songs, need lots of hugs and kisses before he is willing to doze off by himself
2) on bottle?
Yup! In fact I think it is good cos he drinks more and faster and no mess!
3) need to be fed for lunch and dinner?
Yup! I am fine with that vs major cleaning up of whole house since he walks around during meals carrying his plate!

lach:
1) Yes, dean still needs to be patted to bed. Only managed to succeed ONCE two days ago ... i sang the same song over and over for almost 10-15mins before he dozed off. History does not want to repeat itself.
2) Yes, Little Emperor Dean says milk = bottle. Like KC, i also dun mind the bottle cos its mess-free and easy. No concerns abt the teeth at the moment.
3) Yes, Royal Highness asks to be fed esp when hungry. Makes huge mess self-feeding, but he CAN do it.
Depending on the food, he can eat relatively fast & finish the food too. Eg last sat we gave him wanton noodles + 1 cup yogurt - finished all in 10mins with occasional spoon-feeding from daddy.

cody,mngo
sing 'lullaby'? i gave up long ago.
I think it freak her out.
I rem when I tried to sing to my baby nephew few years ago, he immediately woke up, Eyes big big and stare at me real hard, in shock. the greatest insult!
Dean finish wanton noodles and yoghurt! all by himself! wah.... thats great! so he is now willing to try "chewables"?
its of "consolation'' to me that R frens are still on bottle and need mummy n daddy to feed
thanks ladies.
I am less concern of the mess.. its the duration that frustrates me.
chopsticks: the training ones she has, never use for proper dining cos she dunno how. now only for her masak masak play to poke things.
Cody,
MPH 20% off.
I chanced upon it but most kiddy bks are wrapped.
(maybe i too use to kino n borders)
but all R wanted to buy was a bucket of chalk,which she already has!
Had to convince her for long time to put in back.
Anyone has read thousand splendid sun? Me waiting for the small pb.

CODY,
THANKS for the photos.
Dean is so brave and sensible!
cody, joann
is it tiring for your boys to open their mouth for a long time?
Ju so cute!
cody,
the place looks lovely.. NICE.
did dean wear his sand shoes?
the hat is a great idea.
arm floats/floating device
anybrand to rec? or anything to look for when I purchase one?
I bot one cheapo cutesy armfloat for R, but it seems too small and appears more of a burden than an aid. now use for pretend swimming at home.
Floats. got a cheapo one for her. fits her waist BUT doesn't maintain buoyancy.
Is it R too...HEAVY? *gasp*
or can I blame the cheapo float, lousy.

lach,
now i get the $3.90 floaties when i went to sentosa rasa, works well. before that, i was using the high end speedo one, more than $10 but also "lao hong" after sometime.
in fact my mil and hubby are sick of asking what i want as a gift, i have everything, i think. so when i told my friend about my good prob, she says your mil is french of cos buy LV. my gf is carrying a $2K+ LV as a diaper bag. so when my hubby ask again, i told her LV diaper bag. dont know whether he acts blur or not, he taught it will prob cost $200 but i told him thats the px of a key chain, he nearly fainted. then we work out, $2K over 4yrs marriage is $500/yr quite ok. then again how can ask mil to buy LV ? so i thought a cheap one is better, "put long string catch big fish" ha ha
so far i have my eye on allerhand messenger bag but it seems that i cant order online. any idea how to get them?
mngo,
calling mngo, any good rec for diaper bag.

joann:
allerhand is available at robinsons. if you go down this weekend, its an extra 20+10% off.
yeah there are tonnes of diaper bags from branded boutiques but i notice the likes of LV and Gucci doesn't sell them here.
Off tangent abit, i find allerhand bags a tad too heavy. Just the bag alone is 1kg plus.
I "invested" in a le Sportsac for just $17 at bencoolen street lastnight. Partially water proof and super light weight! PERRRRRFECT !!!
Lach:
Re the dentist ... no, not tiring. In fact for adults and kids is the same ... open mouth at ease, no need to use muscles so not tiring at all.
LL / Lach:
the beach wasn't all that nice lah ... cos the undercurrents are stronger in monsoon season, hence stirring up the sand making the water cloudy.
LL, sexy momma? dun have lah ... your eyes crossed is it? U didn't notice how i resized that pic to that tiny proportion??? So that even with perfect eyesight, one can't see how FAT i am!!
Re Hats
Dean loves his caps!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE. he can wear his baseball cap all day at home, even when he sleeps!
he's very fixated ...once he likes something (usually from home eg cap, car key, camera etc) he will hold on to it the whole day. even when he's asleep, he will sometimes wake up in the middle of his sleep groping for it. If he can't find it, he will scream.
Eg last couple of days he was fixated to my old car key, kept holding onto it. at 3.45am, he must have had a dream that he didn't have his key to start his bike, and insisted that i go look for it ! *(#$@)_%(*^*)@&#&)_ now macam zombie. Double *(#$)#$^)(* cos by the time i hunted for the car key to no avail and went back to bed, dean had fallen asleep again! #()_$*&(#(*&@)*^$&&*(#$#+%R

MPH Sale
Lach, the MPH in town wrap their books.
The outlet at Robinsons road doesnt, so its great for browsing before i buy.
Come come !! Esp on weekends, this outlet is a ghost town. (in fact, robinson road outlet has storewide 20% discount regularly on almost every sat to attract some shoppers!)
In case you're really heading this way, they just replenished their shelves with new stock of kiddie books!

FLOATATION DEVICE
I am a BIG fan of ZOGGS.
Quality counts when it comes to floatation devices, cos its your child's life you're talking about here.
I tried those cheapo ones before, bleah .... LOUSY. So Lachesiz, its not the price but the brand. Its not Rae's weight either!
Its got to do with the design of the air chamber.
"Lao Hong" is mainly because of the valve, so if that's faulty ... just bring it back for a one-for-one exchange.
Another tip: BUY THE CORRECT SIZE.
Devices that are too big or too small will endanger your kids' life more than saving them.
The best way to test if its the right size, is to inflate and strap it onto your kid, and completely let go of your kid in the pool.
Make sure the pool is deep enough so that your kid's feet can't touch the ground, and that you're within easy reach to rescue the kid if anything happens.
If you child floats, good!
But there's still one more factor ... the higher the head is above water, the better.
See whether your child is straining his neck to keep his head above water, or whether its a natural head-up position.
The general rule of thumb is that the shoulder bone and above ie the head should be floating NATURALLY at an upright position.
Some floatation devices could cause the child's head to face down towards the ground, but because of his kicks, he could actually stay afloat.
This is dangerous because in an accident, children dun have the stamina to keep kicking their arms and legs / straining to keep their heads upright for a long time.
The sentosa toddler drowning incident was a classic case, just 4 mins!!!
come to think of it, ZOGGS isn't all that expensive. Speedo costs more!
U can get ZOGGS at this shop called Ocean Paradise, located at Paragon and Tanglin Mall.
But they are HUGELY popular, the smaller sizes are often sold out.
Sorry i'm long winded, just want to share and make sure my forum buddies children are protected the right way!

Actually, LV is nice. But which design are you look at for LV? i realised that the bag can be really heavy. I've seen many people carrying a Gucci as Diaper bag. Coach has too, and coach is not too heavy.
Else... get a Hermes! heeee.
I got a Loewe, thinking that it's to put declan's stuffs in there. But then i ended up bring to office. cos it is too sayang to put declan's items.

re floatation device, no choice ... got to buy first and test in water. if it doesnt' fit, go back to buy the correct size.
yah i know alot of $$ involved, but what to do...
agree with your hubby that all kids must learn to float.
i never gave dean those rings with the seats (no offence to carnellin & other mommies...).
we started off with ZERO floats.
once he was somewhat confident, we gave arm bands.
He's still on arm bands now, but only semi-inflated.
he got moods, sometimes he will attempt to swim without the arm bands, sometimes he insists on wearing them even at home!
If u buy ZOGGS, just buy according to rae's weight.
it's indicated on the packaging.
as to WHICH floatation device to buy, i advocate arm bands or back floats for starters.
arm bands are ard $10 each, back float is $25.

Diaper Bay,
Skip Hop is very popular here. I cant afford it even thought I like it very much also. Thats one bad thing about being SAHM
http://www.amazon.com/Skip-Hop-142008-Dash-Canvas-Red/dp/B000F1MNAE/ref=sr_1_16/103-7620017-5896664?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1184298827&sr=8-16
Flotation Device,
I fan of Zoggs too because their device got state the weight and age that it is used for. So have to buy the correct one. I am using the Stearns one for my older boy
http://www.amazon.com/Stearns%C2%AE-Childs-Boating-Life-Jacket/dp/B000ML02FK/ref=sr_1_15/103-7620017-5896664?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1184298751&sr=1-15
Potty Training,
This time was the 3rd time I tried potty training. My 1st was went he was 2. Now can successfully go potty everytime for urine but still poo in his underwear. last week when I started, he could not hold his bladder long enough to uring in potty but this week he could. so maybe next week he can go to potty in time for poo.
Now he does not ask for his $1 a day for using the potty but I promise him a LEGO Percy set using his potty money to pay for it.
We borrowed a Potty Training DVD for kids from the library and he liked watching it. Its call "Its Time to Go"

Cody...tks for info on the float. Me oso got a cheapo one but find it rather "NOT TOO SAFE" - dare not leave Stef alone for too long, seems like cannot take the weight. Where did u get from? I'm going Orchard later 4meeting later so can divert & get one...

Rochelle!
The Stearns life jacket u have is V V V Good !!!
I tried in vain to buy one such life jacket in S'pore to no avail.
The strap that goes between the legs is what the professionals advice!
I hunted almost the whole of Singapore for such a jacket before my boat trips from Krabi.
Sigh ... wish i was in the states!
they have everything!

mngo, dean uses the arm bands only.
my nephew, who used to be v v v scared of water, uses the back float.
the problem with the back float, is that when the child goes out of the water, the float will sometimes slip from mid-chest level (the correct position) to the waist.
Tightening the strap in an option, but it may be TOO tight for comfort.
