(2004/12) Year 2004 December Mummies

yuru
regarding potty training, you are right. the cc will train. thats why i dun bother to train at all. haha i am so damn lazy
 


yuru,
i thot it was all right for them to be trained in the cc too until Cody mentioned that the teacher will make all kids pee into the same potty (at one of the cc she visited) before she empties it. Eeekkksss!

Then again, maybe not all cc are like that but i remain skeptical.
 
TBL,
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
natalie is so sweet.
gets upset when her precious didi is crying.
shes so sensitive n sensible. already a good jiejie in the making.

cant wait to see their pic
 
pottytrain:
any mums have successfully (or partially)trained their darlings?
pls share. thanks

personally, feel its better to pt our kid before enrolling in a cc. cos the teacher might not be as attentive n kancheong as us..hehe.. the teacher has to attend to many other kids other than our own 'centre of universe'..:p
to me, it can be a traumatic transistion for a child to go to a cc, let alone adding the additional 'trauma' n stress of learning to be potty-trained. just my 2cents worth..
 
yuru
i wonder what if the child poo in diaper and then the teacher dunno abt it.... dunno how often will the teacher chk the poo
 
lach,
seems that we are the over-protective parents here haha.

btw, i had a quite good haul at paragon last evening. was disappointed that they do not have the shape sorter though. =(

bought a doll house living room set for $3.75 only. shermyn was busy decorating her own living room last night, haha.

and i don't seem to have any luck finding the Crayola Finger Paints. Can't find it in both ELC and Toys R Us. *sigh*
 
yuru,
wah.. one week!!
i know my gal will take longer than that.
u know me .. kia si..


seagal,
show me show me show me....
what you buy? tell tell tell.
finger paint? how abt bettertoystore? or naturecraft?
 
lach,
Where is The Better Toy Store and Naturecraft ?

what else I buy ? a mini bubble blower, a mini twist and turn toy, a Soft Stuff set, a pencil/crayon sharpener, a table top magnetic board set and a lacing wooden toys set. Pocket got big hole already. Oppss...
 
Seagal,

Wow! You bought all those from 1 shop - ELC??? How come I went in so many times I don't seem to see those ah!
happy.gif
 
Yuru, u have got mail!

toys? toys? I have got alot of toys to keep ahhhh, help no more space in the store...
maybe I should sell it...
sad.gif


I feel like shopping liao hehehheheeee

Chloe's status:
- same amount of hair, totally hopeless
*smack forehead*
- still on a carbohydrate diet, now reduce to noodles only, not even rice....*shake head*
- Need to run through the whole routine of Bath, TV, books and millk.... even if we return home very late.
She will remind us if we miss 1....
*roll tired eyes*
- her singing have improved, can remember all the ..... last ONE word of the sentence. and blurb the rest.... *one thing to be happy abt, ha!*
 
KC,
The last 2 items I bought from Toys R Us. kekeke. ELC has the lacing wooden toys set too - shapes and alphas designs but I find the one at Toys R Us nicer with more items to teach.

Daffy,
wow ... chloe can sing very well, like Jean. =)
the girls can sing a duet next time.
 
Seagal,
The Better Toy Store can be found at Tanglin Mall. The bigger one is at Taka (one floor above Kino)

I bought a walker for Shannon from ELC. I know she is a little too old for that but cannot resist lah. Wanted to get before but it was selling at $110 !!! Now less than $50.
Anyway Shannon quite happy pushing it around....hehe
 
hi yu, all the best for your delivery!
your baby very co-operative, wait for papa to come back before popping!

mummies:
sorry, been really up to my eyeball with work.
want to drown already, esp when i caught flu virus from dean. arghhh ...

flu virus v potent, hubby and i both caught it after caring for him over the weekend!

Am glad that i bought the OSIM ear thermometer.
Its cheaper, and works faster than the braun!
max 2 seconds to give u a reading.
just hold on to baby's head firmly, press and presto! the reading is out!

the OSIM fever band ... no use on dean, he yanks it out! doesn't want anything on his head, not even a damp towel.
 
oh yah, one more comment:

i think its the CHILD CARE centres that will help you to potty train your kids, esp those where your todds attend daily.

if its playgroup in a KINDERGARTEN, they will NOT help to potty train cos the teacher-student ratio there is higher. most kindergartens require that your child is fully toilet trained before they accept your enrollment.

another thing to note abt childcare / kindergarten toilet hygiene:
if they have kiddy toilet bowls etc, need to make sure that they flush / pour water into the urinal after each kid pees.
another friend said the kindy that her daughter attended - teacher flushed only after many many kids had peed into it. yikes!

can't imagine *myself* peeing into a urinal full of others' pee, much less asking my child to do so (esp if its a girl!)

maybe i am the paranoid one when it comes to toilet hygiene lah... bear with me!

Seagal
haha, yaya, maybe now it's time to gather them and sing like a choir!

Seagal, Yuru
Am wondering if u wanna take over my Sunday slot for the part time auntie? Cause I have gotten myself a maid! Thanks to KC!
But it's only once every 2 weeks, cause the other weekend she will be doing for my mother in Jurong. My mum thinks once in 2 weeks is enough for her, tht's why I'm sharing with her.
If u don mind sharing, having the part-time auntie coming only once in 2 weeks, do PM me. Thanks!!

How ah? What to do with the new maid ah? Give her a schedule? Any tips and tricks from u guys?
 
Yu,
u gave birth alr??
happy.gif


Yuru,
PT cleaner: my hubby was against it initially. but after tried for few wks he now agrees that PT cleaner really help a lot and he can have more time to rest.
happy.gif


haiz.... natalie is sick since friday night. fever, cough + running nose! this is the first time she got cough + running nose lei. PD kept reminding me not to let nat go near didi or enter didi's room. I must wash my hands and change clothes b4 carry didi. I was so worry that i didnt carry didi at all for the past 2 days when nat is at home. luckily got CL, else dunno wat to do. Only manage to carry him this morning since nat is at nanny's place now.
poor natalie too, she got a bit confuse how come mummy dont let her go into didi room nor get close to didi. can see she is quite upset abt it, make me so guilty... haiz....
sad.gif
 
Yuru,
My PT auntie only comes once in 2 weeks, she help me with bigger things, not the daily work. Like cleaning the 2 toilets and wiping all the windows and doors. Tell yr hubby he can spent more time cultivating cindy mah :p
Anyway, yr hubby is quite a hardworking hubby, good lah
happy.gif
 
mummies mummies.. all yr ELC posting tempted me to pop in and see.. but ma chiam not much sale-ing leh.. kekeke.. mostly so expensive leh...

elmo elmo.. what walker u buy? i have seen one that is tempting leh.. but exp leh.. hahaha.. i know how u cant resist.. i was earlier tempted to buy a vtech walker on sale for ger too when she is now already running around.... but i REN-REN-REN... till now no more tempted liao. hahaha...
 
yuru,
yap, it's her 1st cough/running nose since birth. so i quite worry and not sure wat to do esp with a new born a home now.
did try to explain to her why she cant go near didi, she looks like 'half-know-half-dunno' lei. but since yesterday she will stand outside didi's room to wave n say hi every morning b4 she goes nanny's place and wave/say bye at night b4 she goes to sleep. really heartwarming
happy.gif

happy.gif
 
Yu,
Congrats! Take good care and rest well.
Do pop by to "visit" us when you are free.

Daffy,

TBL,
Hope Nat recovers soon. She's such a charming jie jie isn't she ?

Cody,
Thanks for collecting the books once again and sorry shermyn was not at her best behaviour yesterday. this girl ... very touchy and temperamental over the weekend. she puked in the car shortly after. I'm at my wits end how to tame her.

hope u and hubby recovers soon. seems like the flu virus is getting round again. take good care.

Bz now, will try to post more later. see ya!
 
seagal,

happy.gif



elmo,
is it the blue one with removable 'basket' and comes with a toy bear? hehe.. its now use to 'transport' my 3.5yr old niece n nephew when they come over to play..

toys:
potato finally into pretend play so got her a bb stroller n doll accessories..
so cute to see her push the doll around in the stroller, feed it, pat it, cuddle it,
bath n put lotion on it and even seat the doll on the dolls potty. (she also insist the doll to be by her side when she herself is on the potty)
her doll even has her own teddy bear..hehe
she named her doll 'mic mic' n her doll's bear 'ten dollar' . sumtimes she, doll n bear share the same name.
(pls dun ask me why)
she will even carry a bag while pushing her doll's stroller or hang a bag on the stroller handle to store things.
she will bring her doll for a ride in her 'car' and even tell and act out to the doll what she sees.. very hilarous...

tat day at a Ikea, she insisted on hugging two teddy bears and walked around the store with them.
she even gave them different names. and make them cuddle n kiss n talk to each other!
and they have to be seated on her left and right when she was at the restaurant highchair.
i was not allowed to remove them from her sides.

I know most tods have been role-playing for a long time already.
but me just so happy tat potato finally learns pretend play and learn to show 'compassion' to her doll.
 
elmobbger,
'REN'?? that word not in your dictionary la..
should be 'BUY'
hehe


TBL,
hows nat's nasty bug? her first? WOW.. she is a very healthy n strong toddler! kudos to you!
she will def recover in no time.

YU,
CONGRATULATIONS..
wah.. the way you mention abt your delivery so casual, like a stroll in the park... i have to read a few times to confirm ..hehe
you are really STRONG n YOUNG mother.
when you have time, share more abt your bb n elicia.


duffy,
i remember chloe is very musically talented!
agree wif seagal, jean n chloe can sing at our next gathering.
chole will remind you if you miss one step of the routine? wow.shes so smart. can be your little 'secretary' liao..hehe
frustration at work? breathe in n out.. n leave it at the gate before you step home.
happy.gif
 
seagal,
you at wits end on how to 'tame' shermyn?
*push you aside*... i tot only I can say tat i am at wits end on how to tame potato..
the kick n roll routine is NOW considered MILD next to her latest throw/scream/spasm routine.
sad.gif



yuru,
you are one lucky woman.........
happy.gif
 
JEN,
HB n I are in awe of jean's swimming ability.
wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
mouth still agap.
shes a real mermaid!

Hi ladies,
Sorry for MIA again.

Yuru,

happy.gif

I think your English much better than me.my English and Chinese acknowledges all rtn back to sch liao! :p

Mngo,
Ya lor! life with 2 kids can be very wonderful, but also can make me cry sometimessince they always give me lots of joys and *headaches*! Finally I decided to start a blog, so that they can view when older too.

I cant remember the name of the vaccine liao cos oredi threw away. Why? Declan not feeling well?
 
TBL,
Aiyo, hope Natalie & Nathan are feeling better soon. Take care!

If your computer is Window XP, u can just change the encoding fr EN to CH and type the word in huan yu pin yin will do. I dont know need to download any Chinese software or not? Mine very simple, when I need to type Chinese, just change the right bottom of my pc, ok liao. Maybe Mngo/yuru can help.
 
eve
no lah.. declan is fine. just tat before go childcare, better vaccine against tat deadly bug , respiratory virus as will caues death.
 
TBL
Evelyn is right, u just nid to install the language and configure it. but first, u must how how to install, what to configure
 
seagal:
no worries, dean misbehaves too! all kids must test their parents'patience from time to time...
happy.gif


so erm, u managed to rid the car of the puke & its smell? i am one who FEARS puke cos i will also merlion together!


FLU BUG
mommies, ther is a potent flu bug going around.
Dean got it first, then passed it to me over the weekend.
Both of us had fever almost 40degrees, sore throat and runny nose. Aw it was terrible!
Hopefully you / your kids won't be affected!


Jen:
how was the pool party? tell me all about it to make me envious!! :p
 
Hi Mummies,

Yes.... im still around, the little one still dun wan to come out leh, most probably will be an overdue bb again just like nat. Next mon is my EDD, will be seeing my gynae, hope she wun ask me to induce.

Yu,

Xanthia look like Elicia...
 
Yuru,

Ya, i ve the same thinking as u.... 'eat watever i want' b4 i pop.... but u know this had make me put on 1kg last wk in a wk time, scary rite *faint*. Now bo bian must control....
 
Congratulations to Yu!!!!
Sorry I slow in response haha, the brain not working. Take care and rest well!

Lach
Chloe's just normal smart, yr potato I thinkis superman smart... Role play can do so well! Chloe don't really roleplay at all leh, the most she kiss the bear and make the bear kiss her that's all! Think the most "played" toy for her is me and hubby lah, One snap of finger both of us guai guai sit beside her :p

Lach, I don have blog leh...
You mean my flickr photo stream is it? :/

Evelyn
I'm always envious to people who can turn thoughts into words well.
I'm not one of them... but all of these mummies' blogs really inspire me to try!

New Maid
She's indo, quite young, early 20s. So far so good, also maybe because me and hubby don have really high expectation, so most importantly is how my MIL like her.
Chloe like her!!! Just Yesterday her first day in our house, Chloe pull her hand to play with her and don want me to carry for the first time!!! *cry*
Oh well, just have to learn to let go, my Number 1 status potentially dangerous.... *sigh*
