chinling,
S is attending mandeville at united square. I have no experience with other schools so I cant compare but so far still good. He just proceeded to individual class in addition to group violin class.
I think for baby suzuki violin group under Ms Yap, there may still be vacancy as they recently contacted me abt my daughter's placement ...

<font color="0000ff">H1N1</font>
Nigel is down with high fever since yest. It has gone up & down like (as always) but since it's still such this evening, I brot him to see my BIL. There, we were told that he is seeing a spike in such (possible) cases of H1N1 so told us to avoid going to crowded places as far as possible.
Nigel has no flu symptoms but we did bring the whole family to attend an ex-collic daugther's 1YO bday at SICC. So regardless, we still have to monitor his fever spike.
<font color="119911">4YO</font>
Yes, they are very inquisitve, very talkative, temperament changes faster than a speeding bullet. I've also heard that on radio, it's probably very true. But my principle is enjoy, but don't indulge. Discipline, manners and respect cannot be compromised.
I punish & reward equally. Now that my new job is less demanding, I enjoy more time with the kids, which I'm extremely grateful. But seeing Valerie throw tantrums and be unreasonable, I'll still talk to her (I don't shout at her) and try to get her to see why she is wrong. Sometimes she seemed to u/stand. Many times she don't. I guess I just have to be patient.

Valmom,
Yes have to be careful cos they no longer list H1N1 cases here.. Tactic change and it is more like a firefighting strategy now than a containment thing. When it just broke out, Thyler had a high fever of 40deg too, with other flu symptoms.. Thereafter the whole familylike 10 of us were down. But that was during the Mexico outbreak, before anything was in Singapore.. . So when we brought him and my brother to the GP, they were saying it is unlikely to be anything serious.. BOth were ok after a week plus of antibiotics.
But, if Nigel has no fu symptoms, and being still a young baby, very possibly viral fever which actually builds his immunity.
Whatever the cause, mummies surely need to take care when babies get afflicted with fever.. Take care!
Job
After long discussions with Boss, seems that there is no way to decrease my workload.. the way I see it, drop 1 hat pick up 2-3 others.. not worth..So I will be SAHM-ing a few months and see how..

<font color="0077aa">Thanks to all. Iden is only barely on the normal scale though he looked chubby with his chubby cheeks. Gor gor is super undersized (both weight and height) but as long as he is healthy and well, we don't complain that much nowadays.'
Iden nowadays like to crawl under table (although he can walk already) and bark like a dog and imitiate his little doggie soft toy.</font>

wen - crystal oso got 200 degree for astig..should be inborn too..haven chk my boi yet though..haiz...but the lady say no need to wear glasses yet...i oso very xian
crystal,
good to hear... so you need to extract your teeth or? I also feel very scared. I have a spot on my gum that I always have nagging pain and 1.5 year back when I visit the dentist, she said its gum disease caused by my wisdom tooth. So if it recur back after she rectify, I need to extract wisdom tooth... I dun dare to go back for that cos its been recurring
But I think its inevitable I prob need to go back to her soon... I had gotten a Braun electric toothbrush to brush plus those oxyjet oral irrigator, hopefully it slow down the deterioration of my teeth. I dun floss as I am scared and dunno how, so I am thinking of getting those waterpik irrigator leh...
I started my kids off electric toothbrush.. to alter with the use of manual. S is still ok but J dun let me brush her teeth thorougly ... hope the electric toothbrush can do a better job.
tigger,
ya dunno why he is so big. Biggest among the three.

Poohy,
Extract wisdom teeth not scary de.. I was terrified after hearing all the horror stories before i did mine 4 in 1 go. All 4 under gums so it is considered surgery and not extraction which means stitches.
Last time breastfeed Thavis so I even did not touch the pain killers cos scared it pass into milk. Only very er xin cos of all the blood but pain is very manageable. get it fixed the faster the better and no need to look back le..
Astig
hubby and me both have astig and myopia.. I think if over 150 deg astig is considered high liao.. need to wear 24/7. I got 125 deg astig i need to wear my specs all the time liao.. and my boy astig 550 a lot of places do not make that high deg.. Most places i ask they only make 450deg max for astig.. so bo bian i make at tan tock seng clinic which also guarantee the lenses degree.
Crystal mum,
Better faster act and bring to specialist for 2nd opinion. Cos if she cannot see clearly, then her visionin terms of the optic nerve to the brain will not be stimulated properly. Meaning later even if you give her the strongest power for her eyes, she will not be able to 'see' clearly as her brain never had that input before and cannot process the sharper image sent from the eyes.. Now Thyler may have that problem already cos now he already 4+.. SO the best we can do now is let him see with his full power and hopefully the sharp image can be processed in the brain.
Meow,
Last time after lasik I can see 3rd line, the doctor say my deg is about 50deg.. So should be still ok..

Just few months ago, I went to extract 4 wisdom teeth at one go. Reason being one is decayed, due to I can't reach it while brushing. I also went only when I totally cannot eat due to the decay. Whenever I tried to bite something, this sharp pain just shot through my whole body. It was horrible. I initially wanted to extract one only. But end up have to take out 4 after taking X-ray, cos doc told me, one other teeth is starting to decay internally. Another teeth is growing in a sleeping beauty position and waiting to get decayed, as a layer of skin is covering it. Food gets stuck in that layer of skin easily. But overall, the experience is ok, as next day I can eat buffet already.
So much so for those who claimed that extracting wisdom teeth can slim down. Haiz.....
<font color="119911">Poohy</font>
Josh is a big big boy. You fed him well. Wow, you started your kids with electric toothbrush already! I got problem with the brushing my 2 boys are trained. They always brush during shower. However, the night brushing occurs when they take shower at 9pm. After that, they will take lots of junk... and go straight to bed. Haiz..... How not to get decay teeth like Joeson has now? I'm so vexed over this issue.
<font color="119911">Buddy</font>
I suspect Joeson to have Astig too. As his daddy has too. How to accurately tell that he has Astig. As sometimes, at night, he'll tell me he can't see wordings that clearly. I am still wondering is it due to lighting or inheridity?
<font color="119911">Dewdrops</font>
Your kiddos really looks like twins! One bigger and one smaller sized twins. Hehehe.....

So seldom see you posting recently? You busy ah?
<font color="ff6000">Just got a little Shih Tzu doggy. Adopted it from a friend. Now my 2 boys are happily playing with it. Heeeee</font>

Iden is heavier than Xavier at the same age but his birth weight is also heavier. Xavier was like only 6-7kg by 1 year old. Iden is like 8.5 kg but still 1 kg short to triple his birth weight.
Wen/Crystalmum,
How did you find out that your kids need glasses? How to test what is the degree of astig with kids? Theyknow how to tell the pictures clear or not?</font>

Have to dilate eyes. So the nurse will drop very stinging eyedrops into their eyes every 5 mins apart.. I also drop before when i went for lasik.. Pain siah.. Like put medicated drops in eyes and have uncontrollable urge to rub eyes.. So before the thing i pre-empt Thyler so he will know. So luckily when they drops his eyes he knows it will hurt and still allows the nurse to do it..
They will do a machine reading and also the one where you have to look and see with those dorky optician's glasses..

wen,
I brought Sam for a eye checkup at 3+year but they said no need to put eye drop if he can already read and respond. so his eye checkup was like that of an adult... just read off the wall... and then they did shot to check the symmetry and something else of the eye... I also thought they need eye drop at first...
