Because of my 6 yrs old son, I have personally spending times exploring 3G Abacus & Traditional Abacus.
After completing the 3G ABACUS instructor course, I have applied the methods to teach my son. It is very simple & easy to understand. As such, he has shown more interest in mathematics than before.
I am planning to let him take part in the INTERNATIONAL Grading Exam this coming DEC 09. If possible, I will let him take part in year 2009 competition.
Currently, I am teaching kids & parents the 3G Abacus.
If you are interested in 3G ABACUS, please email me.

i must learn how to survive from mums-with-2-kids. What's more, u've to juggle work n bf, really not easy. My mum will not be helping out daily next yr, she may pop into help once a week only. Now i'm stressed out training my boy to self-feed during mealtimes so that i can better cope in future when mei2 comes out.

So want another one? kekekeke....
Jerrell has just started walking 3 wks ago at 15.5mths. I am busier now and my hb ask me not to prepare our dinner anymore and watch closely on him. Anyway, I am also very tired esp after work when my body has not recovered and then I am back to look after the 2 kids. Even though, I am still missing them so much when I am away.

Any updates on your kids development? What they are able to do at their age?

bbrooster,
NOPE, 2 is enough for me. kekekee..
Although this Ashley keeps asking me to give her a Mei Mei .. kekeke..
Jerrell starts walking liao meaning u will be so much busier.. he calls u yet? My sis's boy starts to call Por Por & Mama (ah ma) but never calls my sis. ERrr..Wat happen to your body?? I'm quite guilty here. I hardly miss my lil boy, too bz at work liao.
Not sure abt wat can a 4 YO do leh. I only know my gal is so channel 8 that i simply cant stand. I'm trying to tune her back to English channel. She is into writing her chinese names nowadays & folding papers into fans. & she is trying to do "spilt". Are these term as developments???hahaahha.

My 'body' is usually very tired after a long trip and the lack of sleep. Last time I don't have kids I usually sleep 24hrs to get back all the energy.
It's normal to miss #2 lesser. Furthermore, you see them everyday. No guilt.
Jerrell has been calling me and his grandma 'ma-ma' in canto. When I tell him to call me ma-mee....he goes ma-ma, ma-ma.... So I don't consider him calling me yet.
Oh Ash can write Chinese name now. I have not taught Jo to write her chinese name yet. Oh no....her chinese names strokes are pretty difficult.
Jo is learning phonics word blending from her speech and drama class. I think I have to take up lessons for that too cos whenever I teach her to do her homework I can't blend it very well too. Not sure whether she understood what I am saying.

bbrooster,
no, she can't write properly yet. Just copy from our strokes & still learning.
I duno much abt Phonics. die liao, i dun have keeness to learn.
Yes same here, my nephew also calls his grandma as "Ma Ma", also cantonese. Then tat day at Coffeeshop I was carrying my nephew while my sis went to buy food, he called "Ma Ma". I told her, but same like u, she said tat 1 not counted. Hmm..

re: Child's Development
Improve alot in his Chinese language. He is more happy to speak and write in Chinese. Able to tell/share with me wat happen in school.
Most interesting part is whenever he disagree with me, he will talk back and answer me till left and right! **FAINT**

hehe today I wake up at 6am+ to pump milk, nvr go bk to sleep liao. Hope I wont be blur when I send Ashley to ballet later. keke.
Glayz,
Think Ashley same like Sky, not v interested to blend together leh. Err I also duno how to blend. I'm too tired nowadays liao, so I just let it be. Hope next year she kai qiao will noe how to blend herself bah.
Aiyo why both so much alike hah? Ash is also v enthu in Chinese & she does't speak much english to us anymore at home. Getting worried, so now I have to remind her to speak English with us. I told her if u speak Mandarin to me, I won't answer u back. HAHA. Really too much Mandarin in her school. Haiz..
Audrey,
Enya is so cute sitting inside. U manage to get a 2nd hand? I also put Julien inside when I was alone with him. Need to do stuffs.
Sad to say my #1 used to be Mummy's gal somehow has become Daddy's gal.
She doesn't want to sleep with me anymore. Her logic is that she has grown up already. & she will sleep with Daddy & Didi is small so sleep with me. I feel very sad. As for the time spent together, I'm still able to spend some bonding time with her together cos i need to fetch her first from her CC. Then together we go bk to my mum's plc to pick Julien. I'll still need to bathe & eat dinner together with her. I also drive her to Ballet during Sat. When go shopping, I'll hold her hand while Daddy pushes the pram. So I think still ok so far. She never complain I never spend time with her.

audrey, I think its normal with a baby to spend less time with the older ones? I am walking through that stage right now, and keep telling myself that I'll make it up to them later on when the baby grows older.
twinklets, my #2 has become very sticky to my hb and even more sticky to my MIL since #3 arrived. Maybe she feels the lack of attention since the baby arrived. I feel sad too, but I can't really do much now, as my time is occupied with the baby.

mich,
Ya my gal also very sticky with her Daddy during my confinement month, which makes me real sad too. After Confinement, things do improve abit, but somehow feel things are different already. Tat time I really feel I lose the bond with her, every moment tat time was Julien & Julien.. Now things are definitely better after getting back to work. But somehow, r/s aint the same anymore cos i feel like i'm no longer her #1 anymore..

twinklets, I think the dynamics in the family, and the mummy's r/s with the kids will change with every addition in the family. The same situation also happened when I gave birth to #2, didn't feel close to #1 for a while. But when both of them started to grow up together, my #1 and I became closer once again.
So things will certainly improve when Julien grows older
I'm hanging in there believing that when Isaac is older, things will be overall better as in I'll be able to develop a r/s with each of the kids as I'll have more time.
May I ask how often u pump at work? I am wondering what kind of pumping schedule I should maintain when I start work when he is 16 weeks old.

I have a pooh bear floormat and a bumper mat. For safety, the bumper mat is thicker, heavier and cushion better. But it can only be folded and cannot be rolled if you don't want to use it. I have use it for 1.5yrs and still very good and durable. I put it at my MIL house.
The pooh bear floormat we have been using for 4.5yrs now. Thinner material but can be rolled up if you need to mop the floor. I find the bumper playmat is better.
<font color="0000ff">Mich, twinklets, audrey</font>
As Jerrell gets older I am able to balance myself better. Jerrell don't need as much attention as he was when he was a newborn. I begin to build back that bond with Joelle.
Now that he is walking and both of them can play together I find that I am actually playing with both. So things really gets better when they are older.

boh bian so stick with 2.
Now I have to tong till my #2 grow up then I can have both of them play together with me.

Thanks for the feedback on bumper playmat.
I tot of investing on a 2nd hand one, managed to get $150 for 2100x1400x18, been keeping for almost 2 years but only use for 6months. Will be seeing her this coming sunday, hopefully the condition not as bad as I think off
and pray hard to turn up as a good deal

Mich,
This Saturday gog out with Ashley for bonding time, just 2 of us only.
my pumping schedule is 530am, 12pm & between 830pm to 9pm during weekdays. My interval is between 6 to 9 hrs...
Bbrooster,
I do hope that when Julien grows bigger, my r/s with Ashley will be liked last time again. Things do improve now though after getting bk to work.
Audrey,
Do u get ur hb to bathe/feed Enya during wkends? Get him to do all these so U can bathe Wayne & bond with him during those hrs. That is what I do during my maternity leave.

twinklets, that is great! When my #2 was young, I used leave the baby at home and take #1 out on my own quite often. Say to visit friends or buy groceries. I really enjoyed that.
Do you latch on when you are at home?
Audrey, when the 2 are older, it is quite fun. My 2 girls are really good playmates now. and its super cute to see the kind of conversations they have
when i see this, it makes me feel like all the hard times are worth it.

twinklets,

so he die die want daddy, unless daddy call, tell him that he will be late.

Mich,
I have to wait for another 18months

u going bk on 16th week right? Ya 3 pumps definitely better than 4. before i went bk to work, i was like pumping 6x per day, feel like whole day is simply pumping,feeding & seeing Julien all hrs.
Ya he was crying mad when bottle fed. Yesterday he only took 20ml during the 6pm+ feed. His previous feed was 3pm+. He can tong till 10pm then drink 150ml of milk.. also never drink finish.. He is just so... not interested in milk when he's awake..
btw i just send a request in FB to u. I saw Isaac foto, he is so handsome & adorable!

twinklets, thnks for the compliment! yup, confirmed you as a friend on FB already. I think its normal for babies that age to show no interest in milk at all. My #2 did the same thing around then, and it was very frustrating! I ended up stretching the time between feeds to 4 hourly and still she wasn't hungry. She could drink very little and still sleep normally at nite (sleeping thru for about 7 hours then)... hmm...
Six times is very tiring indeed. I found that even 4 times was very tiring. I'll try 3 times when I go back to work.
Yes, taking 16 weeks. Did you take all 16 weeks too?
Jasmine, I wanna try do it for 6 months if possible. I stopped at 8 months for my #2.
