hi just to share the bird park ticket is 20% off if paid by netts. Not sure promotion till when. Can call the bird park to confirm.
We enjoyed the bird park more than the zoo cos it's more colorful and easier to walk btw destinations (the bird smaller in size compared to the animals hehe...)

hello girlizz
Well basically, the montessori method is using mixed ages. In Anton's classes, there will be kids ranging from 3-5 and there are 12 kids in total. When they are doing or learning things, there will be split into 2 groups (6 in each group) and each group will have 3 teachers. The traditional montessori method has a very small ratio so they can know each child weaknesses and strengths. They are facilitators rather than teach. Yeah, they have a 2 year waiting list so if you have a younger child...you can put the kid in
Hello Mummies,
I was wondering if any of your kids have started to "lie" Like when Anton did something "wrong" like spill the fish food on the floor, and when I 'reprimanded' him. He said,"Its not me!" ( I was right beside him when he did it) then sometimes, when I expose him, he will say "I won't do it again." ( in a cheeky way)...
Is it a common thing?

triniti,
Zephan sometimes will deny things that he did/didn't do, like saying he washed his hands when he had not, or insist that his daddy's handphone is his (bcos we told him he cannot touch things that don't belong to him without asking). In such situations, we didn't even start reprimanding him but merely asked him a question.
I'm not sure whether it's deliberate lying. I think it stems from an intention to avoid reprimand. So we are trying to reinforce the concept of telling the truth, and try to "counsel" instead of "punishment" when he does.

hi,
Just bot my 18mth old for his last 5-in-1 jab. The dr gave me a certificate and told me that is needed for his pri school registration.
And I realise that the clinic which my gal went to for her last jab didn't give me this cert!
Does anyone without the vaccination cert too?
I wonder is it because she doesn't receive all her jabs at the same clinic that's why they didn't give her the cert?

hi
I think is to please us and at the same time avoid being scolded.
Often when she received something i asked her "have you said 'thank you'?". She'll tell me yes. I asked again telling her I won't scold her even if no, she'll tell me honestly no haha..
So now I don't ask her anymore, i just straight away remind her 'remember to say thank you to teacher when teacher give you something'.

i'd rather think on the positive side that they just want to give the answers that we'll like.
cakey, impt to have proof of vaccinations bcos u need to show proof (by way of health booklet usually) at pri sch registration. If previous records are missing, remember to get it fr the clinic.

But Anton said it like I have falsely accused him. Now, he would say things like I am not feeling well and then lie on me. When I told him, "Oh, since you are not feeling well, you don't need to go to school. You can stay at home and rest." Then he will say," No~! I want to go to school. I am fine now!" >.< dunno what he wants.
Yesterday, my helper told him," Anton, you are old enough to wash yourself." And he told her," I am not old. Auntie Ella(my second helper who is 56years of age) is old."
MY helper bursted out laughing. Luckily my second helper wasn't there to hear a 3 year old 'insulting' her. Really don't know to laugh or cry.

hi
long time never post.
re:diapers at night
dom is on diaper at night but he never pee in them. he will pee at around 8pm(when brush teeth) and diaper will dry for whole night until he wake up at 7am the next morn to pee. never wake him to pee, he just naturally dun pee in his diapers at night. dun know when will take him off diapers, scare of accidents.
he dun wear diaper when nap at cc, teachers are very consistent and train them at as early as possible.
dom pee on toilet floor cos he bit short to pee into toilet bowl.... so toilet sometimes bit stinky.
re: ntuc pull-up
it is quite soft and good, comparable to huggies pull-up. i am using for bry(#2) night and going out.
now sourcing for cheap diapers and pull-ups, cos work p/t but still have to "support" milk powders, snacks, clothes and maid!

hi ilmare
thanks.
which article of clothing can your child wear on his/her own now? Isaac recently started wearing his underwear and shorts on his own, but can't figure out how to remove & wear his top (usually T-shirt/ singlet). He doesn't know how to wear socks either.. only once a week wear socks to church.
thanks.

wendy,
Zephan can wear most of his clothes by himself, underwear, shorts, pants, t-shirt, n recently also could button his own shirt. Needs training. We let him wear his own school uniform every morning, and when he changes for the night. Sometimes t-shirt will be backward front, but we'll teach him to look out for signs like pockets, labels, designs etc. Haven't really let him wear socks yet, cos seldom wear them. perhaps can buy socks that are not too tight for practice? the white school socks shld be good.

It's been a long time since I posted here.... had a ds who was born in Sep 05.
I'm going to have my 2nd ds anytime soon EDD 9 Oct 08 but no sign yet... think baby is very comfy inside me...
Need some advice... those of you mummies who have a 2nd baby, did you experience any anxiety or change of temperament from your elder one nearer your EDD? I took one month ML earlier and during this period of time, my ds starts to be super super clingy to me... to the extent that he didn't even want to go to school and wants to stay at home with me... wants me to bathe him, feed him, pat pat him to sleep etc etc... tot my one month early ml can relax and prepare for 2nd baby... didn't know that it was going be very stressful especially in getting him to school...
Any thoughts on this?

hi girlizz, tingting,
My gal's health book has all her vaccination record. But there's no additional slip of paper given to me when she took her last 5in1 in 18mth. So I wonder is it a must to have that paper/certificate? It's a small A5 paper listing all her vaccinations and dates.
The clinic my 2nd one went to had given me that and told me that's impt. and ask me to request from my gal's clinic if they didn't give previously.

cakey, i also didn't get a slip of paper. Believe it's sufficient to have the individual jab records in the health book.
wendy,
hmm, let me recall the sequence. he'll pull his t-shirt up from the bottom, through the neckline to get his head out, then both his arms...

bry is 1 on 4oct... dom and bry birthdays are 3wks apart. so i very busied, cooked dinner for 6 adults and dom for the 2 birthdays.
must ask my big boss(hb) if can let dom off diaper.
dom can wear singlets, shorts, underwear, shoes. for t-shirt need to help him put over head. removal clothes, only singlets, shorts and underwear. i can't teach him to take off t-shirt. button shirts he can wear and take off but can't really button.

sng
yeah i get what u mean. but some of his t-shirts quite fitting la.. no chance for him to wriggle his arms into the sleeves. kekeke.
so instead of teaching him one way for singlets and another for t-shirts, we thought to be consistent and teach only the cross arm method. who knows his arms too short or his tummy too round. aiya it's so funny when he does it, then he'll complain "help me!"

dressing
Anton take off his shirt by taking both of his hands and pull the shirt off his head and wriggle the shirt out of his both hands. I think its easier that way for him. Taking out is easier than wearing for him.
Diapers
He still wears diapers at night cos in the morning, its not dry. I think he is slow when he comes to night wetting.
BTW, anton has wanting to clean his own bum after he does his big business, so far so good, he can do it quite well though he still ask me to wipe off the final time for him, just in case he miss any spots.

tinging, girlizz,
thanks for feedback. then i guess i can just based on the healthbook record, don't have to go back to clinic to ask for 'paper certificate'
dressing:
I'll need to help my gal to lift the edge of the shirt to her neck. then when lifting her left arm, her right arm will naturally came to pull off the shirt at left arm.
In this way it's sort of 'cross arm' but only after the shirt is already lifted till neckline.

Mummies, need some opinions.. I am planning to send #3 (18mths old) to childcare. But the current cc that my son is in does not have enough students to start a playgroup. They suggested putting her in N1. What do u think?
Pros : Maybe she will learn more with the older kids..
Cons : She will be the baby in class since she is the youngest and i wonder if she will end up having the "it's ok not to know" thinking permanently in her brain..

hmm, i'm not so concerned about the cons u mentioned, but rather if she'll lose interest in the lessons if they're beyond her comprehension. Though if she's been showing keen interest in what her brothers are doing at home, it may not be a concern. Also, will she be missing out certain foundation skills that are no longer taught in N1? It's a bit like jumping to pri 2 without going thru pri 1.
Hi Nicky, I would think the concern here is whether the teacher would be able to care for a younger tot while looking after her N1 class. Tots require more attention for obvious reasons physical development and emotional maturity thus the smaller group ratio as compare to N1 classes.
hi agree with girlizz. My primary concern would be the daily care of the kid rather than the learning aspect. For that I think compare to staying at home with maid/bbsitter, he'll definitely learn more. But when comes to physical care, maid/bbsitter (or good teacher-kid-ratio CC) might still be better than N1-class for young tot.
