wow you still sterilize bottle/straw huh? I stopped since Kaiser is 1yo. At first I also nv really bother abt the straw - just run under tap water - until my mom & sis said must use something to go through it then will be clean.
I agree with cup feeding. Actually they can hold cup & drink by now. And also use spoon to feed themselves.

I also bought the straw brush for MAG MAG to clean the straw bottle
I find that MAG MAG leaks if brennan takes the bottle too lopsided. I bought him a new one, also from Pigeon but the more colourful one. Felt that thats better and brennan drinks more from that one (maybe cos bottle more colourful
)
I've also not sterilised the bottles. Only use hot water to rinse through the bottle and teat when making milk for brennan.
Try not to accompany kaiser for too many days. gradually reduce the no. of hours there so that your disappearance wont be too sudden for him
Last time when we sent brennan to infantcare when he is about 15months old, we stayed 2 hrs for the first day and 1/2hr second day and we left him alone there. we went back to take a peek or call the teacher to ensure all are well
and of course,the teacher called us to report his wellbeing too.

sneaky: baby's coming pretty soon
is the english playclub better than the bilingual one?
RE: sterilising..
i'm also still sterilising zoe's bottles as well.. think don't really need as well but since i have a steriliser so figured just sterilise lor.. as for her water bottle, i just rinse with hot water and clean with the straw brush .. but she uses the same kind of utensils as us now and that's washed the usual way..at zoe's cc, they sterilize bottles all the way up til 3yr old..

try to let him mingle with the kids there and just be there as observer. And the time you spend there should reduce each day so that he can get used to you not being there.
Brennan was from the infantside when he went to cc.So we didnt spend any time with him at the cc side. cos before he was promoted to cc, the teachers already brought him out in the afternoon to the playgroup side every afternoon for a month prior to the actual joining to the playgroup. Thats what they practice there. Which I believe is beneficial to the kid cos at infantside, the things they are exposed to are more "bb" in nature. So its a gradual process to move from infant to playgroup by doing so.

hihi SSL & Fun
I'm just back from Kaiser's playgroup session, his 3rd day for school (it's 1/3/5 per week). I am so proud of him, he's on his own today. I used to think he may have a slightly harder time to settle in cos he's quite a shy boy, so I already took 5 half days AL (including next week) so that I can make sure he is doing fine.
Fun
I think from now until Aug, you can try to take Alden to the school/CC more often to let him see the place/enviornment/teachers/students, tell him that he will soon be attending school there like the rest there. Let him be more familiar with the school, rather than only bring him there on the 1st day. Actually that's what I did for Kaiser, we went there a few times (short visits) just to let him see the school.
And I agree with SSL, reduce the time spent in class with him gradually.

NO need to stay from 7 to 7 la. Think the teacher would probably chase you away
And your presence may be stressing some kids who has stranger anxiety.
I wont encourage you interfere when Alden becomes "itchy handed". let the teachers handle him so that he is used to their teachings. Thats why i say dont stay there for too long cos he knows that you are there and may either cling to you or purposely be naughty and see if you interupt
(which we tend to most of the time)
Yippee,
Am proud of Kaiser. Normally for kids who doesnt go playgroup or childcare since young, they would love the "freedom" they get when they are there. Cos they will have their "free time" during the day where they can do whatever they like, can be reading a book, playing toys, etc.

<font face="Book Antiqua"> Think Janelle enjoyed her JG trial on Sat. She was abit bored during the Chinese lesson, guess is prob bcuz she dun really understand what the teacher is teaching.
I can tell she's getting confused with Chinese & English. When u tell her "Wo Ai NI" in chinese, she will point to her KNEE (Ni = Knee) ... I dunno how to explain to her the difference leh. When I tell her Ni is you in Chinese, she will shake her head, say NO NO & point to her Knee

sneaky: hope sam gets better soon
jenifur: think zoe's experience was the opposite of janelle's.. she really enjoyed the mandarin lesson.. participating.. considering she's exposed to v little mandarin.. as for the english one, it wan't great cos firstly she was scared of the young caucasian male teacher when he tried to come up to talk to her while she was happily eating her snack.. also she hated music time cos they had this male malay teacher who was playing guitar v v loudly and she always fusses when there's loud music so she was crying the whole time during music time and refused to go for outdoor play there after.. sigh.. will see how she is the next session.. think she's not used to men in general and all the more cos they were caucasian and malay which isn't familiar to her..

<font face="Book Antiqua"><font color="0000ff">Fushiastar,
Janelle's English Teacher was Ms. Sheila & this was the same teacher who had taught her @ Zoophonics. She was not afraid to go up to Sheila & participate but it was the opp when for the Chinese Class. Mayb bcuz Chinese was the 1st lesson & she's not warmed up yet. Plus 2pm - 4pm is actually her nap time.
1 thing I dun lyk about JG is e stuido seem kinda small.</font></font>

jenifur, i didn't catch the teacher's name.. she was chinese, young, long haired with an accent.. yah i agree that the studio does seem smallish..
oh, yah, if it's janelle's naptime, that may be why she didn't respond so well to the mandarin class
but i really thought the madarin programe was excellent! zoe knows nothing in mandarin, after 1 lesson, she can point to her nose and eyes if i say that in mandarin.. also the chinese teacher could engage her interest during song time and drama time.. just feel that they were both good with children, spoke good mandarin and able to get the kids to participate.. can't say the same for the english ones though..

morraine: really?! what were you both wearing? zoe and i were the only ones without socks i think..
<font face="Book Antiqua"> <font color="aa00aa">Fushia/Morr,
Janelle wasn't v keen on e craft which was a surprise as she's usually v enthu @ home.
She will also point to her eyes when I said it in Chinese. I'm pretty impressed as I've been trying to teach her tt @ home but no success.
Janelle is in Studio 4. I've enquired if they hv slots for either earlier or later class. If have then I should be signing Janelle up.</font></font>
