hi mummies,

2 quik questions.

for toddlers who are still sleeping in cots, do u still use bumpers?

are there alot of hairs on the sheets after a long nite sleep?

thks!

 

[joyfulhands]

first_mum,
you're back from your trip oredi? ;-) was it enjoyable? oh yes, I would like to know abt your experiences.. PM me or sms me if you've time, ok?

Re: bumper in cot - Cathleen is no longer sleeping in cot. I don't see alot of hairs on the mattress she sleeps on.

Re: childcare / playgroup
Had registered Cathleen for a neighbourhood playgroup commencing next Jan. Hope she can adapt well.

jenny,
It's always so loving to see the elder sibling hugging the younger one, just like korkor Aidan & didi Ryan.

Happygal,
Congrats! Can sense your happiness in having both a boy & girl

 

[ultra_mao]

mujmuj, jeslyn, krissie, jf - yes it's a joy to see the 2 boys, kor-kor is learning to share his toys now and didi just usually observes.

here's another photo taken yesterday.

 

[happygal29]

jenny,

Cute photos.....aiyo...the didi really soooo cute.....good size...keep it up.... =)

 

[cleo]

jenny
your didi looks so big liao.. time passes so fast... great idea to let him sit in the bumbo on the beach.

2005
ger still slps in cot. no more bumper. erh.. i nvr notice on the hair. haha..

 

[muju]

mommies, any of your kids starting school next year?
I actually enrolled my girl for June intake but who knows they enrol her for Jan intake cos she toilet trained already. I feel so sad coz I won't see her for 3 hours a day...:-( anyway I think she will have fun in school. anyone feeling the same?

 

[joyfulhands]

Mujmuj,
Yes, Cathleen will be starting 2-hr playgroup next Jan too. She's not fully toilet-trained yet.

For me, I wonder how she'll cope esp for the 1st few days when left unaccompanied by us. She's a pretty shy girl, you see..

Since I'm a ftwm, I don't feel sad for not seeing her while she's at playgroup. In fact I only get to see her for 1+hrs every weekday, so I'm kinda used to it oredi..

Re: toilet trained
Mummies, what is meant by fully toilet trained huh? izit can control bladder & hold urine throughout the nite? ie without need to wear diapers at nite?

 

[meixue]

Happygal, congrats on your #2! take good care.

Jenny, so sweet to see your 2 kids together.

2005, yes, I notice a lot of fallen hairs on her pillow every morning. Was wondering if it's normal or she experiencing hair loss..haha.

Mujmuj, I signed her up for playgroup next year. I take it as a short break for me to do my own things or catch up on chores. The playgroup is only for 1.5 hours, so I probably feel less sad than you are, but I'll miss her running around, the house will feel strangely quiet without her around for 1.5 hours. Maybe as SAHM, we're more sticky to our girls. We probably stick to our girls more than they stick to us, hehe.

our girls are going to have fun in playgroup. She's already talking to me about it everyday, yakking away about teacher sing song, korkor jiejie, go school, learn ABC, blah blah.. haha.

 

[patpin]

My boy'll be going to 3 hours playgroup next year. I'm feeling a bit stressed for him cos donno how he'll do (will he cry a lot, can he tell teacher wat he wants etc.) on his own. Think once he get used to this new routine, I'll be quite happy cos got some time on my own.

 

[clhw30]
