Hi Tracie,

I was at ECP just now too. Very crowded.

Sounds like a close shave for Megan! Maybe Megan will learn a lesson from today.

Once my Megan ran off to look at some toys. I knew and choose to stand one corner and watch her carefully. Took her 5 mins to get away from the toys and look for me. Really panic when she can't find me. I walk out when she start crying. Now she is more aware and tend to hold my hand when we are out.
 
Tracie,
Wow..such a dangerous act. I think they will just forget after awhile. You need to keep reminding her of that incident so that she will not do it again.

Mummies,
Jamie is testing my patience after the arrival of Jazmyn. Got very fedup with her and had caned her a few times. She simply dun allow me to have 1-to-1 session with Jazmyn. She will try all her means to distract me. Everything that she need to do like bathing, cleaning her poo poo, eating, all got to done by me. She will sit there and cry if any other members of the family want to help out. Really drained out with sleepless night with #2 and handling the monster #1. I had turned into a fierce mummy with screaming and caning of #1. Dunno where my patience had gone. So tired of everything.

I think all these had caused my milk supply to dip as well. From 200ml per session, it dropped to 150ml or sometimes bearly 100ml. Feel like giving up soon. Really peifu mummies that are still nursing and latching on their kids. *pat on your back*
 
Hi gals!

cookie
Devan is 3 mths+ now. can go to my blog is see him =) http://verymerachel.blogspot.com/

am doing good, got the hang to jaga everything le. thanks for asking =)

CL
normally people like you i always say they run on generator one. people like me run on battery hahaha

mamachan
NO #3 for me. although hb still pin on some hope for another one and best if its a girl =p on and off will say, he has 2 boys, 2 boys liao la. always make sure i hear what he is saying.

so you and hb shall fulfill daren's wish on 2 didis and 1 meimei!! 4 lovely kids to complete a happy family =)
 
SY,
Same! Meg also burst into tears when daddy tells her no! Sudden change.

Yuki,
We tested Meg couple of times by hiding when she wander off herself while shopping. The scary thing is she won't cry or panic. She will walk around looking up to see if its mummy or daddy or shout 'mummy' 'daddy'. She will keep walking and walking and in the end its us who got scared and go after her.

May,
Hang in there. Alot of us here also faced #1 giving a hard time when #2 just arrived. They will keep crying over the slightest thing and make us lose our patience. It's a phase they will go through and we have to go through too.
 
May
like what tracy said, most of us went through this difficult phase with #1 turn into a monster after didi or meimei arrived. me too, did cane and scold dylan during that period. but i came to know that with the scolding and caning, they dont listen or the least tame with their behavious. will only add on to the tension. i was filled with guilt and with the leak of sleep, everything just add up and can easily turn into a constantly very upset mother. Jamie is very sticky to you at the 1st place so she only want you and no one else.

you might want to get other family member to help you handle Jazmyn beside having to latch her. jamie is home the whole day since she yet start any playgroup right? so her focus and attention is all on you. can ask someone to bring her out more often? and maybe get jamie involve when you are breastfeeding jazmyn like get you a glass of water/tissue/etc. or reading to jamie while you bf. dylan will help me lift up my top when i happen to want to bf devan when he is around =p

hang on on bfing, dont stress yourself with the amount. give whatever you have and you will feel better. jia you!
 
Hi Mommies

Have not login for a long long while...have been so busy at work and Mel is getting very bossy, will close my laptop everytime I open it and by the time she's asleep I'm totally zonked out.

Queen
You have delivered...Congrats!
 
Went to HK Disney last weekend, Mel enjoyed it much better than last year, willing to try most of the rides

Here's a pic to share

Rachel,
Devan has got the same eyes as Dylan. Handsome boy =)

Tracie,
Jamie is also like Meg, just walk around shouting out for daddy or mummy when we secretly hide in a corner. I am waiting for her to cry but it doesn't work. End up we have stranger that goes up to her and ask her what happened. We faster come out from hiding.

How long will this phase be? So tiring.

Flo,
Mel looks so happy posing with Daisy. She is not scared of walking characters? Jamie will simply ask us to carry her if she sees these character walking around shopping centre.
 
tracie

that's so dangerous! Your gal really has no fear of danger. Same like my boy. That's why we've to hold him tight all the time, esp when we're near roads/carparks.

may
hang in there! hopefully jamie will get over it soon.
 
Hi mummies,

Well, I am still nursing cos she refuses to give it up. The funny thing is that when I am not around, she doesn't feel the need to nurse but once she sees me, she would want to nurse. Actually really have no idea to stop the nursing.

Flo,
Wow... mel's really brave... funny that charmaine's the other way round? She has no qualms going on any of the rides but is scared of the characters?

SY,
Hope your trip went well.. are you still with the old place? Let me know how's the condition like in BJ? Cos if we go Bj, can redeem totally the mileage that's expiring... otherwise might have to lugi some...

Tracie,
that's really quite a close shave.... sigh... sometimes daddies can be really obvious....Thank god that megan's alright.

Re: bossy kids
Mine's really bossy too!
 
Flo,
Been a long time! Mel's looking more and more like you!

May,
From what I can remember, Meg was back to 'normal' when i return to work after 3months.
 
Mashy,
U know la....kids at this age, see teacher do something.... all go kaypo here n there. Am sure E din really go "check" C's eyes. Glad to know that C is better already. Now is my E's turn to fall sick. We came back from Phuket on Mon midnite & Tues we let him rest at home. Come Wed, sent him back to sch & just two days of school n now down with bad cough & flu. Sigh. All the virus going around n the lousy weather here makes everything worse.
sad.gif


Tracie,
Wat a close shave! I will sure freaked out. Thank God the driver is alert.

Florence,
Nice to see u back here. Mel is getting prettier. Looks more & more like mummy.
 
May,
Try to spend more time with J alone if u can. They may be feeling insecure cos now she sees u with mei mei. Yes, its a phase thing. When mei mei gets older n more interactive, things will get better cos J will see mei mei as her playmate.

Rachel,
D so cute, can help u lift up ur blouse. My E tat time will want to suckle up my other breast. But I told him no no...cos he no longer is a baby.
 
May
you hang in there, the phase will pass. dylan's was about 2months.

wenyl
mine is the opposite =p i asked him whether he want to suckle and he replied saying no no, he is already 3 years old, not a baby anymore.
 
Tabbie,
Glad to hear that you have settled in. Have a great time with the kids in US

Tracie
Just saw the post on Meg's close shave. I think must be really firm when it comes to safety. Mel is now "drill" to hold hand when we are in the carkpark...she will say "carpark hold hand"..haha

May
I guess J is probably feeling insecure...even for Mel she was feeling insecure and naughty when my nephew first arrived. She's much better now but occasionally will still be jealous of him

SL
Maybe you should start to consider weaning C. Clare told me she once saw a girl wearing primary sch uniform walking into Centrepoint nursing room with her mom!

May/SL
I guess different kids are afraid of different things. Mel is not afraid of characters since young. In fact she was so disappointed that Minnie and Donald were not there...haha

Tracie/Wenyl
Haha, my hb will beg to differ...everytime someone commented Mel looks like me, he will say "look like me meh"
Wenyl
 
Has anyone ordered cupcakes from cupcake momma? Or any recommendation for delicious & good looking cakes ? THinking of ordering for my FIL's birthday celebration. Yes, it's going to be another huge event typical of my FIL's style. Went to Pine garden but the designs are kind of ugly.
 
wow so much updates!

Tracie
What a scare! I read your encounter that my heart nearly dropped! It's really scary... I guess we have to be vigilant in teaching our kids to be more "street" smart. To be weary when approaching the carparks and MUst MUST hold hands when in the carpark.

SL/KY
Wow! You ladies still going on strong with the BF yah? It's time to wean them off le... have to cold turkey them... that's what my Aunt did when she had a hard time weaning her eldest girl (at 4 years) even when the younger brother came along and she fought for her turn to be at the breast too even though it's meant for di-di to nurse. There are more than one way to bond with our kids.

rachel
Dylan is so cute to offer to help lift your blouse for his didi to suckle. haha! Can imagine!

Mashy
When is your FIL's bday? I think you'll need to call and book cupcake momma 3 months in advance I think. She don't do 1 months booking.
 
Mashy,
Try CL's shifu....one of the nicest cupcakes I ever tasted. But I dunno if its time to order now. Btw, saw u last nite at AMK hawker centre with C & ur hb.
 
Hi mummies,

May,
Isaac is the opposite! He doesn't display any jealousy towards baby Matthew. In fact, he has started hugging and kissing didi. Only thing is, he has become much closer to daddy now. In the past, he would always look for me for comfort and my HB was more his playmate. Now, he will go to my HB first most of the times. Though I still get my share of hugs from Isaac, sometimes, I'm even feel rejected by him!

Flo,
Glad to hear from you! Mel was a splitting image of you when she's younger... but in the picture, I think she looks a bit like your HB too.

sl / ky,
Wah... I think it's rime to stop nursing already. At our kids' age now, only way is to cold turkey.

Wenyl,
So far, Isaac hasn't asked to suckle and I don't offer. IMy MIL even told me that Isaac said to her that didi drinks Mummy's 'nen-nen' the whole day!

Tracie,
Scary! Really need to hold on to our todds!

Mashy,
Isaac had cuopcakes from cupcakesmomma for his 3rd birthday. I ordered about 1 month in advance. Their cupcakes are so-so in taste only lah.

SY,
I may have missed your posting... but how is JH now? He had his ops already?
 
sigh..it's a weekend of close shaves for me. Was feeding Meg and told hubby to look after Duncan who was crawling about. Heard a loud bang...the floor standing speaker fell cos Duncan pulled it and it just missed him. JUST. My heart almost stopped again..His little foot was just beside the speaker. Brave boy din cry despite the loud sound. Hubby was engrossed in his facebook game!!! I told him angrily this is too close already. He told me dun overeact, nothing happened. That made me so mad. I told him off that there is no such thing pretending nothing happened cos it really happened!!! Argh...so angry!
 
Mashy
I ordered cupcakesmomma for Mel bday last year, I think I ordered about 2 weeks in advance. I think unless you are looking for a big and complicated design I don't think you need to order so early in advance.

Queen
Isaac is so sweet. Most of my frens #1 became closer to daddy after #2 arrive. I think cos daddy will be more hangs on cos extra help is needed
happy.gif


Tracie
Wow close shave. I think men are men afterall, they will only regret when something bad really happen

SY
Miss your post, what op did JH do?
 
tracy
can really feel your anger. the thought of the speaker fell can simply make anyone of us here stop breathing! thank goodness duncan is alright, maybe he was too shock by the loud sound and he might even know he did something notti and went "oops!" =p
guess all men is the same, since nothing happen why make a big fuss out of it (they think in this way) AND if something did happen, they will feel sorry. but in the first place why let any accident to have the chance to happen leh?
anyway, mine oso sama sama. rather use eye power or even ear power to 'watch' out the kids. sometime even switch off the power and lost in his own activities e.g. read newspaper/online/watch tv program. hello, i only do these when the kids are sleeping and i am done with the house chores. =S hee me complain abit here.
 
talk about #3, my hb wanted to have atleast 3 and i'm ok with it until recently i got pregnant with #2. morning sickness is bad and sleepy most of the time. alrd told hb we're stop at #2!!! maybe age is catching up also.. haizz..
 
Re: Cupcake Momma
Ha! I think maybe she's not as busy as in the past. Last time I tried to call her like 2 months in advance, no one picks up the phone...email and no one replies. When I finally got her on the phone like 1 month before my planned event... she cannot take in my orders!!! Told me must book her like 2-3 months in advance! That was like 1.5 years ago

Seems like those who used her recently the last couple months have better time-frame.

Tracie
Aiyoh.... am glad that Duncan is alright... My heart will stop too. Really not easy handling 2 kids!

SY
How's JH coping?

Talkative toddlers
Are your toddlers getting more and more talkative? Hahaha I think I remembered Belinda or others sharing that the moment they start, they cannot stop!!

My boy loves to talk, and sing big time!!! Can hear him starting to sing when he wakes up after his milk feed, I think when he comes home from school will still be singing. He tries to engage us and "impress" us by reciting sentences from the books we read to him. i.e. Green Eggs and Ham...even when lights out and we tuck him in bed...he still wants to talk or recite stuff... aiyoh....
 
Mamachan,
When they enter to the "WHY" world...and they expect you to know everything.
Damien become so demanding than he even make sure that i listen and answer every of his questions.

D : why is the tree moving?
M : the tree is moving coz the wind blow.
D : why did the wind blow?
M : the wind blow coz it is going to rain soon.
D : why it is going to rain?
M : did you see the cloud turn black.
D : why did the cloud want to turn black.
M : duno how to explain to him..so i told him..sorry mummy duno..
D : why you duno..tell me....tell me...why you duno
 
Re: cupcake momma

they replied me and said it's still ok to order. But yesterday when i broached the subject to my ILs, my MIL said her kindy kids all rejected the cupcakes, so must be not nice. Nice to look at but not tasty.
sad.gif
So i think probably will just order an normal cake...

belinda

i wish my boy will ask me questions. sigh. He doesn't. So far he's more into 'where', 'what' & 'how'. Not so much on 'why'.

tracie
I'll be furious with my hb too if that happens. Sometimes the men just take safety for granted and totally oblivious to such things ard them. Glad that Duncan is alright.
 
Mashy,
We were having dinner inside the hawker centre & saw ur family walked away from the hawker centre. So din call u.
Yes, usually E don't like to eat cupcakes, only licked the cream toppings. So we were surprised when he ate the cupcake made by CL's shifu during S's bday party last year.
When C starts asking WHY....it just doesn't stop & u will wish he doesn't ask so many WHYs. Can be very irritating at times. Haha! Sometimes I get so tired of answering E's "bo liao" whys, I asked him back the same question & let him answer it himself.
 
hi mummies, I am back from genting. it was a good deserving break without the kids but we missed them badly esp when there is a theme park there and kids are all over the area. we didn;t really like there and in fact we tried to check out on sat but they said no refund. haiz. cos we thot of gg to Malacca instead for the other night stay. it doesn;t help that we are not a gambler and hate smoky area. seriously i do not think its a good place to bring kids as ppl are literally smoking everywhere in the building. it was jammed packed with ppl and moving ard with stroller can be a challenge. weather was definitely the only plus factor. it was colder at night and day time, it was alright. so nope, we don't think we will be gg back again. it was scary watching ppl gambling away so much money. one person played roulette and just placed RM800 all over the numbers and in less than 1 min, all was gone! oohhh...heart pain for him!

tracie - oh my..what a narrow escape for ur kids! Thank GOD both are fine. i guess just have to be more careful in future. My J is also very active ..that;s why always need a dedicated person watching over him. i know it can be tiring at times. tats why he also have bumps here and there. just yesterday, he fell down while walking and bite his lips. haiz. there is only so much we can do but on the roadside, just have to be extra vigilent. oh and ur hb, i will be angry too if it was me. knock knock his head! :p


may - wah! Jamie can really eat but she doesn't look big on the picture. how i wish my C has such huge appetite as Jamie too. I will give him all the food he craves for. haha.. My boy is just so choosy with food. even mac donald nuggets doesn't go well with him.

regarding 1-1 session, last time when i was bf my second boy, C also sticks to me like glue. so bo bian, i will bring him in the same room. while i bf J, C will watch video in the room. i guess u have to give Jamie some time as she is so used to having ur dedicated attention and now having to share it just doesn;t sink in. do note to have some 1-1 session with Jamie too...like reading a book before bed, bath time etc.

mamachan - haha...D is so funny. C also have 101 why why why whenever he talks. sometimes, i also will say i don;t know. haha...

flo - hi there! i agree with the other mums tha ur girl resembles you alot
 
Wenyl/Belinda
Haha! My boy doesn't ask me why until like that. He just takes in whatever answer I give him and repeats after me. My girlfriend's daughter on the other hand loves to ask me "Why" each time she sees me. So I very quickly "Why" her back and "bombard" her with lots of Why questions like Why is she asking me Why ...etc etc... hahaha, until she cannot answer and she changes the subject with me :p So I think that's a very useful way to counter their Whys :p

FLo
Forgot to mention: Mel is getting more and more adorable! And yes, she's getting prettier and looking more like mummy! Such a sweet gal too!

Mashy
You're not alone on the Whys... my boy doesn't ask me on Whys....

Can I ask another question?
Are your toddlers able to button up their shirts already?
 
Wenyl
I see I see. Coz recently in the past 1 month, D had been able to button his own school uniform on his own... takes some time but gets the job done... so I was wondering if any of the toddlers here had started to button their own clothes
 
sigh, really dunno what to do with my boy. He's now wanting to eat char siew bao for lunch instead of the fish porridge that i made for him. sigh.
 
hi mommies,
havent logged in for a long time!

Congrats to all the mommies who have popped!

Mashy,
I used CL's shifu for her cupcakes and it was pretty good.

SSF,
it muct have been good to have a break alone with hb even though the holiday wasnt so good... how I wish hb and I are able to go away ALONE... I think I have to wait till the youngest turn 3 at least! That's three years away... the only thing hb and I ever did together alone was lunch!

Flo,
Melody is all grown up liao!

XXL and L Mamapoko pants to give away
any mommies' girls are using XXL or L Mamapoko pants? I have a opened bag of 9 XXL and 7 L pants lying in my cupboard unused. Silly hb went to buy XXL for S when she was using diaper pants! And the L sizes are the remaining which she is not using anymore...
 
rachel,
no worries, come here to 'air' your greviances. And yes, men are men...

mamachan,
meg could button her shirt some timg back already too. i tink gals are more interested in learning to do such things. My nephews were and are still not keen to put on their own clothes etc.

SSF,
Shiok...holiday with hubby only. Same here can't travel without the kids for the time being. But told hubby that our 10th year wedding anniversary we must go on a short trip just the two of us! 2011!
 
SSF

So nice lor. I will never be able to go on a hol without the kids until they're like old enough to take care of themselves. Like at least in their teens. Coz no one wanna help me take care.
sad.gif
 
mashy
yup my shifu's blog is www.myhumblearts.blogspot.com She can do whole cake no problem too. In case you are keen then just pm or sms me for her contact

Me just nap from 10 pm to 12 am and was up since then. Aden down with cough and of course merlion act never stop. 12 am high fever again and give another suppository. Then 2 am merlion. 3 am still ask for playhouse disney. Knock out at 3.30 and then woke up at 6 and want to follow me to bring charmaine down.



It does not help when it is drizzling that I need to take umbrella and carry aden on one hand. Sigh. Mummy realli like superwoman. My sir still sleeping soundly.

While monitoring him i cannot sleep at all. Only accomplishment is my scrapbook layout within 1 hour. Then have to prepare charmaine's breakfast liao.
 
Mashy/Tracie,
Try to go before your children go primary school otherwise have wait till their teens.
Since we can't go for couple trip...hahahah we plan for our own trip....
So this year i am plan to extend my trip after my training in Germany.
Aiyo got to do my own homework.
 
belinda

bo bian leh, no one to help me babysit them.
sad.gif


my ILs already said they're not helping if we're going overseas for hols. They said if we wanna go hols, must bring the kids along.

CL
aiyoh, so chum. Hope Aden recovers soon. And u get your good night's sleep. I wonder how u cope having such little sleep. I surely cannot.

Thanks, but think will have to stick to normal cakes after talking to them. U know lah, old foggies not used to new stuff. sigh.
 
mashy,
ya it will be tough if no one is help you to bbsit.

Re : Flu Vaccination
Can i know how many jab need to be taken for our child @ age of 3.
I remember that my #1 only take 1 jab instead of 2.
Brought damien to SBCC last mth for the jab but was told to take another jab after 1 mth.
 
haiz.. i also can't go holiday with hb only coz not one look after the kid!

belinda, if first timer, need 2 jabs but 2nd timer only 1.
 
Hi SSF ... I guess it's because it's Public Holiday, that's why Genting is so crowded.

I've just came back from Desaru; it's our 2nd time there but the difference is it's with a lot of friends. And the experience is very different. Very few people during non-PH trip and we had very good and personalized service.
But with a lot of friends, we were not so tired jaga-ing the kids coz we could share workload. Will prob want to go again to Genting during non-peak... oh, btw, I too have to travel with kids n I think since that's our option, we've got to learn to make use of that to our advantage.

.ky.
 
Hi CL,
you are really super woman leh! I dun think I can even function as a human being, much less a mommy without any sleep!

KY,
how's the hotel security there when you went Desaru? I actually love to go Desaru as a mini break, but my parents are hesitant this time round coz they say hotel security is quite bad now...
 


sleepingdeer ...

hm, didn't notice much abt the hotel security, but as usual we left our valuables in the room's safe ... actually more laxed this time with so many of us that only my hubby jaga all the luggage that litters ard the place while waiting to check-in. I feel it's the usual, just an additional step of temp checking before we enter the country (ie whether it's going to malaysia or back to singapore). we took the ferry btw.

.ky.
