hi mummies, dropping by to say hello.
Shylyn - you can try bringing your kid just outside the house, then downstair to the playground, then shopping. Start with short duration, then gradually increase, I believe you can do it. Bringing out 1 kid is definitely a lot easier than bring 2 (which I found out after having 2).
Btw, can mummies enlighten me on the zoophonics and letterland way of teaching, think zoophonics is using animals right?
I've been teaching my gal phonics myself and she's quite good already, so has never sent her to any phonics lesson. Thot it might be good to know more, since different cc/school using different styles.

babe - thanks for sharing on the online buy. Guess me too busy lately to learn. Do share again if got some more lobang. A lot to learn from u mummies, so proficient with online buying, guess maybe sometimes me prefer concrete stuff cos' sometimes pictures shown on website look different when received (those I bought in the bulk purchase forum).
Have a nice day.

Toilet Training
Ruixiang was toilet trained at 22 month old when he started playgroup. Actually the toilet training was triggered by my sis, who claimed that all her 3 children are toilet trained by 18 months. *rolled eyes*. of course going to class also helps us to be more onz in training him. The teacher helps too.
He not night and nap toilet trained yet though, i.e. still wears diapers when sleeping.

Re: Toilet Train
Enya is not toilet train too. I tried not to let her wear her diapers during the weekends. She will either hold on to her urine or ask for diapers. But she slowly realised that it is ok to pee or poo in the potty. Will try it out for another few weeks. Hope that it is successful.

Aiden is not toilet-trained too. I tried letting him wear his favourite Thomas briefs, but he still is not able to inform me before he pees. So I end up with a wet floor everytime he wears his briefs, but luckily so far, all accidents happened on the floor and not on sofa/bed.
I find, like Enya, he also holds his urine when he wears briefs, once he went for a period of almost 3 hrs without urinating. As soon as I put on diapers for him, he pee-ed.

Toilet Training
Isaac was being trained at between 18 to 20months i thk. Thanks to the playgroup teacher encouragement then so we started that young.
He has successfully toilet trained both at home and outside and diaperless during nap time; now is only the night time he is not toilet train at this moment. But at times i will get upset if he is on diaper and if he wants to pee pee.
He will insist take out the diaper to pee and refuse to wear the diaper back but wants his underwear instead.

Hi to all mummies. How's everything in Singapore?
Btw, heard there's great sale in the US online websites, anyone knows which one got good sales?
Regarding potty training, my gal was fully toilet trained at 19 months old, ie she has been diaperless since then. Currently, my no. 2 (now around 17 months) is semi-potty trained cos' she will only tell me when she wants to poo and not pee. Funny thing is that she was able to tell me when she wants to pee at around 15 months. Mummies with No. 2 will find that it's easier to potty train them as they will want to do what the No. 1 does.
I think I have read before that some mummies have already succeeded potty training while the child is still a baby, ie. before 1 year old.
fussiecat - thanks about the letterland website. Will look through in more details when free. So far what I've taught my No. 1 has been effective, so will use the same on my No. 2, maybe will use the letterland or zoophonics as supplement.
See my happy gal typing ABC when she's 18 month old.

I considered mine as fully trained except night time. Will start the night training probably when he's slightly older. He can tell you when to pee n poo and sleep w/o diaper during nap time. But in the childcare, they still let him wear diaper incase he has accident. Once he's up, he's w/o any diaper. Really save $. So far, onlu use 1 diaper once a day and that is during night time.
Reiner, yupz she's happy back at pats and now I dun have crying problem. My gal can speak quite well but can't read on her own..but of coz there are times we have to interpret abit what she's saying as her sentence not complete. Actually before I left agape, I asked the p why some programmes not in place yet and she told it's due to the small number. Btw, if u know anyone want to buy the uniforms over, let me know.
Toilet train
Wow u guys are so fast with toilet training. Mine for now if you put her on diapers, she will not tell. If I put her on panties, she will tell me. Tried that last weekend when I bring her out to united sq and she actually told me and we went to toilet and she wee.
Erm...cc doesn't do toilet training till yr they turn 3 though I feel she is ready. Dunno good or bad...

Hi mummies,
My no. 2 is down with diarrhoea, may I know what do you feed your toddler if your bb has diarrhoea and also what food to avoid?
Brought her to a peaditrician, dunno is it the pd's English (a Korean) is not good or she misinterprets "formula milk" as something else, she said fresh milk not ok, but "formula milk" is ok. Wonder is it true, I thot we should avoid milk when having diarrhoea?
Rosabel - welcome

Koalarie/Tracy - Dun have internet access the last few days. Thanks a lot. My gal's stool is still soft type, but at least no more watery/ diarrhoea like that day. Glad to have your replies, was actually getting a little disheartened earlier to pose queries and not getting response here.
Tracy - ya, me still in Korea. English is almost useless here cos' most of them can't speak/understand English. Most of the time have to rely on hubby to be the translator. Didn't see Pediasure here, cos' things here are written in Korean. But one thing good is that they have milk powder by Abbott (ie. Gain IQ supplier) which I will buy when my Gain IQ which I brought over from Singapore runs out.
Wishing a happy 2009 to everyone.

hi hunniepot,
yes, (thankfully) aiden is still having at least a 2 hr nap every afternoon. no signs that he does not need the nap anymore cos he will start showing signs of tiredness by 3pm if he does not sleep by then.
maybe you can set a fixed earlier bedtime for amanda everyday like 8pm if she does not nap in the afternoon. lights off at 8pm, stay with her in the room, but do not interact with her, once she is bored she will fall asleep. maintain the pattern for some time, and she shd fall into the pattern. it worked for my son, although his bedtime is not 8pm.... it's 1030pm.

twws,
That's what I did for Enya. Lights off at 9pm. Only recently when I'm watching Little Nonya then off at 10pm
But she will toss and turn for about an hour before going to sleep.
Her afternoon nap is at least 3hrs. This is the only time I have to do some housework and go online.

Hello all,
Happy new year.
It's been a while since I last posted.
I need some advice.
My sis is getting married soon and we re wondering what is the usual rate that one gives to the 'new' brother in law during tea reception? She is my yonger sister.
And is it supposed to give an hongbao per couple or I and my husband gives our own hongbao separately?

Tracy - sorry, been too busy lately, now even dropping by shortly before I go for my Korean lesson. Btw, I saw pediasure here too, you are right imported goods are not a common sight here. Well, me won't be back in the near future (got the same sentiment as you about unpredictability of life as you mentioned in your blog), so decided to stay with hubby until he comes back to Singapore. Hee... your gal getting prettier, must have many "suitors" in class.
Hunnipot - my Amanda still naps in the afternoon, maybe cos' of the cold weather here to hibernate. haha...
Evon - For my case, I gave hongbao which I think is more practical. Hope my reply not too late.
Have a nice day to everyone today.

Hey Steph,
I think it is good that you are able to stay with your hubby. Or else he will be quite lonely there.
My girl is very vain now. Buy new clothes for her, she will say she wants to try. I guess she now understand the meaning of pretty. Your 2 girls also getting very pretty too. Eyes very big leh!

I still have only one child. Am not that as hardworking as I used to. Am also scared that my second child may be like Xuanting that fussy eater and weak as well.
She's now with Creative O the second year and is beginning to enjoy her class too. She could remember some of her friends and always told us what happened in school and addressed her classmates too.
It is really fun age to play now. She kept asking lots of why, how come and what happens - these types of questions. Good that at least she is asking.
What abt all other mummies?
