Tracy,
Thanks, KJ is usually in his happy mood unless I say no when he wants his milk. Then he will cry.
momyam,
wow, did not realise you took so many pictures. Now waiting for you to email them to me. I did not take much pictures because I was busy with KJ. I did not take any pictures at the water fall which I think it was quite wasted.
babe,
congratulation. It is so nice to see your newborn.

Hello,
any mommies here send your child to Julia Gabriels? Any comments? Which one did you go to, the one at Forum, or the one at Evans Road?
Am thinking of sending Shawn there this term, and see if he likes it. If he likes it more than his shichida's class, then i will stop the latter... think Shawn's not so interested in Shichida, though he likes the teacher alot.

Ruixiangmum,
L just started his JG at Evans last sat. JG and Shichida are different. JG has story telling, playing, singing, dancing, art and craft, snack time. Its more lively compared to Shichida.
Maybe you can go for a trial before deciding if Shawn likes it. You should have joined us few mommies during the Holiday Programme by JG in Nov last year. The Holiday Programme curriculum is almost the same as the weekly lessons. oh ya, its billigual (English and Mandarin)
Personally, I prefer SM teaching. I feel tat at Shichida, L can learn more things. Most likely, I will send L back to Shichida after this term end.
May I know what is your comment on shichida after all these lessons?

Hi Tiffany,
Which time slot did you send L for at JG? I have actually already signed up, cos they don't have trial.
Ruixiang will be having his first class this Sat at Evans, which is the second class for the term. We might be in the same class! I signed up for the 4.30pm class. I thought it would be good for me to assess if this class is good before I terminate Ruixiang for SM at the end of this term. But I have not paid up yet, will pay at this Saturday. You really think the class pales in comparison to SM? Hmm, maybe I will send him for trial later instead of joining the class now.
one of my friends was telling me the same thing you mentioned; should have joined the holiday classes first. Does L enjoy the class? Appreciate it if you can share more with me, so that I can call to cancel my registration before this sat and wait for a trial class.

Hey Hunnie,
Read your blog too. I hope Amanda is alright now. My hubby told me she was at class last Sun, but has lost some weight
Hope that things are better for you and her and that you are more settled somewhat at your job.
I can understand what you are going through, as I also had to tear myself away from Ruixiang when he was 10 months old and leave him in the care of a total stranger (nanny). I would rush back, and bring him home to spend time with him. Without him around, there seems to be a void in my life. 1 year down the road, now, I don't feel that void as much, but I will rush to finish my work (so I am more efficient now), and leave to go home early so that I can see him again! Nothing beats seeing the smile on their face when they see you... correct?

Hi Ruixiangmum,
Yes.. L and S could be classmates! Same time slot. btw, which studio they allocate to you? L is at Studio 3.
At JG, they emphasise alot on play and singing. If you have tried GUG, they are similar. During the JG holiday prog, L dint seem to enjoy, but now, I feel he is enjoying himself. Personally, I feel that the sessions tat JG offer, can be taught at home by ourselves, such as art and craft, story telling, singing etc...Comparing the holiday prog and 1st class last sat, they sang the same song! It appears quite routine lor... see how it goes, its only 1st lesson afterall.
I like shichida's teaching cos I like their varieties of materials. They are really very creative in this aspect. I like also the classroom based set-up, it really discipline the kids.

Hi Tiffany,
I am going to cancel Ruixiang's registration at JG. Will go for a trial later first before deciding. Partly because this is only Ruixiang's 3rd term at SM, and we can only get back the fees paid for the parent's education course after 1 full year anyway. Will be xiong to send him to 2 classes, time and costs wise.

Ruixiangmom,
Oh... I hope I did not influence your decision to cancel JG. Different people will have different opinion and each child's interest is also different. I feel that L is sociable,playful and not shy kind, so, I rather save this money and expose him to something I cant do myself, cos I am not creative in self-made materials. Just bring him out more often and let him mingle with other kids to play lor. Singing arh.. I can sing! keke... DVD can also do the job...

Hi all,
morning.
What is happening to our thread? How comes it is getting so quiet? Where are all April 06 mummies?
<font color="0000ff">Re: colostrum tablets?</font>
What is this colostrum tablets? I have read up a bit on web. But, where do you buy these tablets and how to feed our toddlers?
<font color="0000ff">Re: Childcare centre feedback?</font>
Ah. Xuanting is in Creative O for the second week today.
As we expected that she would fall sick, she fell sick on Thursday night with fever. Though not very high.
We guessed she caught the virus from us, the parents and not from school. Though a few kids are running coughs here and there...
Anyway, what to do, those parents of sick kids need to work and so ask the teachers to take care of their children.
Today, she cried when my mom told her she was going. Think, because she had not been in school for more than two days. The teachers as usual was very patient (based on what I saw on last 3 days). So, one of them who had been very close with Xuanting, carried her and "shooed" my mom to go off.
Hopefully all is fine. =p
My only concern, is eating. Xuanting refused to take the CC's lunch. Though on Wed and Thurs, the teachers managed to feed her several mouths.
This girl, is so fussy at food.
I hope with the influence of her little friends, she would start to eat more. Quite a few of them even asked for second and third rounds of food!

Su,
I just hope it is a growth spurt. I'm just amazed that she is always asking for food. Even right after drinking her milk. I have also increase her milk intake from 220ml to 240ml.
Evon,
Colostrum is the first milk of the cow. You can get them at Fu Hua Medical Hall. I gave them to Enya like sweets. Thanks to Su and Hunniepot for the recommendation.

Breakfast menu
Ladies, I am trying to increase the variety of J's breakfast and wondering if you can contribute some ideas.
This is what J has for breakfast so far:
HT Cereal (most of the time)
Bread soaked in fresh milk (most of the time)
scramble egg (once in a blue moon)
So if I take away the scramble egg, he survives mainly on cereal and bread for breakfast only. Like so poor thing hor.

Hi Mel,
I am also running out of ideas on what to give Shawn. These are the things he current takes:
- wholemeal bread, yoghurt, cheese
- oatmeal cereal with banana
- cheese omelette
- steam/ stir fried eggs with bread
- cake e.g. pandan cake (occasionally)
- nonya zhang (occasionally).
Ruixiang doesn't like things that are too sweet, so he does like spreads on his bread, which limits his variety somewhat.

Draik,
We too fed our girl breakfast too; just that mostly bread, cake and whatever breakfast we ate during that time.
Xuanting easily gets "heatiness" so we tries not to let her to take those toasted, baked or fried stuff.
Do you mommies have such problem with your children?
By the way, what health supplements are you giving to your children? And how frequent do you feed them on those suplements?

Hey Koalarie,
I think I am quite KS, and give Ruixiang quite alot of supplement
, but so far so good.
- Delrosa (Vit c in drinks)
- Colostrum tablets
- Baby Life (from GNC, it's powdered live cultures, to be added to milk). Now they are out of it, so I buy the normal live cultures from GNC. The staff said can give to kids as long as they are on solids. Give small quantity though. V helpful during diarrhoea as it replaces the good bacteria in the tummy which are eliminated during diarrhoea.
- DHA chewy capsules for kids, also from GNC.

Hi Su,

petite,
You can get the colostrum tablets from hock hua, about $30+ per bottle
Tracy,
My girl seems to be on a growth spurt too.. her appetite seemed to be much better nowadays *touch wood*.. she can finish 1 full bowl of porridge and yet still want to eat bread after that.. in the past, I have difficulties even feeding her half bowl of porridge

Tracy (tracy), Looks like I am in the same boat as you... I thought only my son only.
Is it common for them to hv fever now and then?
The fever last for 1-2 days. Can be as high as 39.5 rite?
My mom was telling me it could be active tonsils that caused it.
I am so worry abt his health. Now no appetite. MIlk and food also don't want. Fever now gone, now is the running nose & cough. Really lost.
hunniepot (hunniepot), Er, sorry wat is hock hua? Where can I find this store?
That's good. Amanda is eating more now. My boy is the other way round now.
