(2006/05) May 2006 MTB

Hi Mommies,

Want to check if any May babies who sometimes skip nap all together. My girl had been skipping some naps for the past week (about twice in a week). By the time I get home from work, she is looking very tired. Knocked out at 7.30pm..... Wondering if it is harmful to her health. Any idea?
 


<font color="0000ff">For me, I can live without TV though my DH is a TV buff. I seldom watch TV and that includes my son too.

Annie,
You're very loaded hor! Waiting for Keane to destroy your "quite x" LCD TV?! I'm still using my 8.5 yo 21" CRT type at home and have actually had it repaired once several years ago!</font>
 
<font color="0000ff">Joyfulmom,

Your girl is still not as "bad" as my boy. He has been skipping naps on weekdays (everyday) when I'm working. He'll be very tired when I reach home and will want me to carry him to the bedroom to sleep. He'll usually fall asleep pretty soon after that.

*I think* not having day naps is not very good for them as they need the rest to replenish their energy and bodily functions. But as they grow older and become more active, their nap time will also reduce.</font>
 
bbloh,
I am not loaded,just that all my furnitures are super low height to prevent my bunnies hiding.. never plan to have a bb through.. tats y i stated waiting k to destory.. he basically can reach, used toy to hit on e tv screen.. regardless how many times i cane him..
Unless i change tv console & other furnitures.. sigh! My friend only paid $1.5k for e same brand LCD Tv and bigger size just 1/2 yr apart..

Pardon me if i m wrong, CRT also v x with clear resso.. def long life...
 
annie,
CRT these days very cheap...less than $200 can get a big big one! You very loaded leh, want K to destroy for you then get a new one...haha...

Joyfulmon,
my son will skip naps on weekends cos he want us to play with him and bring him out. But for weekdays, his caregiver will make sure he nap at least once, although only 1hr max these days.
But since your girl slp so early without her nap, as long as total got 12-13 hrs, then shld suffice.( read from somewhere).
 
Ivy,

What brand is your TV huh? Gotta avoid buying the same brand
biggrin.gif

LCD TV so cheap now, if your repair really cost you $2k, you can ask them to keep it..or you can bring to Annie's house and let K play? Hee hee hee!

Naps

My boy seldom skip his afternoon nap, and if he does, he'll usually sleep v v early and that is bad for me!! Cos he'll wake up super duper early! BTW my boy have not really sleep through.....out of 7 nights, he'll wake up at least 3 nights to drink his milk. His usually naps 1.5 - 2hrs in the afternoons.

Hi Mummies!

Sorry for the delay about...ZOOPHONICS!

They don't practise trial coz 1 lesson can't see much result. So here are the charges:

Registration: $30
Monthly Fee: $100 (either 4 or 5 times a month)

For the one at Sin Ming, the classes for our kids are Sundays 9.45am or 11am, 1 hour duration.

Anyone keen?

Cheri,
gymnoboree got charge freeplay by hr too..its $15 per hr if you are not member.

Joyce,

SS1, the zoophonics at sing ming have trial leh..i booked the trial but din attend eventually..withdrawing my gal from GUG too next term and wil be attending something else.
 
Eh! How come like that? I purposely asked for trial coz not sure how the kid will respond/behave and the lady told me no trial...
sad.gif


Pooh,
How much is the trial? BTW, where do u live? Are u volunteering your place for the homebased playgroup?
 
Talking abt naps...

Ah K is a faithful follower of Uncle Zhou Gong but dunno wat is wrong with him recently!!!

Nowaday he practically dun sleep lor. Kept passing me the TV & DVD remote to ask me switch them on. My poor TV has been working hard the past few days
sad.gif
 
ss1

hi SS1, the trial is $25. the sch fees is pretty affordable too. $100 per mth . each lesson is 1 hr. u spoke to katherine??

YEs, i can open up my home for homebased playgroup. when are u starting one?? im residing at toa payoh. BTW, wat kind of hmebased playgroup u are organising? mummies who are keen to join can take turns to organise an activity ?? i dnt mind to volunteer to do flashcards..done quite a fair bit of material for my elder gal when she was attending shichida.

Cheri, i putting my no2 to shichida. My elder gal was there for abt 3 yrs and find that is gd..my hubby believe in right brain stimulation ... i joined gymboree membership also..went to vivo branch quite often.. there pretty new and clean ..keke

ivy,
Wah, thanks.. i read from newspp, stated e 34 inch Samsung LCD selling $899 @ sintex.. latest model.

SS1,
I like to go for the trial if you are organising.Not sure work for k, k sure run around, screaming instead of guai guai sitting there.. :p
 
Pooh,
Ya, I spoke to CAtherine at Zoophonics Sin Ming. Strange leh... Will call her again. (Annie, stay tuned!)

I think you gave your feedback at the homebased playgroup thread which I started. That one is more formal, like a once or twice a week 2 hour program. I'm starting the program with my boy's playgroup teacher who is very good with the 2-3 year old. She doesn't want to continue with the school already, but a few of the mummies with kids under her thought she's too good to give up the career because of bad school management. Since I'm doing part time enrichment teaching, so trying to explore partnering with her and do homebased program.

Like I said, the homebased is hopefully for kids around the same neighbourhood so that the kids and mothers don't have to travel far for classes. I just find travelling 2-hour (round trip) with kids to attend a one hour program is such a waste of time and tiring!! :p

Anyway, maybe we can also form regular informal playgroup. We can take turns to host, then I can do my program, you do the flash card, someone else do other things... This one no need to pay as long as each one contribute some activities! Wanna start?

Hi Qoosan,

Went to peek into the other class last weekend, but hor...dun recognise u la...post a pic of ur bb? this weekend i gatecrash again.

Btw, are u going to continue w the BJG? I still considering. ...I will be sending R to the MMI enrichment class in Jan 08 so thinking whether to continue w BJG. U?
 
<font color="0000ff">My friend's son is also attending BJG on Sat. The teacher's name is April. Think it's the same class as Qoosan's kid. She'll not be continuing as she mentioned that the fees had increased from $300+ to $400+ (too $$$). In addition, she's enrolling him in Talent Plus playgroup next month, which she said also provide similar programs as BJG.

Ih-jyc,
Which branch are you sending Rayne to? Is it daily or weekend classes?</font>
 
re: globetrotters

Let you girls know if I can make it or not ok? Might have a prior appointment
sad.gif


Hi joyce,

Which MMI branch you sending R to?
 
<font color="0000ff">Has anyone visited Jurong Bird Park recently? Planning to bring DS there over the weekends.</font>
 
bbloh
yes, i brot my ger there last mth n signed up for the family membership too...less stuff to c than the zoo but i feel good enuff for them since they can't last that long anyway...she loves the waterfall area but i've yet to let her feed the birds...heard there's one section that u can do that..we only explored a part of the bird park n she was tired (hahaha! or was it us?)

re classes
wat classes do rite/whole brain approach besides shicida n bjg? i've checked out both but not really suitable due to timing, location etc.
 
Just brought 2 kids to Jacob Balla Garden, they love it!! Reached there around 8.45am and there was around 5 cars only, so good! They really love the water play area and Isabel refused to go home! :p Swing over to Botanic Swan lake there for a picnic and it was so breezy and nice. Hmm...enjoying life!
