<font color="0000ff">I'll not be attending the trial at PP coz (1) too far (2) the duration is only 15 mins!
Not worth the hassle.
Qoosan,
I have not been to Sponge's hse before. Maybe we had met outside.
ss1,
I have not receive the masks yet but my colleague tried the DD series and said they're not bad. She has very good complexion and, so should be alright ya?

WASHINGTON, D.C. - This is the season when homes fill up with gifts and guests. When traveling, parents may choose alternative sleeping environments for babies. The U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning families nationwide that air mattresses are too soft for use with sleeping infants. Never place infants to sleep on air mattresses or other soft surfaces (such as water beds and adult beds), which are not specifically designed or safe for infant use.
Since 2002, CPSC has received reports of 16 tragic deaths, mostly infants younger than 8 months of age who were placed to sleep on air
mattresses: 11 suffocated in a <font color="ff0000">face down position on an air mattress</font> and 5 died due to <font color="ff0000">suffocation after falling into gaps between the mattress and bed frame and mattress and adjacent furniture or wall</font>.
Generic twin-, full-, or queen-sized inflatable mattresses are usually intended for adults and older children. Even properly inflated air mattresses are usually too soft for infants to maintain a clear airway. Air leaks and under-inflation also contribute to incidents.
Wherever your baby sleeps should be as safe as possible. CPSC recommends these safe sleeping tips:
* Always place your baby to sleep on his or her back to reduce the risk of SIDS.
* Never place baby to sleep on an adult bed. Infants can suffocate on bedding or can become entrapped between the mattress and bed frame or
mattress and wall.
* When using a crib, make sure it meets current safety standards, has a firm, tight-fitting mattress and tight-fitting bottom sheet.
* When using a portable crib or play yard, be sure to use only the mattress or pad provided by the manufacturer.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of serious injury or death from more than 15,000 types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $800 billion annually. The CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical, or mechanical hazard. The CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters, and household chemicals - contributed significantly to the decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 30 years.

hi mummies,
went for montessori playgroup (trial) at Railway Mall today.Total waste of $$!.
Class starts from 1000-1100hrs. They started off with free play. You get to chose the things you wanna play with.Eg, sorting out difference colors of plastic bears, use spoon to scoop marcoroni into another bowl, stacking containers cap back those hotel mini shampoo bottles and others. These lasted 25 MINS!!!
After which is phonics, alphabet 'N'. There were only 3 students + my gal 4.Each get to trace the alphabet and touch 3 items that begin with the letter 'N'.Eg, nuts, napkin and necklace.Then we were given some colored macoronis and strings to make into a necklace.This takes another 20 MINS.
Off to wash hands and it's songs time.We sing along to CD (If you happy and you know is clap your hands,stomp your feet and nod your head) + 1 Goodbye Song and class ended at 1055hrs!!
Teachers there like robot.Sian sian kind.Wont prompt the kids to get involve.Just sit there like Toa Pek Kong!!

Sure... now prepping her.
Tell her that she is going to school soon.
'Me me' (Sien) will sing songs with teachers, can play with friends, can wear uniform, wear shoes. Eat with friends etc...
She seems quite happy and when we ask her, are you ready? she always says, I want school. After 2 weeks will share if she is doing fine...

could it be viral rash after hi fever? my ger had it when she was 10+ mths old & she had false measles. Usually the rash will come on after the fever but once u get rash, means the fever is subsiding...rash will take 2-3 days to go away. U brot him to PD? i'm surprised that even the doc is surprised by the rash.
ivy

They have a london-wheel thingy there though that u can bring ur kid for a ride...we went b4 last time so din bring my ger cos we thot she'll probably not appreciate it that much hahah
