HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
Cutie, thanks for the call yesterday. Haven’t been checking the forum lately.
Cookie, thanks for organizing the BP. Will arrange IBT tonite.
Mich, hope Brendan loves everything there! Have to order one month in advance from the States … so worried that Comgate would not make it in time … two of the items have yet to arrive lei! Kell was overwhelmed! I lined up her Elmo presents one by one … from our bed all the way to our hall … she woke up yesterday morning, stared at the presents then trail all d way to the hall! Then we encouraged her to open it … whenever she saw an Elmo, she would goes ‘Lmoo Lmoo’ with her two hands clapping … so cute!
Eh, you are certainly welcome to my home …but hor, you don’t scold me hor … I might be leaving for Aussie on 8 Feb. Wanna come along? But I haven’t planned the trip … don’t know where to go. Haha. Ijin had a bumper year this year and he said we can go two trips next year. So bringing grandpa to Hokkaido next April and we are thinking of a short trip to Aussie during CNY period … wanna come?
MUMMIES,
Re: Terrible Twos Tantrum (TTT)
It works on Kell! Reverse psychology works! The past six days or so, her TTT really have tamed down. She has stopped throwing tantrums … really a darling and a fantastic helper to have around! And mummy is proud to say that she can feed herself neatly now! Haha … she knows that she has to fetch her own bowl and spoon when it is meal or snack time (from the kitchen’s drawer), she knows that she has to clean her table when she is done eating … Enjoying manz!

Toad,
She real shy hor? Guliang guliang! On Xmas eve, we brought her to Tanglin Mall to watch snow party ... when the snow foam start landing on her head ... she pout her lips and fake cry ... so, we brought her to a quiet place where she won't get 'dirty' by snow ... and she went 'ho ho ho' and kept on smiling and laughing! One fine day, I am going to dump her in d mud pool. Haha.

<font face="tahoma"> paula, for wes's case it's not that we dont understand what he wants!
it's like he wants but i dont give. he loves to hold his waterbottle then shake all the water on the floor and then tell me innocently, "wet wet". whenever i tried to take away, he will scream. so angry that i have to snatch it away.. dont know if this is the right way but my limit is definitely up there already!
cutie,
i think boys are quite terrible... my hubby's nephew did the same too! bang on the floor!!!! </font>

Haha, kell went through that phrase too! You are not alone! For Kell, she will pour d water into her kitchen set basin! Faint! But once she start getting daring ... like pouring water into her cup or bowl and it get spilled over, I will go, Stop, Kelly! That's not a right thing to do. Then ask her to pass me the bottle and I will bring to d kitchen ... she will then start her TTT ... then I will tell her, cry for all you want. I'll only speak to you when you stop crying ... but lucky lah, she has pass through that stage now!

mspiggy,
I'm facing the same problem with my B too! Lately, when he goes shopping, he took something, he refuses to let go and go off. When i say, "it's time to go, let's go", he screamed in displeased and run away! Always end up no choice but to snatch the things fr his hands and he cried and screamed loudly! Really don't know how to talk sense to him, even exchange with something else, he also don't want! Yesterday, go to my friend's house, he hold on to 2 crayons and refuses to let go. When it's time to go home, i almost kow tow to him, talk until dried up, give him any other things he also won't want to return the crayons, so again ended up snatching them from him! So embarassed and helpless! I also don't know how to change his attitude???
Dor,
Am working tmr too...not sure if i can go down...what u eyeing on? Me thinking if burberry has got good discount...
The sales only 1 day?

Very naughty right? He just want his way, if he cannot get his way, this is how he throw his temper! Sometimes, he will drag and lie on the floor and cried/screamed loudly!

mspiggy, serene,
High five.. hahaha.. you are not alone!
A used to scream at the top of his voice to get attention. Now, not much already. He dun do that to me anymore, cos I ignored him. hahaha... He will still do that to my hubby sometimes.
We gotta get him interested to play with other things to get back the things they are holding. It will take a bit of time and lots of efforts. I am getting very heavy and tired, so sometimes, just snatch from A or let my hubby deal with A. But my hubby's way is usually the hard way.. just snatch... Need lots of patience one...
hahaha... I just bought a book on Christmas eve to calm my souls when taking care of A. hahaha... Yet to read

MT,
welcome back. Post pics leh..
Mich,
so u back for CNY? c u...
paula,
wish i can adopt reverse psychology on J but...very hard la cos living with in-laws. They tend to give him what he wants..so he seldom throw tantrum. When i am with him, then u will him cry. He will frown & shake his head when he refused to let u take something from him. When i raised my voice (but not very loud) and said "Josh, stop it!" his eyes will become watery, he will lowered his head & avoid looking at me. He will look at his father or yeh yeh for their help.
mspiggy,
sometimes i also use 'distraction' tactic. But i think bad behaviour must be stop lor. J likes to play with the house phone now. So afraid that he will accidently pressed '999'..haha
lyn & dor,
rest more, dun tired yourselves during this festive season. Know gender yet?
