toto/poohy,
the dvd series you talking abt, is it baby einstin or little einstein? Little einstein doesn't seem to have topics that introduce musical concept, famous music, and famous places, like what poohy says, seems like baby einstein is the series, or did I search wrongly? I went to amazon web to search.
toto, thanks for info on sony handheld, will check it out. think I will prob buy if it can be connected to TV, then I don't have to bring my dvd player to UK too.

Lobang Queen... know anything abt current washer-dryer models?
My 4.5yo washer-cum-dryer kaput! Repairman said cost of repairs not worth it . Siiiiiiiiiiiigh.
I need a washer-cum-dryer cos my rubbish chute is behind my washer... if stack another dryer on top, no need to open rubbish chute liao. There's no other space allocated for this (will block windows/ laundry rack etc).
We avoid using dryer function due to electricity costs but I need the dryer function occcasionally, if I do too many loads and run out of laundry rack/ windows to hang . So a 2-in-1 suits me fine. ie. I can't do without dryer but don't need a separate dryer.
Any recs of current models in mkt? My DEAD machine is 5yo model, no longer available and the new model replacing it is more expensive at freaking $1.4K. Too expensive .

Mossie repellent: try the One-der brand from Kiddy Palace. They sell the mossie patch there.
If u want, I hv many extra tubes of One-der Children anti mosquito Cream (not patch). If u happen to swing by my place, just pick it up from my maid, FOC lah ... cos i hardly use the Cream, patch is a lot more convenient.

Happymum,
I brought most of my collections from Laser Flair. The Wheels on the Bus (by Robert Daltrey et al.) … the music is very catchy and Kelly sings and dance along. The story plot revolves around passengers sitting in a bus (drove by a dragon) and there will be a few alighting points during the show, i.e., at an aquarium, zoo, gas station and etc whereby the children will be exposed to the types of fishes living in the aquarium, foods in the grocery markets and etc… It also advocates healthy moral values such as sharing, no procrastination, helping friends and etc.
Gogo English (I hate this!) is a good collection whereby it reinforces English language … i.e., it teaches basic English … Kelly picks up a lots of descriptive terms from this series, i.e, big versus small, a versus many, tall/long versus short, has/have and etc. Her sentences are getting longer … her longest sentence is like 12 words per sentence, as recorded by her school. She shocked me that day when she was reading one of the storybooks on Dora by saying, Boots has looong tails. Actually, watching VCDs got pro and cons … she also picked up many of the jargons from Dora, i.e, yea (instead of yes), thanks (instead of thank you) and etc… so have been constantly correcting her.

okipoki,
We booked with CTC. Suppose to go during strawberries and cherry season but clash with our schedule hence, have to go during apple season. A pity though cos my boy loves strawberries and cherries.
Ya. After promos and discount, we are paying abt 2.5k and D abt 2K.
So any photos ??
Which agency u book with?

Thanks, there’s a laser flair near my home, will go check it out.
Sunflower/poohy/toto,

happymum,
ya its definitely Little Einstein. Highly recommends it. They introduce concept like adagio, moderato, allegro, presto, crescendo, etc. Famous music from mozart, bach, beethoven, johann strauss etc Famous places like the great wall of china, leaning tower of pisa, pyramid, sphinx, grand canyon, danude river etc. and much more. Oh and musical instruments... really very musical.

poohy,
thanks! The cover of the DVD looks very cartoon, and the name don't seem to suggest they introduce such things, so I'm not sure if I'm looking at the right DVDs.
Do you mind helping me to check the title of the DVDs that introuduce famous places? maybe I will buy that to let Xin En watch and try if she likes it. Thanks alot! Btw, has J started on her OT?

happymum,
actually every episode, there is a theme famous piece by a famous composer, a famous painting involved, a few musical concept, a few musical instruments and definitely famous place of interest. All episodes are like dat... I had watched more than 20-30 episode liao i think. all like dat
We brought J for OT at kaleidoscope yesterday. Funny thing is, she had improved quite a fair bit over the last 1-2 weeks. When I told the OT abt the eye contact and she does not respond to name being called. At the session, she did and more than once. And even played with the OT. And she is even speaking 2-3 words short sentences recently though its really occasional. We went through a long checklist and cant find much to suggest a specific area where there is a sensory issues leh according to the OT. She did taught us some ways to calm her down which we need to try this week when she throws her tantrum. Now I dunno whether to continue with OT or not cos looks like she got good eye contact from yesterday's session and she definitely responded a few times when the OT called her. Funny. I am now wondering whether I shd just follow up a few times and see how.... and maybe wait till the assessment by Hands-in-hands in 6 months to confirm.
Recently we started the flashcard session with her again where we asked her each card, "What's this?" she is very happy to answer us. And if she dunno the answer, she will try to repeat after us. I think maybe helping her talk more through this method does help.

Poohy,
there's so many episodes? only see 7 titles on amazon web.
Glad that J has shown improvement! Isn't the OT also supposed to observe J and suggest areas of sensory issues? Did she do that and is she able to find other particular areas of sensory issues? If she also can't, maybe you sld go back to the educational psychologist and feedback this, ask why J is assessed to be SID when OT can't detect any areas of sensory issues.
I will think that if it is possible for you, do try to continue her OT sessions, will benefit her thou will burn a hole in yr wallet...

thanks... hope she really improve for good.. cos at times she may regress or stagnant.
happymum,
there's a lot of episodes. But not all are produced into DVD for sale. They screened it on their tv over at usa. I watches the other episodes on playhouse disney channel.
the OT did observe her. but I think from her observation also not much conclusive findings. We were a little surprised at the improvement she displayed during the assessment ourselves. And during the psychologist session, she was simply focus on a small corner of the room. But this time in the OT's room, she actually roamed around to explore everything. That is age appropriate leh. At the playground on Monday, she was chasing and following 2 other children (whom we dunno) around. I take it as a positive improvement that she is showing interest in playing with her peers already.

Happy to hear about J’s improvements… jia you jia you!
Sunflower,
Kell will graduated from LV’s kindy too unless something went horribly wrong with the management of the school. I’m quite impressed with the credentials of their language teachers for their kindy classes and the creativity of their curriculums. Also, I am very happy with their efforts in building up a portfolio of each and every child … think this portfolio is going to come in handy in her P1 registration.
Dal,
Their second class starts today!!
