toto,
Talk about shadows... A loves exploring his shadow now. hahaha... very fun to see him touching and chasing his shadow.
I put my rigby books behind a row of books. kekeke... cos I running out of shelves for his books! Even got books in bags. I keep buying, hoping him to love books.
Very tiring to keep bringing A to potty
I dun let him wear diapers during the day, but his daddy loves to wear diaper for him. hahaha... If I am more free then will not have accident. If I am busy, then accident every 10-15 minutes.
Paula,
I only started reading after bachelor. hahaha... I used to read "How to win friends and influence pple" by Dale Carnegie when A was a baby. Somehow, I lost that book
Searched high and low, cannot find
Feel like buying one more. Dunno when Borders got sale again... Think I go and buy faster...
Poohy,
When young, my mum bought lots of second hand Enid Blyton, Hardy boys, etc. But I never read even one I only use my pocket money to buy health digest every month.
I bought quite a number of non-fiction books. Every time go to Borders, I am very tempted to buy those travel books with lots of pictures I prefer these books than storybooks.

Re: Bazi Analysis
Met up with Master Tay on Saturday. He is really spot on and the good thing is that we felt at ease with him cos' the entire report is purely made based on our D/TOB without any religious intervention. Original intention was to have Kelly's bazi interepreted but ended up with the whole family being interpreted. And I ended up knowing things about my mum, my grandpa, my inlaws and etc ... so for those who are interested, can go for it. He is really good.

Glad many mummies find the reading article useful. Me also been making an effort to read more instead of watching TV. Last weekend, we almost did not on TV at all. And everyday, we will read to Xin En before her bedtime.
Paula,
I saw the Dora VCDs at Laserflair, there's many titles? any recommendations? which ones do Kelly like best?
Little Einstein
I saw on other forum threads that Borders and Robinsons sell these VCD/DVD. Anyone knows if it's true, or are they referring to baby einstein? Don't want to make a wasted trip to Borders

Happymum,
The one that Kell loves are the ‘Meet Diego’ and the ‘Riddles and Rhythms’ one. There are many many titles in that series…
For Little Einsteins, I got mine from Lasier Flair too… I got her the ‘Celebrations’ dvd… she likes that song from Bach … she enjoys it and have been hmming the tune.

Peng,
For shichida, gotta go with the mentality of development on the whole. Cannot expect to see results fast. I don't see exceptional results now though has been on the program since A was 7 months old. But what I noticed about kids who go Shichida is that they are very observant. A will observe in new environment and new things. Then he picks up very fast. My friends' kids who go Shichida at very young age also behave like A.
A knows many verses of "san zi jing", 1-20 in Eng, 1-10 in Mandarin and Malay, and other things from his flashcards. He understands hokkien also. And I think he knows Japanese too. Even when he speaks, I also dun understand, so I assume he dunno. hahaha... limitation of mommy here This morning, he was listening to his Jap songs and dancing like head and shoulders song. Then there's one Jap CD, he told me it's "fire". I dun understand Jap, so I dunno is it that song is about "fire" or what.
I assume all kids at their age are genius. No need to attend Shichida class also can.
One thing is that I was surprised that my 4yo nephew is only learning 1-20 in his school now. I dunno if this is the norm.
eh... now I feel like a mountain tortoise. I am in A's world. Shopping centers change already also dunno. Where got sales also not sure...
You thinking of sending for Shichida class? There's another center called "Trio" in Bugis. Trial at 3 lessons for $100. What I will say is that it will take a while for kids to adapt. This term, A has 2 new classmates. Last term, had 3 new classmates and 2 are completely new to Shichida method. They will take a while to adapt. One term to adapt might not be enough.

thanks, think I saw both "meet diego" and "riddles and rhythms" at the laser flair near my home.
Didn't know Laser flair sells little einstein too! I was only looking out for Dora, didn't take a good look around. Thanks for telling me! I can buy at LF then, no need to specially go elsewhere to buy.

Peng,
Xin En attended the billingual playclub at JG Forum for 2 terms. The lessons are well planned with appropriate materials and resources, and the teachers are good too thou I personally feel they are too detached from students. I think the weekday twice a week playclub (either English or Mandarin) are better than the bilingual playclub. Xin En attended make up lessons on weekdays before, so I was able to make a comparison.
However,I do not like the environment at JG, the attitude of the people there,and their hygiene level control.

paula - how come you did not order Set D? The sets are A B C D, all black and white, 5 sets of the same per box set. The fairy tale readers comes in individual sets as well as 5 sets. It is quite colorful and interesting. J loves it!
muffinmocha, if you want to get the sets, you can join the overseas spree. lots of scholastic books spree.
re SM - think the quality of teachers have dropped tremendously. the school is not really passionate about teaching kids, just out there to make money. i think before long, they will lose their competitive advantage, as SM can be easily replicated.

Haha, I didn't know that there is a Set D. Well, will be placing an order with my bookseller for D as well. Terrible, have spent a lot on her books and Alex toys… it doesn’t help that one of my ex-colleagues is now the appointed distributor and got free delivery up to my door-steps some more!
