Tinklebell, Amy, Wen,
Hope ur babies are recovering well
Think during this period really gotta be careful.. and if possible bring bb for jabs like pneumococcal. My bb can be considered unlucky cos jus 1 week before his second pneumococcal he kena pneumonia... else maybe can be prevented.
Carebear, Michele,
hee we oso suspect our bb might be left-handed cos daddy oso leftie... and daddy seems so proud cos he always say leftie more creative, smart etc *roll eyes*

wen, me too running of cards to show. i show the same 300 odd cards everyday. think for SM, can repeat materials - cos in PEC - speaker mentioned repetition is encouraged. these cards are retired cards from GD pic cards.
for LM - think at our bb's age, very hard to ask her to pick from all 5 cards what is house. i will give bb jake two cards, as him to pick house. the most i repeat the 'picking' process 3 times. cos in class, only pick once.
mic - bb jake's vomitting dunno whether related to this flu incident, cos he has been vomitting once a day for the past 2 months. only this weekend with flu and phlegm, his vomitting increased to 6 times a day on Sat, and Sun am fever and flu, so saw dr on Sunday. now he has phlegm and flu still, but is in recovery mode lo.
on Sun - he went on milk strike, whole day din want milk, at 3 pm - he signed milk, i was so happy, gave him his milk, and he drank all. but i have decreased the feed from 200 ml to 120 - 150 ml.

bb jake so clever. what's the sign for milk? good thing he can communicate, poor boy...my boy bf, how to teach milk sign. when he want he put his head to my chest searching already, no time for sign. i create and teach my own sign for dog, both hands on the head to mimick dog ear, end up now he bang his head with hand.took a while for us to realise, he's probably trying to do dog sign cause can't control hand to stay at head, so hit head instead
michele and kite,
i also hope my boy not suffering from any damage was in walker from 5.5 months up, but think should be ok lah i told mil that time dont put too long. next time when i'm SAHM for subsequent kids i can do my own way
michele,
how's yr online business, open shop yet? what you selling? how's your maid, remember last time you were left without one.

amy,
We taught Gabby the twinkle, twinkle song and finger play...I didn't realise that it is similar to 'milk' sigh. Ends up nowadays have to guess if she is asking for milk or doing the song sign...oh..she uses it when she sees blinking or bright lights too...very confusing for mommy..lol.

The PD it cld be prevented if bb is vaccinated with Prevnar (can refer to the link provided by i_panda77). rgdg leftie... hehe we're oso not sure.. we jus think there might be a possibility cos he tends to use his left hand to grab things etc.

i also put Fiona on walker once in a while.... it's her favourite sports chasing after Aaron in her walker.... v cute to see them at play
maybe should video tape that down one day
Heard it can slow down walking but i know of several pp who dont use walker their kids still cannot walk at 15mths... so quite puzzling too.
u can apply for 3 day week since it's common in civil service
actually some pp in my co work 3 day week but they r v high level pp... so far none my level does that
kite,
did u bring Chloe for flu jab the other time?

kiki,
its different. but for young babies, their motor skills not very good yet. end up they may do the same or similar action for both twinkle star and milk. As both also involve opening and closing of fingers.

wen - yes, gotta be careful when intro twinkle star sign. i only intro twinkle star recently, after he has established milk sign. hee hee... these few days, caught him doing ET phone home sign... pointing.... realised my helper taught him something like ET phone home in her own language... ha ha...
carebear,
same here... joelle also supposed to be a mid june baby though she was borned on 22 May. Same as Mathius, she was borned on the 37th week. Both my children are borned on 37w1d.
wen,
hope bb is doing fine now... and fever under control. Its so distressing to see them suffer
amy,
Queue at A&E will auto jump and place u on first priority if your bb go in with vv high temperature like 39.8 kind. There is a red room and they will attend to you first.
wen,
for SM, I dun do much also. I got 2 children of diverse needs so my aim is always to stabilise and regularise the home practise rather than try to cover a lot of thing ... too ambitious... normally cant maintain
J do 200-300 pic flashcards a day, 10 regular english words, 10 regular chinese words... but i will add in 30 english words at times that coincide with the pictures that I show for variety. She also sees 12 new san zi jing characters plus 4 3-word couplets of the previous szj phrase. At times she sees more than that cos she sits beside me when I give Samuel his share also. I used to do speed reading but these days not much time left... always get to office late... so I am waiting till my office shift nearer to home in may before launching more things in daily practise. Oh btw, she is on 65 days maths programme... multiplication now. I do photo memory with her.. 1 pair of pic a day.
Samuel does more things other than flashcards. At J's age, I think flashcards (especially when she sees quite a fair bit a day) is pretty good. Samuel does more matching game, sorting, finger training, puzzles. Not so much as a formalised home practise session... but we do it regularly a few time each week.... other days, we will do drawing and colouring, letting him practise drawing and holding the pen/pencil/marker properly.
start with matching for linking memory. Show her 3-6 cards... then get her to choose the matching card u show.
I use those Lotto cards for this purpose.... Samuel can recognise almost all the images i show just once.
J is watching the GD pic dictionary too... i show her 3 topics in japanese daily, then we will go to the english section and see all the topics in english. I change CD every 3-5 days.
I dun do ESP ... but if u want, get 2 cards... 1 with image, the other blank. Eg. its a pic of a swimming pool... just get bb to feel the coolness of the card and sense which one contains the image of the swimming pool... something like dat. Another way is to send a telepathic message to bb of which card u r thinking... then get her to choose from 2 cards. Sounds like guessing game kind
btw, if u show cards using powerpoint like me hor... u can create custom slide show. Its vv easy for showing equations. I do my 65 days maths programme on it.
yup, no cards when she is sick..
Me too... and when I am sick too haha...

did u asked me abt leapfrog dvd? I got the 4 dvd... I only show Samuel and Joelle the Letter factory. So far, samuel knows all the 26 letters phonetic sounds. J is still too young to tell me she knows all the sounds yet haha
I had not show them the word factory cos I want them to be v good in their letters sounds first before moving on. Once they are good versed in the phonics , I will start them on chinese han yu pin ying few months down the road. Good to start young too.
the DVD are cartoon based, there is no real life characters at all. Not like brainybb.

K Ong, I have it personlized from www.smartcard.com.sg. They produced personalized ezlink cards too.

Thanks for taking the time to explain and share, much appreciated!
Can anyone tell me
- what's duration of each normal flashcard, where u normally buy them,
- what are LOTTO cards (I've never heard),
- where you buy the Linking Memory and Photo Memory cards (DIY?),
- what kind of setting your bb is in when you flash (I've been trying to ambush Irv while he's at playarea with limited success),
- how long you spend in these exercises daily? Are these exercises on top of the 30min homework from Shichida class?
Poohy
glad u shared how you balanced different needs of your kids, very relevant to me. And u use ppt, hehe, my girl seems to favour ppt than printed card- I should try to put the GD 65-day math in ppt.

youtube doesn't need membership to view, maybe it was an error.

thanks for compliment on my daughter... I miss her baby days *sigh*. 1st-born has special place in my heart, though I love my Irv just as much!
Here's hoping to speedy recovery for Jake!
Tinklebell
Kudos to u for tbf
. Ur gal might be exposed to ur elder's bugs (even if he's fine, he may have stronger immunity due to age/ prior exposure)- she's probably recovering faster due to ur BM .
Of course, speediest recoveries for all ill bbs and their mums!

you gotta pump and dump at the rate and interval like you're feeding to keep up ms, even in the airplane. a lot of effort to find a suitable place, plan the timing into your itinerary but its possible cause i have done it
you can supplement a feed a day with fm so can stretch your EBM stock to last 7 days... yr baby tried FM yet? who you're leaving your baby with? at last hour when i have to leave baby for airport i always heartache cause leave him behind.

At playarea, my boy is too distracted by his toys to want to do any flashcards. So I realised must be somewhere without distraction or toys.

forgot to reply u... the I can read series is good! I have the series.. its actually a reader series. Samuel loves it ... but I just shown him Level 1 only.... he is so destructive.. already torn one of the book's title page liao...
pawprint,
try to dedicate a place where u do home practise... not in the play area hopefully... unless of course if the play area is pretty cluter free and no toys lying around to distract
Joelle does her session with me every morning at the study room. She will sit in front of the desk with me on her high chair. Samuel sits on my lap. If its powerpoint, we turn to the computer, if its physical flashcards, I just grab a stack and flash
There is no toys around... cos its my study room mah. She also cant crawl anywhere else cos in high chair... anyway I dun really have problem with her attention cos she does focus and enjoys the flashcards so much.
Samuel is a greater challenge
I buy my cards from a variety of different places... 2nd hand GD sets, bulk purchases, self DIY.
Linking memory, DIY. But I normally use those lotto cards where they have 2 identical cards of each picture. Play matching game also.
Photo memory, u can either get images of clipart and use photoshop to change here and there to create a pair OR buy the Chao Bu Tong set of books (but that is just limited to those set)... best is DIY. For A, u can do more of those arranging the order of the 3 object kind
For morning flashcard session, I spend abt 15-30 min for both children. Cant have any more time cos rushing to work... next time prob will spend longer when my office move. At night, I play matching, sorting , puzzle games with Samuel till he wanna sleep.
ppt is great too... I use a lot of those.... whatever that is conducive to your child. Some prefer physical, some ppt... most important is to get the bonding and the input and enjoy what we do together.
fully agreed with u that first child has that special place... dunno how to put it... I miss Samuel's baby days too... I always look back at his photos and wish I had took another photo, another shot of video more...
