poohy - ah, remember to PM me your bank acct no. and amt to transfer hor...
yes... 2 Js... both good size and same BD.. ha ha.. yes - next swim class should take pics together.
re 65 days program - did you proceed past day 55 - matching numerals with dots? i am on it now. seemed like this should be after EQ 3 in GD - after mixed operations/multiple equations. Law recommended symbols and numerals together. J stopped at EQ 3 in GD. Now SM - he is doing day 55. you think ok?

poohy,
that means i'm like samuel! i also must close eyes..joelle can stand unsupported already?
recently i notice a pattern. jz has been rejecting his baby cot. usually will fall asleep on our double bed but when carry him to his cot, if he knows we are placing him there, immediately get up and cry, have to quickly carry back to our bed then he will continue sleep soundly. so end up he get to sleep with us most part of the night, of coz hb not so happy cause so squeezy with 2 pillow, 2 bolster, blanket, 1 jz, 1 jz's bolster.

J is not on numerals yet! Still on those multidinuous equations. I had stopped for quite a few days due to disruption on my PC (cannot start up) and some other happenings at home. I am looking forward to introducing numerals to her and Samuel also! Though both of them are slightly exposed to numerals on those brainy bb dvd... but I had never really started them on numerals yet.... keep thinking first 3 years shd consolidate their understanding of quantities... hopefully next week I can reach the numerals part finally...
fi,
me too! Samuel is like me lor... scared of many things... not a risk taker. Joelle is v different from us in this aspect. No... she cant stand unsupported .... gotta support herself by hands on the bathroom walls

poohy - the you tube... when you have time, should take a look. it shows a baby gal, age 1 year old - reading from a doodle pad, and showing the actions of the words read. this is accomplished thru her GD program.
for us - we do GD without sign lang, so how to ask bb to read and show sign lang of the word? also, bb at 1 yr cannot speak yet, so how to read aloud?

toto,
reading aloud is an output function leh....ya I dun think bb is ready to read aloud at this point... Even samuel at 2 years old is only starting to read aloud with me. Samuel knows quite a fair bit of sign languages through the bb signing times... and we sign with him previously. For J, I seldom sign with her... but I do expect her to know her signs too through the dvd since she watches them occasionally.

poohy - ah... when i say the bb gal is 'reading'... i am not referring to reading aloud. she is 'reading' cos she understands the words and is able to reproduce them as signs, given bbs at 1 yr old cannot speak yet. hence, i am wondering whether teaching our bbs the ASL of the GD words will help them in output. then again... it's also early to 'expect' output....

hmmm... Mygym setup is much bigger than TT. Room size at least 4x bigger. They have alot of things. everyweek is different, some activities are repeated. They will change the placing of the equipment every week. Some equipment are brought out on weekly basis, meaning its only brought out for part of the session.
at MG some of the activities are higher level. overall ok cos teacher will guide the kids through all the activities.
I like mygym. are you going for the trial at mygym at woodlands?

me not v good in soliciting output from bb... so far I dun do any problem solving and such thus ... the output if any comes on their own accord when they are more than ready. One of the way some of the GD babies give output is by pointing to the card
If you say a word and give 2 cards, by pointing to the right card is already indicative that bb is reading the word isnt it? I rarely do that though cos I generally concentrate more on inputs in the initial 3 years. Already not much time to cope with 2 babies' input liao.. hehe first 3 years are golden input years ...

poohy, hmm... agree. so far, bb J has been pointing to the correct answer - think he picked this habit from SM. initially, he is not very willing to point, only laugh when i show him 2 cards. now can point and can pick cards from the floor when i ask him a question.
agree first 3 yrs v impt... input input input...
but to be fair - bb J's ability to reproduce the output does amazes and motivates me further...

the very dotted version is "graphic/ arty/ abstract", rather Roy Lichenstein. U printed already, I'm sure it'd look very interesting once u lay it out on the floor, take a big step away to view! I find for this, use any normal paper will do cos it's not dependent on fine resolution. An image with high contrast, or, black and white images, seem to work better for this too.
Most pple prefer the smallest "1 dot" colour resolution... u might want to use slightly better paper but no need to shell out for photo paper unless u like the finish of it. Resolution will not be as sharp as normal photos cos it's been blown up to such a big scale. Careful ur ink cartridge, LOL, very siong $!
The vid u're referring, is it the one with dad using doodle pad? Quite interesting to note the kid can recognise from handwritten words, another mum shared with me she simply took a stack of paper, handwrote single words and flashed GD style... and it worked! Maybe handwriting nice, LOL!
Poohy,
thanks, whatever u can spare will do
. I may be turning up Sat at AD cos my kids need to do makeup classes... been trying to get hold of AD people. I want to check with them whether I can get back-to-back Sat morning classes for both kids. Sunday timing not working out for us.

i am not so sure abt the term also but it shd be in the mth of june/july period. I had not put J in the term yet... placed her in wait list for the same timing as Samuel... gotta wait for good timing... Samuel's timeslot is 10:45am on saturday in hdb hub.
I am also reconsidering whether to continue shichida or JG or etc... cos I am thinking putting Samuel in half day daily programme in Pat's school house.

for the phonics part.. I am not strong in it cos I belong to the generation who dun learn phonics.... J & S picks up their phonics from the Leapfrog and brainy bb dvd. Samuel knows almost all the 26 alphabets sound I think. JG and shichida classes also teaches them phonics...
i think zoo phonics uses animals shaped like the alphabet... I heard that some kids will be confused... meaning they cant recognise the alphabets without the animals leh... read that jolly phonics is better in that aspect. Guess it depends on the child.
pawprint,
ya my hb drive us around. Its not that rush actually. 9am is the swim... 9:30am we bath her... then we go straight to hdb hub which is at most 15-20 min away i think. At times we still can have short breakfast before his class at 10:45am. Last time when J has BJG class at 12:30noon, that is the big rush! Samuel's SM class always end later than 12noon... we always have to rush off immediately to bukit batok for the BJG.... now that no more BJG, my life is more relaxed haha

Poohy, I see. GUG teaches zoo phonics huh? hmm... me too... never learnt phonics. so wonder how I can teach J phonics. SM class not strong in phonics, at least for J's stage. maybe i have to do more research on phonics. there is a phonics trial class as part of early childhood learning, maybe i should sit in... ha ha...
toto,
ya GUG teaches Zoo phonics. JG also teaches phonics. They introduce one alphabet a week
SM is not strong indeed. Can also try zoo phonics classes... they are much cheaper than GUG and teaches the same phonics system.
Joelle is immersed in phonics dvd since she was 4 months old or younger... cos Samuel was learning phonics at that time...I sing phonics songs to her from the letter factory also. I am quite keen to see if it did help her pick up phonics actually since bb learn and picks up faster when they are younger. Me waiting for J to be able to talk and I will know liao haha....

poohy, maybe i should show J leapfrog more often. only seen maybe 3 times? i teach him one alphabet a day, revising again after the sequence is over. i use the leapfrog fridge magnet... as you suggested...
yup... only when they can talk then we'll know... in the meantime, input only.

my girl loves playing with sand, touching them, scratching them and she loves swimming too...but gotta watch her very carefully when she plays with sand as she'll put them into her mouth at times...but i think no good to restrict them from touching as they are curious now and the sense of touch is important to them...someone told me that if they are not exposed to touching or walking on sand from young, they may dislike it later
