sunflower,
only weekend playclub is billingual... it caters to working parents I guess. Weekday playclub are either english or maindarin... or can sign up for both.
Are you signing up X for playnest? J can only start her playclub in jan 08 leh
So sad... I cant seems to find a good solution to sending her to playnest and yet S is taken care of...
I like to stay around in forums too.. can walk around .. I love to go ELC. Next term onwards, we will prob spend much more time there... cos S will start his english edudrama at 9am and then 11:30pm is his playclub. Subsequent term, hopefully J's playclub will coincide with his and so we can just go at one time. Plus I am putting S to the MAC music school for baby music appreciation follow by suzuki violin... so it will be a long day in forums liao.. lucky got all my favourite shops around haha

Mum2B,
Hi, you are back! Hope bb Felicia ok now. How was your trip?
Serene, Poohy,
Re doctor...hmm..there is this one at Mt E. that Gabby seen before. She was 3 months old. He called her pang niu (fat girl). And when she cried, he said repeatedly in a very impatient manner; enough, enough!. No more visit to him.
Poohy,
Can let me access your blog?
Chicken pox
Read this for more info.
http://www.cyh.com/HealthTopics/HealthTopicDetails.aspx?p=114&np=303&id=1853
This info is interesting for me: - that is one of the reasons I am considering whether to let Gabby getting the jab:
Shingles (Herpes Zoster) occurs when the chickenpox virus which stayed in nerve cells after a chickenpox infection becomes active again. Shingles is not a new infection, it is a new outbreak of the old infection. Shingles only happens in people who have already had chickenpox.
Lamb,
Swim diapers wont expand in the water, unlike normal disposable diapers. That is why suitable for swimming. I got Huggies disposable swim diapers for Gabby.
Lyn,
I have to cut short flash cards time after coming back from trip. Gabby is exploring more furiously now. So, less sitting still time. Tried to grab my cards too.

sunflower,
how do u manage to bring X for his playnest? u quit your job ah? I wanted to bring J to playnest so much that maybe I will make my hb take half day leaves to bring her 4th term... can only afford to do that for one term hehee
Originally I wanted my mum to bring J while S stay at my aunt's house in the same block for 2 hours .... but I am worried S will cry if he see all of us leaving him behind.
hmm ya quite a fair bit of classes for S. I am starting english edudrama in the 4th term this year. For the music appreciation, shd start this coming term once I decided whether he shd start with music appreciation or go straight to suzuki violin. I am also undecided between mandeville and mac music school... so still thinking. The mandeville suzuki violin needs parents to go for interview... so I had to find time to do that too...
Eventually sometime next year, his playclub will graduate so he will only be left with english and maindarin edudrama in the JG.. not so taxing. More taxing for me cos I need to accompany 2 kids to most of their classes.
serene,
ya jg. there is none for weekends.... only playclub is on weekend and that starts at 18mth. Alternatively u can go to GUG for the time being
They have the parents and babe class on weekends.

when he heard the hen and chicks 'start talking' he cried! and clung on to me.. oic...
for messy class, they said either bring extra change, or best is use an old shirt to put over or buy those art apron though some kids won't like.

Lamb,
Ok leh. Just like normal pull-up diapers but lighter. Then throw away after use. I use them coz seldom go swimming. Don't mind if not reusable.
Poohy
^5! I also dislike going to zoo....I quite like outdoor but only if it is like spring time in cooler climate. Here is just toooo warm and I am allegic to sunblock. So always try to get to zoo by 9am then leave around 11am..hehe..

serene,
evan got aircon just tat not very strong, so may feel a little warm. but also good cos they go outdoor for play, not too good if very cold then sudden switch to very hot.
poohy,
wow.. amazing! S enjoys his class
next time can ask you for advise on classes liao.
serene,
they will start with free play - about 25 mins, clean up, then welcome song, intro puppet of the week, story book time, activity of the day, snack time, outdoor play, music time, bubbles & good-bye song. Can't remember the duration for each. from outdoor to goodbye is 30mins. so story to snack should be 30mins.

wen, poohy, serene... ha ha... me too.. hit the zoo by 9am, gone by 11am. i hate outdoors and i am allergic to grass and greenery, esp in such humid and warm weather. if the climate is cooler, maybe it's still bearable.
however, i really hope J will not turn out like me. seemed like he is a very clean and squeak boy... he hated the sand, din like dirty stuff on his fingers... hmmm.....

dun worry, as long as u continually expose J, he should outgrown his initial dislike soon. S used to hate having anything to do with paint... when I brought him to JG and GUG for trial, he cried and resist when I tried to put his hands on the paint or make him hold anything like branch, leaves etc... we continue to expose him (also trying to overcome my own fear for the mess) and now he is happily doing all those art n craft etc.

Poohy,
Wah... I am interested in the Suzuki method. Where is it? Do they have a website? How much are the lessons?
Where is Mandeville?
Today I got an accomplishment. Finally got down to create the musical notes in treble and bass clef for flashcards in powerpoint.
Wen,
A just climbed up the TV console and played with the flashcards. Gotta re-arrange again... Nowadays very busy with his exploration.
poohy,
Lately I have been pondering of the possibilities of going to UK to work for a few years just for the sake of A. Lots of cooling outdoor activities anytime, plus knock off work on the dot to go home and have family time. hahaha... Crazy me... Plus my friend who's staying in Cambridge now came and tempt me to go so that her gal will have company... hahaha...
sunflower,
Is it something like the holiday program?
toto,
Your house is very clean and squeak. Maybe you will faint when you come to my home. kekeke...
Serene,
Swim diapers is very important cos we never know if baby will give a surprise poo, even if it's a short while... kekeke... Later the pool get contaminated with poo... nobody will want to enter a pool with poo rite?

What a big accomplishment! Create musical notes!
I agreed with u, we get v busy, tired with our kids' exploration lately. my boy's fav hobby now is to put things on the coffee table and take to throw on the floor, sit down to pick up, stand and put on the table...the cycle repeats on and on...and walks around the coffee table! last nite, he attempt to climb up the double bed in the guest room but he's not capable of it yet! but judging fr his action, i'm sure very soon he can do it! me got so busy now once i reached home!
hey, aren't uk too cold...throughout the year was cold most of the time rite?
