PLAB airbase. I went once but I think the road there have changed alot. Dun know if u able to find a car park there. I will take a bus there from Eunos MRT/Interchange. When r u going? For me either Sat evening or Sunday morning.
MT,
total household income, flat owned etc to determine? That is why not all SAHMs shld get the help. There are families who really cant get help, no $$ to send kids to CC.
I am going on 05 Sept, 2:30pm with my sister n nephew. 5 of us so I bot the big family package. Much cheaper as well.

Act 3 hmm ok must test memory cos its like last term thing liao...
every week there is a theme...then sing song and express yourself based on the songs then if the week's theme is on colors they will hv various items in the room with the color and kids have to open up to say what color is the item that the teacher describe and go look for that item within the room. Then they will do some art work related to the theme. Nothing to do with speech and drama but i guess its like teaching them to slowly open up and speak so its a very basic class but for the price of the class i think its ok lor...

Hong - hsehold income/flat type.
tat's covered under low income gp already.
tat's why i say if SAHM due to $$, go get watever grant u can get hold of.
But sometimes it's a vicious cycle... if "fa fen tu qiang" to go get a job, more time spend working while getting a small pay. then better off not working n get grant
Then stay at home, keep on giving birth (end up big big family)... then again end up no money/time to educate them properly and the next generation still cant get out of the "low income status".
middle income pple are the worst lot....
Rich only get richer.
Rainbow fish - ya, i also combine with fren to get tickets. but not taking leave for it.. go on sat.
PLAB - Hubby agree to go liao! hehe most likely sunday.

Amanda,
What's the difference between Shishida and Little Neutro Tree? I am tempted to sign C up but have to get my hb's approval .... hahaha
Eeyore,
Difficult to talk also coz parents are also busy
Charlene seems to blend into the class rather well. No, don't intend to continue after this term coz seems like quite routine liao. Am thinking of getting Charisse to learn something else.

Where got..Now Kay is currently only attending daily playgroup. Then I intend to send Kay to PAP nursery in future which is much much cheaper than current playgroup. So can afford to send to other enrichment classes lor.
Mezzo,
Oh..then mayb it'll b more suitable after our child turns 3yrs old hor...
MT,
Hmm..mayb not in terms of monetary gratification. But more on recognition for the SAHMs. I discover middle income & SAHMs are always the neglected lot.

MY,
thanks! actually the last few days has been quite relaxed for me...and I managed to rest more and even come online here.
coz K is with my parents and they are doing the hard work of caring for him while he is down with HFMD. Thankfully my mum is on leave this week supposedly for my confinement but took over caring for K instead, else I really dunno how/where to quarantine him.
You shld try to sleep and rest as much as you can now.

Mummies,
Wanna ask u all how much does ur child slp/nap each day?
Kay has been napping lesser & lesser. Anytime from 45mins to 1hr max. Occasionally, she'll nap for 1.5hrs. Seldom 2hrs. At 1st, I thought it's due to lack of activities so I let Kay go back to playgrp. But she's still not tired & refuses to nap EVERYDAY. Will dilly dally for 1hr+ in her bed until she falls asleep.
Her normal bedtime is around 830pm - 9pm. Again, she'll dilly dally until sometimes 10pm.
How?

How?
YB, now our kiddo shld sleep abt 12-14hrs in all. E sleeps abt 9-10 hrs at night, n nap 2-3hrs once in the day. so if u add up Kay's total sleep hrs, u can roughly gauge if she needs more nap or not. I also heard some toddlers will soon give up their nap. i really cross my fingers on that.
yb
ian will nap 1.5-2hrs per day...one nap nia...i dun let him dilly dally..i will observe him lah..he dun hv a fix time to nap/sleep..but usually ard the range...i will make him nap/sleep when he is tired.norm he will doze off with 20mins...me lazy..dun wna to pat him tooo long..hahhaa

misaryeo,dsii,
Hmm..Kay slps abt 11 hrs daily leh..less then the norm range. The thing is, Kay doesn't look sleepy/tired AT ALL. So I've resorted to getting her nap/slp at fixed timing everyday. But still, sometimes she can slp straight away even though she fuss abt slping but sometimes will also dilly dally.
UNLESS, I bring Kay out for vigorous activities like swimming, hiking or sand playing..then she'll be dead to the world irregardless wherther I move/clean/change her..she'll still not wake up. Sigh..but where got so much activities for her to do eveyday?
Also, I refuses to pat Kay to slp. I'll stand/sit by her doorway to make sure she doesn't stand/sit up in her cot to play.

YB,
My ger sleeps max 10 hours on most days. sometimes 9 hours even. As long as Kay is happy, healthy, you should not be unduly worried over it.

Mt,
Cos if I dun force Kay to slp at specific timing, Kay will not want to slp at all! She can endure until night time without any nap if I dun force her too. But she'll b super cranky then.

YB,
think for Nap no pt forcing kay to sleep if she dnt want to sleep. If she misses her nap at most put her to bed earlier at nite. Now Ashley smtimes dnt nap v long at childcare also but at nite i make it a point to make her sleep earlier like 8.30pm so her total hours of sleep is still ard 10 to 11hrs.

Morning,
Amanda,
Sorry I am going to disappoint u. I cant attend the swimming gathering on 31 Aug. I forgotten I have a wedding dinner to attend. Haizzz...
Napping - both kids still nap. Jan can nap from 1:30pm to 5pm! May due to her Nursery n bus journey home. It makes her very tired. However, she will have problem sleeping early at nite. We have asked MIL to wake her up but MIL said she will refuse or fall back to sleep again.
But if she goes out with me and we passed her nap time then I wun let her nap anymore. Will let her sleep early at nite at the meantime will not tired to agitate her so she wun agitate me. hahaha
Surprisingly Julian nap longer when he grows older. He can nap as long as Janelle and still sleep ard 10pm.

Hi Mummies,
Just when I just answered YB's qn abt our toddler's sleep yesterday.. today Elliot didn't nap the whole day. Put him in the cot from 2-5pm.. refuse to sleep and play thru out. I fell asleep lor. Haizz.. I think cannot say such things... even type also cannot.. he so pantang one! However i calculated his last night sleep which was abt 12hrs.. meet his quota liao.. so prob that;s why he cannot nap.
But I put him to bed early just now... cos I expect him to be tired and he fell asleep within 15mins.. amazing..

ok ok...maybe I hint hint...so won;t get jinxed.
Arin hoh does not stay awake throughput the day...the periods where she is not so awake tend to be after lunch, maybe some where around the chinese drama serials time on channel 8, so that my mom can watch instead of looking after her the whole day.
ha ha...clear enough
