Dsii, thanks for the coordination. Try to let us know early, coz we need to book the pit early.
Misaryeo,
wah, in that case, E is gonna eat sandwich every lunch??
Re pregnancy - I can't wait to deliver liao ... when is Nov coming ?????!!!!!! I am feeling breathless daily ...
Lucida,
My little Campus and Joy Montessori in Sembawang are not bad but the latter all filled. You can also try calling Eager Beaver in Yishun Safra. Heard that it is very good too.

*hi 5* my ger oso sings that 'thank you' song b4 meals...but think the song is too long so she only sings the last sentence "thank you God for everything, thank you! Can we start? Yes!" Most of the time, she can't wait to start eating so singing the whole song probably is a waste of time to her hahah

lala, no lah.. not going to prep sandwich for him everyday, will think of some other stuff like salad (potato+fruits+ham/egg/pasta), french toast, pancakes...etc for him. If not so sian right. I'll start with sandwich though, cos that's the easiest to eat and prob will add some fruits like apple/banana/grapes.. etc together with some snacks. Once he is more li hai with self feeding (as he can create quite a mess if he is left alone to eat), then I'll think of more creative stuff for him.
I realise here the angmos always eat sandwich for lunch one lor... or kids will get macoroni and cheese for lunch. most of them tabao from home even when they work or go college/high school.
haaha i can't wait too.. I hope I'll deliver in oct lor! but i also know once meimei is out, things can be worse then now...
wo heng ke lian!!!!
ep, actually i realise at this age is really abt learning social skills and interaction. it's abt learning as well, but the emphasis is not so on it. I feel its more about stimulating our child with different things each day. but must send him there only if u and him is ready lah...
Pm, I also scared he'll get sick very easily.
Then in the end, instead of getting some help from the school, I am actually finding more prob for myself.

Hi Cheri, Your ger is 2 years old too? Wow.. My son yujie still baby talk, can only manage 2 sentence word.
Btw, anyone heard of littlewonder montessori at Woodlands?
Actually i'm torn between sending yujie to a school near to my MIL or send him to a better (in my perception) school but I will have to do the bringing him and fetching him job. I dun mind the latter but I need go get a car.. My other concern is that yujie will have to stay in the school until i go fetch him too.. I'm concern that it will be stressful for him...
What will you do?
Or just put at the school near my MIL, anyway just half day so mainly just for him to mingle around.. dun think he will learn much there

Lucida - Any other schs that are near yr MIL that she can help u fetch but standard better that the one u mentioned? Our kids are learning to talk now.. so they will pick up language thru listening n communicating to their peers and caregiver, that is also part of mingleing.
How abt the option of sch bus?
MY - Do the children there fall sick all the time. Becoz u know in SG, kids always gena cough and flu, full of phelgm kind and we always say its the weather+heaty. Since US and SG weather different, mayb they dont get this ailment all the time?
Or maybe wont be that bad coz yr hrs are shorter right? E stays in sch for abt 9-10hrs a day.

PM, There's another playgroup, have to check it up but from the principal seems that they already have 16 kids but add one more is ok.. so i'm not so sure..
Yujie is down with flu and fever. Pass to me. Felt like tonsillitis as I feel throat very very uncomfortable. Imagine what he might be feeling now.. And he was in the CC for only half day for 4 or 5 days only.. So if I'm to send him in for full day in another new environemnt, really not sure what will happen..
So E is ok even if stay school for so long?

PM, same de lor...when the season change, like in spring, flowers started blooming, becos of the pollen we can get allergies very easily lor. they tend to have cold, running nose, itchy eyes... and its very common to see kids like. I hope E will be strong to go thru all these... If not i expect hubby to say things like, " U see, told u dun send him to school.." that kinda stuff.

my ger is slightly older than most tots here...she was born in end May. Dun worry, once they start talking, u will see the improvement v quickly. My ger wasn't too fast in lang either but speaking well to her all these while helps cos i can see her assimilating the grammar & lang structure v effortlessly now. She was stuck wif one word speech for many mths but once she started wif 2-word sent, it quickly became 3 & beyond. Look forward to it!
my
i really agree wif u that at this age, wat they learn most is social interaction. Honestly as an sahm & former teacher, a lot of the things that she can learn in sch, i feel i can oso teach at home eg. phonic sounds, counting, fine motor skills, simple art & craft etc. But the only thing i can't simulate at home on a regular basis is the social interaction wif her peers & the independence she acquires since we r not ard her. Kinda forces her to learn to interact wif others to get her own needs met in sch. Hee a bit like u wan the biscuit/toy etc, u hv to learn to ask from ur teacher/fren..mummy not there to help u

Lucida,
I called Eager Beaver, they said they have place for full day CC for coming Dec and Jan 09. Seems like they dun have half day CC.
I agree with Misaryeo, I will choose a not too lousy school near MIL pl, I cannot imagine having to work and worry about kid at the same time.
Msiaryeo,
Think start off with sandwich is good, then see what other parents pack for their kids loh. My EDD is end Nov, I hope to deliver in mid Nov... Yeah, now we complain tired, by the time no. 2 is out, more tired liao .... more so for you coz after confinement, u are going to be on your own * Pat pat* ...

Hi mummies, Thanks for the feedback and advice.. I will let him trial little wonders first. Actually just now i went over to have a look and it seems that that area have dengue reported.. Quite worried...
I will go Eager Beaver later to sign up and put yujie on waiting list than.. Eager Beaver is so much more convenient just that I still have to put him on bus as it's still a 15 mins walk from my MIL place.. not good to over stress her also.. what if it rains and all that..

Misaryeo,
Will be good to come up to complain ... but I am also like you, wondering by then, can find time bo ... maybe take whatever time available to catch up with sleep.
Lucida,
When you go Eager Beaver later, dun bring Y along coz they have 2 cases of HFMD reported this week.
