Augbaby/Piyo,
I tried to enroll my girl in the BJG trial class but they replied that the weekend classes are all full, they may be considering weekday class, not confirm yet. I told them to put me on waiting list for the next available session which will start in mid-March.

Amy,
Sorry not sure if you have mentioned it before but would like to find out what is the purpose of swinging babies from their hands, does this train them in certain areas? Can share, thanks

[butter8]

thanks kelly and jesline..

hehe sometimes the thread goes pretty fast and when I cant login for a day or so I miss out whats going on

 

[secret_garden]

Hi Kelly,
ya ya! Dun post on potty training soon must charge interest liao! hahaha!

Hi Augbb and Butter8,
It's the link Kelly shared. Megan is in the Little Crawlers group...I just let her join so as to know more about GD program and how to do it.... I may stop after the term ends and see what other classes can enrol her into hehe! I am more looing at gym and physical activities type like what Augbb mentioned... tot of organising trials for our August babies after CNY before signing up 1 term for any that we are interested in... still looking....

Augbb, the one in First step is tumble tots... that's the cheapest in town liao about $20+/session. I am thinking of going for trials for tumble tots and some others like, little gym,my gym(but this must be >10mths), gymboree etc..

Hi HoneyB,
ya their classes like quite full.When we 1st sign up, Megan is the 4th baby in the class now we have 6 liao..full class! initially wanna go for the trial but they say will take ages and I dun wanna wait too long and some GD mummies told me it's good to try 1 term, will benefit, no need trial so I just trust them and try it out

Hi Pups,
ya! I told Maryann you recommended me here and she showed me Leon's pics! I saw he can sit up very straight liao! and he looks so cute in the red romper! Btw, his pic is in studioloft link lei, go c!

 

[cheers]

hi augbaby,

though i've yet to steam food for my girl, but for steaming, you can use the rice cooker instead of the wok. dun have to oversee the flame.
i usually pour boiling water frm kettle first, so that my food gets steamed faster.

 

[weddingfairy]

jesline, augbb,
check out e other bb jumper gym at pasir ris. tel no is 65852318

 

[augbaby]

piyo,
if u organise any trial class, pls rem to include me.. ya me more interested in those gym kind where jay can learn to use his hands n legs and hav fun maybe swinging from monkey bars..haha

kelly,
is the jumper gym at pasir ris offer those gym type activities?

 

[augbaby]

piyo,
how much did u pay for the PS ah?

 

[jesline81]

Hi, Kelly

is the bumbo seat useful??? thinking of getting one for baby....

 

[honeyb]

Piyo,
Yes, I'm thinking to just sign Hannah up for 1-term and see if she likes it. She kind of enjoys it when we bring her to the massage session at Babies&Cream but more like to look at other babies than what's happening to her...haa

 

[honeyb]

Hi mummies,

Anyone bought the Thermo food jar already?? Me kiasu, thinking of sourcing around since there are quite a bit of sales going on. Is the Tiger one better or Zojirushi, any other good brands around that can keep porridge warm?

 

[secret_garden]

Hi Augbb,
ya will sure inform you if I organising any... I looking at Aquaducks and some trial classes for gym activities but all after CNY...

I went for 2. One at Foto u. This is family portrait 2 hours $350, 2 hrs include album and all soft copies returned. I plan to do that for her 1yr photo album. David is the photographer. As megan is cranky that day plus she cant do much movements, Davis allowed us to go back again for another hot foc when she is >9mths

The other is the $38 CNY theme promo by Studioloft, 10 mins all soft copies returned. See this link here:
http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/450761/586645.html?1170919529

Pups,
how many photos did Leon take during the 10mins?

Hi HoneyB,
same with megan! sometimes during the flashing, she enjoys staring at other babies than the cards. The trainer got to call her back to her! haha!
I heard the Zojirushi is good but ex! any idea how much? me planning to get also...

 

[erin00]

hi babyboy,
i collect the swim diapers from u on sun ok? thanks.

hi kelly,
can collect the baby can read vcds from u that day? thanks.

hi augbaby,
i'm interested in the photoshoot too but intending to wait till Kayden's one year old. think can do more poses then. will most prob be booking a slot with foto u.

 

[leia]

augbaby,

Can you help me burn 1 copy too? Can bring on the 11 Feb gathering, pls? Do lemme know how much the dvd cost. Tq!!

cocomo,

If you've burn for me already, I still want. Cos I need to give 1 copy to my mom. Lemme know the cost of the dvd too.

 

[honeyb]

Piyo,
Not sure, let me go look see..

Hey the studio loft shoot, does Maryann or Candidas touch up the pictures first before returning you the softcopy for the CNY promo? I went to them when I was 35 weeks pregnant and I think they couldn't cope with the demands, only got back my pictures when Hannah turns 2 months old, by then nobody wants to look at my pictures already ...ha ha..all more interested to look at baby's photos...

 

[secret_garden]

Hi Leia,
you so tum xin! haha!but cocomo I also wan! haha!

Hi Erin,
I think better to wait for our babies to be older.. I went to foto u and baby not so keen altho we still take a lot of shots but baby can't take the flashes for too long.. seemed to zap their energy away...

Hi mummies,
Testing hor.. i trying to shrink the pics..This is taken at foto u:

 

[leia]

pups,

Swim diapers is fine. Only thermal suit keeps one warm. Think about it, does your swim suit keep you warm inside the water? No way!

I honestly don't think there's a difference in terms of warmth when I step out of the pool with a swimsuit or without a swimsuit (have never done that but I don't think I need to prove anything ). In any case, I think I'll feel colder with a swimsuit on when I step out of the pool and attempt to towel myself dry. Cos the wet swimsuit will be clinging on my body whereas if I'm not wearing anything, I can towel myself dry easier.

The only reason why babies shld wear a swimsuit (instead of just trunks/bikinis) is to cover up most parts of the body and protect it from the UV rays. Then again, if you have applied sunblock on your baby (according to instructions), there shld be no real need to cover up.

Make sense or not?

 

[secret_garden]

Hi Honeyb,
no touch up.. she returned us very fast, saved in CD on the spot returned to us lei...

 

[augbaby]

piyo,
wow..megan look so nice in jeans..did they tell u to come in matching outfits? hee hee..

Leia,
sure i dun mind burning an extra copy for u..hee hee..but hor i am not able to go for the swim fest leh...so how? u wanna meet me some place or how?

 

[leia]

augbaby,

My colleague told me yes'day that she watched the baby program and she recognised your HB. Say he's her HB's army friend.

piyo,

You like that say, I so paiseh gonna dig a hole and hide my face already! HAHAHAHAHA!

Leia/kelly,
I already burn the DVD and will pass to Pups so that you can get it on Sunday. No need to pay me la, not much. Any mummies want?

Jesline,
Will send the DVD to you tomolo, if no able to then after I back from oversea ok? Or you wanna collect from any mummy who go to Leia's plc then I can pass to Pups also?

Piyo,
Thanks for your advise, think I will get the cards from Lawrence. Will call him most likely tomolo. These few days super bz.

 

[leia]

Otah sounds good. Should taste fine when cold. Else bak kwa is fine too.

cocomo,

Oh dear, you're flying again? You're gonna come back in time for CNY? So sad you can't come on Sunday... *sigh*

Thanks much for the DVD.
