Piyo.
Regarding Montessori, Normally other childcare is only half montessori, unlike MMI. I discourage MMI cos their childcares are training centre for their teacher. You will encounter different teacher every now and then. Furthermore at their sengkang branch (received feedback from other mummies) that they hardly/seldom use their outdoor facilities.
HoneyB,
U r oso into baking ....
Augustmum,
Some of the baking instrument that BIY is selling, you can found at Phoon Huat oso. Saw it at their branch in Hougang. Furthermore, Phoon Huat got the ready mix cup cake flour which i think make baker life easier. BTW d u hv any idea the difference of muffin n cupcake?

cecelia,
not sure if it correct. Someone told me muffin uses normal flour, cupcake uses cake flour. Muffin's easier to make. Just mix dry and wet ingredients.
Mummies,
So many people interested in cupcakes. Should we have a session pref. at an expert's house with a big kitchen and maid to help clean up?
Any volunteers?

Muffins/cupcakes: From what I know, muffins are usually more dense and filling - with the flavour ingredients like chocolate chips/banana/blueberries baked inside. But for cupcakes, the very basics of it is just ordinary sponge cake and the icing/ deco on the cake is the rich part
I'm having cupcakes for my girl's B'day next Sat too... I'm having a ladybird theme party so I'm struggling to make red icing to make ladybird cupcakes!

Crisann, tell me abt it! they wan means wan...if not, they will cry as if kenna beaten like tat! my girl, she will clench both her fists and bend both hands upwards and go, "hmmmmmm!!!!!' then the blood will rush from neck to face then to head! all my relatives saw tat b4, n they were all so shocked!
i will stop her by beating and shouting into her face to STOP, then just let her cry! coz i believe i better stop her b4 she let this habit grow on her then it will be hard for us to teach her liao!

ya, i hv realised tat they really dunno how to share.. i hv seen it alot of times when i was at the cryroom at my church, a place where all infants or babies will stay with their parents and attend the svc inside this room.
there are usually many babies, it's like a playgroup! n many times, i see young babies like my girl will snatch, push, "slap" each other when being "provoked".. i must say it's fun to see how they react when their terrority or assets being intruded!
esp when other babies walked past their parents! for my girl, she will quickly walk back to me, and sit on my lap to "protect" me! hee...quite a heartwarming moment i must add!

Hey augbaby!

Hey Piyo,
thanks for letting me know about delihub! i think i will go for that! hee hee!! was actually considering chillipadi.. haiz.. but not really sure leh..
Kelly,
thanks for helping me sort out the playgroups. I registered Jadelle for JG playnest @ Forum.. i know the Evans road outlet better, but i am on waitlist for that for billingual playclub on weekends.. cos i prefer daddy to join in. Also, Forum nearer my work place and MIL easier to take cab home.
So, now Tuesday/ Thursday my lunch time = play time with Jadelle then back to work for me! And MIL will take 1.5 break then to do nails/ wash hair etc.

Hi augbaby,
Do u want to go for a trial or sign up for the lessons straightaway at JWT?
Also, can u help me check out learning vision (which is near ur place)if u pass by the place? think it's at blk 817.
I've just checked out the abc children's place near my parents' place. might sign him up when he's 18 months 1st cos i just want him to learn some social skills 1st. half day childcare is 7 to 1pm but lessons will officially start at 9.15am so i might bring him for lessons instead of staying there for half a day.
The supervisor told me the children will be taught to put on their clothes and shoes, self-feeding, toilet training, academic stuff such as learning words in English and Chinese, singing, colouring, etc.
Saw that registration for 2008 preschool education is open at some centres already. these incl. Soka Kindergarten, Kinderland Sports (Safra) and the educational centres at tampines central CC. Will be checking out the educational centres at Tampines Central CC most prob in Sept.

I did bread bite size sandwich with green bean or red bean paste (boil and puree myself) without any sugar added. If not, I'll just give the babybel cheese or plain wholemeal bread lor. I do give Justin those bb biscuits in the mkt just for treats and encourage self feeding initially, but since its not a substantial part of his diet, I'm ok with the sugar content.

I boil the beans until soft then mash them thru the sieve. Then spread the paste on the slice of bread and cut into small squares. I buy the bread from bakery like Four Leaves or Breadtalk cos my friend told me those bakery bread got lesser preservatives than those gardenia type. I also try to buy those half loaves cos Justin can't finish so much.

Hv you tasted dried apricots before? The ones that I have tasted are sweet, like dried mango - also sweet.
Common food preservatives are salt and sugar... Can't expect a piece of apricot or shrimp to be dried in the sun and then can last for eternity without decomposing. Surely need something like salt or sugar to preserve it.
I think vinegar and oil are also used as preservatives. Besides these, there are also other kinds of preservatives - compounds too cheem for my understanding.
If you want to give Jay "healthier snacks", I suggest you give him unprocessed stuff like -fresh- fuits (fresh apricots... if you can find them in Singapore) and veg sticks. Cos anything that is processed will *most likely* have preservatives. Some of your packet drinks also got preservatives. Canned food have plenty of preservatives.
Btw, french fries that you buy from the frozen food section are processed food. A *fresh* potato is not.
Butter8,
Thanks. The menu looks yummy!

hi augbaby,
Fresh apricots from Cold Storage or Jason's Market but they are not always available. Brown Paradise at Tanglin Mall also has some organic fresh apricots. In these places, the fruits and vegetables are usually labelled thus you will be able to know what you are buying.
I also started Rae on finger foods such as steamed asparagus, mini-carrots, zucchini and green peas. Just steam them for 10 - 15minutes then cut into smaller pieces.
Otherwise, soft fruits such as kiwi, papaya, mango, grapes can also be offered as finger foods when you cut them into cubes.
Fresh apricots from Cold Storage or Jason's Market but they are not always available. Brown Paradise at Tanglin Mall also has some organic fresh apricots. In these places, the fruits and vegetables are usually labelled thus you will be able to know what you are buying.
I also started Rae on finger foods such as steamed asparagus, mini-carrots, zucchini and green peas. Just steam them for 10 - 15minutes then cut into smaller pieces.
Otherwise, soft fruits such as kiwi, papaya, mango, grapes can also be offered as finger foods when you cut them into cubes.
augbaby,
oh...when we hv meals outside, i either time it such that i can feed Justin his porridge at the same time. Or if not, I'll just feed him the bread or sometimes i bring yoghurt lor. Or maybe u can bring a banana out and mash and give him when u r having ur meal outside.
