whao.. Chin Chin, your gal like in nursery oredy, can hold pen so well! Owen will either throw or grib the lead area, cannot sit still. My drawings oso does not attract him.
Nowadays he likes to throw things alot. Yesterday, he got frustrated over a container lid cover, pushed the whole container away, lifted up the huge cement mixer toy high and threw it down to vent anger. I caught it in time if not wait the toy's gonna spoil faster. Den at my MIL hse, he threw a toy that nearly hit my SIL. Again, I looked at him sternly and told him NO but b4 I explaint, he frown into tears. Any suggestion to handle? He's got his sleep, taken his dinner, I cannot see what else's missing. Haiz..dunno which screw loose really.

usually if my gal frown in tears, I will tell her sternly what is wrong and let her cry out. she will stop in a while and come hugging me. Then I will tell her to say "sorry".
But when outside, usually I will bring her away from the crowd.
It doesn't always work though but when I show her my stern look, she will know what I mean

it's the Superland Montessori at Ganges Ave. Sibey popular, dunno why... actually I'm not worried abt my gal not being comfy in school. I'm main worry is she'll bully the other kids, and every other day I'm being told to attend "jian jia zhang" session... then I'll be very busy liao.

babygal, very tiring lor...a few times i feel so much like giving up on bf so that others can help feed him. i think i got slight depression oso...sometimes feel so frustrated. prob i think i wanna find a job and maybe get mil to look after my boy.
doggymum, see i so blur...this morning drop her to school then i asked the teacher abt the biting incident. turns out that the girl loves hugging people so she go around hugging and then she hug my girl and i think my girl dun like so she bite her. i asked the teacher how is the kiddo and she said later she will see her lor.

Hi all,
Bbgal, wow, not bad siah. First day at work and managed to clear so much for them liao. Super efficient hor.... I see that your Kenise is settling very well in her CC too. Good for u lah. By the way, I need to return the toys that I rented this weekend. Wondering if they are opend on suns? Heh, I brought Z to the Jacobs Ballas Children Garden to play last weekend and he had an enjoyable time! Think we might bring him there often. FOC somemore and carpark only $1 per entrance on Suns!! Haha...
Starmoon, I was also wondering if I can cope with bf when bb junior comes out. At least for Zavier, I managed to total bf for about 6 months plus. I wouldn't want to "shortchange" my junior and would very much want to do the same too. But tat would have to depend on Zavier's behaviour. If he whole day gets jealous, then how am I going to bf the junior? Headache.....Which school is your girl attending?
Doggymum, I totally understand the wait too. I put Z's name on the waiting list this Jan for the Learning Vision at my workplace (Novena) and he's still 22nd on the wait list lor! Don't even know if I can get a placement for him early next yr... sigh... Had wanted to put him there before junior comes out but now got to make alternative arrangements.
Anyone knows if there are any sales ard at Isetan or Robinsons? Want to get the Avent manual pump again cos my previous one seems quite old liao.

bearyhugs, my hubby oso asked me to continue to bf my boy cos he said last time with my girl i oso manage to tong and bf her exclusively for 6 months. i guess it is so much easier to handle my girl compared to my boy cos he keep votmitting even though i burp him. i checked with PD and he said it is not of a concern as my boy is gaining weight well despite the votmitting. sometimes seems like he can votmit half or the whole feed and then after that he wants to latch on for more milk. hence, very tiring for me. though a part of me wanna persist on, the other part of me feels like throwing in the towel...really stressful and tiring to take care of 2 young ones. then nite time, i scare my boy cries will wake hubby and my girl so sometimes i get frustrated when i put him down to sleep after burping and yet he still cry and wanna latch on somemore but then when i latch him, he fall asleep shortly or suckle for comfort only. datz y really feel like stopping bf and juz give fm. my girl super sticky to me nowadays lor and i feel i dun have any time to myself at all hence i get frustrated. my girl is attending cherie hearts at lor melayu (kembangan branch). i got the avent manual pump which i bought a couple of months ago...had intended to do tandem pumping but then too lazy to do so...in the end still use back my pis advanced and so i wanna get rid of the avent manual pump...it is new and packaging still intact. let me know if u r interested.

She's definitely not demure lah.. dun be fooled by her looks. It's just the "screen saver" and once you deactivate this screen saver function, you'll see the true colors inside! hahaha.. that day at the fam. trip there was a little boy there (from the school) wanting to take away a toy she was holding. She refused to let go, and managed to safeguard the toy from the little gor gor. See, even as a visitor there, she's already bullying others liao. . I like the place, but thought of going for a "trial" class to observe how classses are being conducted before making a final decision to enrol her there. Cos hor, not cheap so wanna ensure it's worth the $. If all goes well, plan to let her commence in Jan 08.
bearyhugs
Seems like everywhere also long waiting lists for schools/courses enrolments for our kiddos hor? Are we parents too kiasu?

Apple Tree registration is on 30 June (for lessons commencing Jan 09), in case you're not aware of it. School fees is $160/mth I think. You can register online now, then make payment on 30 June itself (more kiasu way or "reserving" a seat lah).

Yes, apple tree charges school fees for school holidays. Many schools are practising that, but of course not all lah. One of the reasons why I was more tempted to register at Superland Montessori was due to this. They do not have much school holidays, except for once in awhile, they're closed for some school functions.

Hi all, i have enrol my boy in the PAP playgroup, little step, think 2mth ago. Their entrance criteria is 30mth ler(as what peng mention). So Lucas only can start next year April. Think appletree and PAP playgroup are about the same price but not sure what is the different in their teaching style. Anyway PAP playgroup is nearer to me so i just enrol him there.
Hi all,
Does your kidz starting to show preference of what clothing to wear already? Don't know why nowadays he start choosing his own clothes and pants. I gave him set A clothes to wear he will put back and take another set.
Happend to find this interesting place for kids to play but i haven't being there yet, just happen to find it on the web.
Anyone being there? It's a toy rental club but can go in and play but need to pay.

hi Tiwi
Whao, Lucas so fast aware of his clothings oredy, Owen is still unaware of this.
hi mummies
I am concern of the contacts with all sorts of infections once our bb starts playgroup/CC, hence since I have a choice I would rather not put him in too early.
But guess I will have to put Owen at the nearest void deck 2-hr Xiao Dou Dou class when he hits 2.5 years old. That's best for my MIL to fetch and care for him.
Haiz... he still cannot hold a pencil to draw lines. Once he moves the pencil across the paper, the grib will let loose. Dunno how.

Mousy pig,
Sorry, think your CC locations all in the NE, so I've nvr heard of it leh. Must ask those who stays at SK or Punggol.
Tiwi,
That toyrental place is the same place that both me and bbgal brought our kiddos to play the other day. Posted some pics too mah. http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/cgi-bin/forumboard/discus.cgi?pg=next&topic=353640&page=1442783. Quite a nice place to let the kiddos play and rest relax there because u can jus sit back and watch. But have nvr tried going on a weekend leh. Anyway, now that we've tried the Jacob ballas gardens Botanica, I think that's an even better place to bring our kiddos to. Got sand and water to play with. N its clean water, not the sea water. Haha.. My boy also knows how to choose clothes, whole day choose the shoes he wants to wear too. Can tell me "Mummy, don't want this one, want that one" and keep pointing to the shoes/clothes he wants.
BBgal, first two weeks of new job like that one lah. Still settling period so just bear with it lor. Come to think of it, I've never had a job change since I graduated from NUS. I'm still in my first job after 7 yrs!
Peng, I see that you are always so dilligent and patient in teaching YH stuff. I think with your dedication, no need to send YH to school so early lah. The prob n need lies with full time working mums like us lor - NO TIME!
Starmoon, I think I can understand how you feel. Your fears are exactly my fears too and I foresee that coming. We are now trying to get in a maid, so busy sourcing for one now. But strangely, I haven't been able to find one with good bbsitting experience leh. Anyone got good recommendations for maid agencies. I've visited 3 and even the Nation which Xiang Yun kept advertising. No good candidates leh. Starmoon, by the way, how much are u selling for your new Avent pump manual? I'm interested! Can PM me?
