weiwei, I guess all the kids will need to take some time to adjust to the CC. I can imagine the heartpain when you see your gal cry...*sigh* think i will be going through this next month too! Did the teacher encourage you to put her for 1/2 day first or straight away just full day?

no, i was e one who wanted full day. actually she s fine without me, even said byebye to us. e teacher said usually 1st 2wks u cant expect they wil behave perfectly, they need time to knw other ppl and understand routines. tat's e reason i din sit in wif her. e more i stay there, e slower she learn and interract with others, she knws tat mummy always here, then wil expect u to be there everyday. so now i just say byebye and tell her mummy will pick her up after afternoon tea, then just go away. i sure will pull her out or end up myself crying if i stay there.

True........we need to be heartless at this stage!
*Sigh* I used to be a childcare teacher 15 years ago...and used to take crying toddlers from their teary mummies/daddies....can't imagine now the role is reversed and now I am the teary mummy!
She must be very happy to see you when you pick her up every day!

hi dawn,
Nice to hear from u! Oh, poor thing, work so late, until 1am?? I always had the impression u were a teacher...but i thought maybe in a pri or sec sch. u must be very tired. Must take care of your health too. Abt photos, i usually resize to approx 10%-15% of the original size, so it'll be less than 60kb. Oh, are u considering hvg another kid? I'm expecting a singleton, abt 4mths now.
Hi Weiwei,
I read your posts also feel very sad... think I'll cry too when I send my kids to cc next time. So hard to let go hor, and worry they won't eat, esp my gal who eats v slowly. Will the teachers spend the time trying to feed the slow eaters or just give up after a while and give milk? I haven't started my kids on vitagen yet, only yoghurt. Are ur boys in cc too?

hi weiwei,
My gal likes to keep porridge in her mouth for a long time before swallowing. She takes twice as long to eat her porridge. She's faster when eating snacks she likes, like cornflakes, biscuits. But her total amt of solids not much. So end up a bit of this and that, plus some of our food adds up lor. Her bro is more keen. Oh btw mine's natural.

petals, congrats!
so nice to have a baby again! yup, i am a teacher...in pri school. my gal also very picky with food...not like her didi....rubbish bin, cleans up everything....so the didi is 2kg heavier than her liow...even though when born, he was 500g lighter.
weiwei....u still want to have babies ah? i can't even cope with my 2 precious liow...so probably will wait or just close shop. i think they will eat the solid food once they are ready....hmm...peer pressure there will also make them eat right?

ya, i also think they wil pick up all kinds of skills when they r ready. but for my gal, i feel guilty coz was busy @ work never pay attention what kind of food she should eat, at least should let her start to try when she grew teeth.
think she can learn more frm other kids in cc than at hm, hope she becomes more interested in trying solid food and enjoy chewing...

Dawn, weiwei,
Thanks, babydust to u both then! We do give her a little of our adult rice/noodles which she enjoys but usually only after eating the baby porridge as my in laws believe the porridge is more nutritious with all that fish in it.
Dawn,
Seem like our gals more fussy abt food yah? Mine is 1kg lighter. Wah, didn't know pri sch can work until 1am? I thot with the recruitment drive, more newbies shld decrease your workload. Do you work late in sch or at home? cos not v safe to stay in sch.

Petals, haha...my gal is vain...she likes us to tie up her hair. wear sunglasses she also like, kept going to admire herself in the mirror. My hubby and I nearly peng watching her do that.....
weiwei, my boy is actually bigger than the gal, cos he eats much more but gal's face is naturally rounder. I think this age our kids are at they will keep hitting and biting one another one. My twins have been hitting and biting each other almost every day , do yours do that? I have to resort to buying this series of story book "No Hitting", "No biting" etc and going to start reading to them tomorrow. Hope it helps to drill in them not to be so violent! *sigh* sounds like your gal has gotten used to child care centre?

haha, my gal also like to admire herself in e mirror whenever she saw one. but she wil never let me tie up or even clip her hair. she refused to come to me n keep staring at me for one whole day after i cut her hair few wks ago.
my didi very guai one, korkor is e one nuaghty. he always beat didi. after crying, didi s e one go n hug and call "korkor". didi s more look like a big brother!!
korkor s e one having bad temper, grandma said he s a Junior mummy.
my gal adapt to childcare very well, except for not enough sleep.at night no change, she sleeps at 9-10pm, til next morning 7-730am. her nap time became shorter in e childcare. she used to nap 1-5pm, but in childcare, everyone wake up at 3pm. somemore she doesnt fall asleep easily, unless v tired. so i alway let her sleep for extra hrs during weekend and try to put her sleep earlier at night. can see her panda eyes alrdy.
as for her eating, still nt as good as other kids, but had some improvement. oh, btw, she doesn't use diapers unless for sleep time.

my hometown culture is to train kids off diapers as soon as we can so that e baby doesnt hav e habit of peeing in diapers.
since my gal was 1 yr old, i started carry her by holding her legs and let her pee/poo in a plastic basin in e daytime. after she got used to this, and when she can express out her urge of urine, i start her on potty. u need to keep on telling them: must tell mummy/auntie when u want to pee/poo. be prepare to wash more wet pants and dun be afraid of wetting their pants, after they feel e uncomfortable, they wil slowly understand that it is not good to wet themselves. oh, i still need to remind her by bringing her to e toilet about 10-20mins after her meal or drink. yes, need to mornitor their elimination pattern. as for my gal, she wil poo right after meal, so after each meal, i wil make sure she go to e potty b4 cleaning up e table. however sometimes she wil forget to tell when she s in a hurry to play or with unfamiliar faces. so hav to keep reminding her.
my friend even started when her daughter was 1 mth old. she didnt wear for her diaper at all, even in e night time, she took e effort to get up and carry her baby for urine after knowing e timing. her gal knew how to use potty b4 she could walk!

weiwei, oic. That is a good culture. environmentally friendly and cost saving too! My mum say she also trained me to urine first thing in the morning by the end of 1 month! I guess nowadays got diapers it is too convenient, so no motivation to toilet train them?
How are your going to spend the weekend with her? Do you miss your boys?

u r right, nowadays not only babies but also parents r pampered with all those convenient stuffs.
for e weekends, i try to follow her timing in cc so that she wont get confused over routines. very often, mummy changes her outdoor play time to shopping time, haha...... of coz i miss my boys, calling them everyday just want to hear them calling "mama".

I understand. now even with twins, i wish i can give them equal undivided attention. someone must always help to take care of the other especially when they are cranky....
that is why pple always seems to envy us having twins and triplets....I tell them I really would rather they come one by one...so that i can enjoy them on their own....*sigh*

dawn,
pple always envy us twin mummies, sometimes i will also be thinking if they come one by one better, however at times when they play together,hold hands,talk to each other, i will feel glad that they come in pairs,haha! So contradicting right?
I sometimes feel sorry for them as they cannot enjoy our full attention,must always share with the other. On the other hand, i will think they r very blessed to have a companion of the same age to play with,funny right?

yes, they are fun to watch when they are nice and pally to one another... not when they fight and try to hit each other.....*sigh*
I just started them at childcare centre this week...3rd day liow...my normally confident and cheerful gal has been reduced to teary and clingy and anxiety stricken kitten. So heart pain to see that, hopefully will get better. My normally cry baby boy, surprisingly cried a little when left there alone, these 2 days enjoyed himself there and even skipped excitedly when getting ready to go to school.

that's true. and these episode r like a daily routine/event in my house,haha!
But sometimes it's also amusing seeing them fight and scolding each other, i gotta stop myself from laughing at times. There was once when jiejie drop something , then the kpo meimei pointed at her and scold her "see, drop". I can't help laughing cos it was just like me scolding them! So think kids nowadays imitates us very well, so i gonna be more careful in my words.

hi mummies,
Been mia awhile. Just asking, did u have to be on waiting list for your children's cc? Wondering how long the process takes and can we start in any month or must we follow term/semester?
Dawn, waaa, can understand how heartache u feel when your gal clings and cries. But does she enjoy herself once she's there with other kids? And does she still play with her brother in cc?
Yes, Deasy, would like to meet up too if u r coming here. But may not bring my kids unless can bring my entourage too. Keke... I'm getting bigger and doc says try not to bao-bao my kids now.

Dawn, waaa, can understand how heartache u feel when your gal clings and cries. But does she enjoy herself once she's there with other kids? And does she still play with her brother in cc?

wow...the thread suddenly so active!
hi petals, depends on childcare centres...some need to start during official terms some no need. Some have super long waiting list...can be more than 1/2 year to 1 year. Mine had to wait for 2 months plus b4 can start.
weiwei, tinkls,
My 2 kids seem to cry more than they enjoy cc now. But the teachers were telling me once they stopped crying they were fine. In fact they told me the 2 kids love story telling...full attention and glued to the teacher. think it will take time to adjust. My gal last night had nightmares so many times and clinged on to me and refused to be put back to the bed...even when she fell asleep I slowly put onto my bed, the moment she touched the bed she will tense up and cry again...until I picked her up to sooth. so this repeated for 1 hour plus b4 she finally dozed off. *sigh* terrible night....v heart pain to see her so terrified and scared, cos she was never like that.
Deasy,
good good...u let us know when u coming back ok? I will be off to BKK mid dec...
I think there will never be a so called best time/good time to send them....i think the earlier the better leh...if a few months old to infant care, I am sure the kids will not know what is call separation anxiety.
think all singapore cc operates from 7am to 7pm. They are required to do so by MCYS. I usually send mine about 845am. Will pick them up 12noon. next month will put them full day, so will slowly extend to 1pm , than 300pm, 330pm, 4pm...hopefully theny get used to it.

weiwei,
as i know, there's not a really day care here, its just a couple hour for children to enter classes, sing, snack, and then go home oredi. so, its kind like playgroup class. my twins will start at 815 and finish at 1015, thts it.
dawn, petals, weiwei,
surely will let you know if i come.

Hi Weiwei & Petals,
How are you? Have been seeing you guys post but just no time to write...... my twins are 20mth now, very active and handful....
I also like to send them to daycare but HK don't really have such good and clean school like Sin, choices are not many, good ones are very far and very costly!!! easily S$2K per child! Have also register them for school next year but can you imagine no English and Mandrain, only cantonese school and they are charging S$700 per child and only 3 hour per day. Just to let them get used to school life and more discpline before i send them back to Sin for school. Planning to send them back to Sin for K1 when they are 4 years old.....
Petal, you mention that you are getting "bigger", you mean no. 3 is coming ah..... wow! then congratulation!
Keep in touch and hopefully can meet up with you when i'm back in Sin for CNY. Weiwei and Petal, can you send me your contact to my email add at [email protected] so that i can call you when i'm back.

i think u need to start searching or registering ur twins for cc alrdy coz always got long waiting list. some good and cheap ones need to wait up to 1 yr for a vacancy in their cc. better start now.
dawn
oh, ur kids r on half day only hah, okok. i think they just need more time to adjust. they should b fine soon.
my gal has been sick n coughing for about a mth alrdy
luckily i havnt start work yet, if nt dun know wat to do alrdy.
deasy
agree with dawn, any form of class will help e little ones to slowly adapt to bigger group of ppl and also learn to interact and socialise among themselves. kids learn different skills frm peer as frm parents. am looking for a suitable cc/playgroup for my boys as well. they r still at home and i feel it's e time to send them out.
theresa
hihihi!!! welcome back
wow, i think Sin has e best and yet e cheapest childcare in e world. even in Aus, although they hav fullday programme, e kids r left alone most of e time and they charge around 50-70 dollars per day! in my hometown, most of e cc only take in kids 2.5yrs old and older. we hav those 2 hrs program, but it is expensive. no matter wat, we hav to bare with e cost and start them earlier.
u r coming back for CNY? okok, good! i hav emailed u my hp no. and do call me when u r back.

hi dawn/weiwei,
Yah i know what u mean abt waiting list. I just started calling a few ccc. Some don't even have waiting list and tell me can register for 2011! Aiyo. Found one with vacancy but quite exp leh, so still thinking abt it. Dawn, u also stay in NE, which one do u send ur kids to? Who helps to send your kids to cc?
Theresa,
Hi hi! Nice to hear from u! I'm running out of things to do with them, they get bored easily and always want to go out. How about yours? Do you bring them out much? And now no. 3 on the way, so i'm not as active too.
Oh, just went to the annual w/house sale at Tampines st92 and bought quite a few tops for our toddlers. Has very cheap carters and oshkosh clothes from NB onwards. I think many mummies buy them and resell online. Cos pretty carters romper dresses and single pc tops going for as low as 3 for $10. Today till this Sat only.

weiwei,
It's at no. 43 Gimmil bldg, at the industrial estate behind tampines safra. 9am-8pm. U going? I've been there last yr and bot lots of stuff. Bot lots today too.
Girls carters wider range than boys, and a lot for under 2yo. But i can still find tees for 2T, 3T, 4T, cutting quite small. Oshkosh slightly more exp, but much cheaper than dept store.

Hi Petals,
Congratulation! So this time is a boy or girl??? Is this a IVF baby? When are you due? Can give me your tel. no, will contact you when i'm back during CNY.
My twins also getting very active and especially my girl, she is really a TV QUEEN! She will ask me to on the TV once she gets up in the morning but will try to distract her to do some other things but sometime she just insist on it! Luckily for where i'm staying is like a resort area and are very kid friendly, they have quite alot of things to keep the kids entertained, 3 indoor playroom, about 6 outdoor playground, swimming pool and lots of gardens and park for me to bring them for walk or cycling..... but can really be tiring for me to do that everyday.
Take care and hope to see you soon.....

Hi theresa,
No, this was a surprise...it will be a Di Di this time. Will pm u. My kids also like tv a lot...sigh, don't know how to wean them off. It helps them to eat their porridge faster and keeps them from running around the room when I'm trying to put them to sleep.
weiwei,
Did u manage to go to the w/h sale? Bought anything?
