Giggler,
I'll probably put Ben with Sarah's swimming coach, wherever that might be by the time he's 3. At present Sarah does swimming in Pasir Ris with a swim school. Nowadays when we go swimming as a family, Ben will kick and blow bubbles, and I'll dunk him from time to time

Wah,
so many post... have been under the weather the last few days so didn't come in to see the thread.
Had rashes the last few days, super irritating, then came the flu bug. Now back at work but still feeling weak.
I've been thinking of where to go this year end too. My hubby has been wanting to go to Ho Chi Minh but like what winnie says, not child friendly. I been there with my parents a couple of years ago. We have a wedding to attend in KL in dec and we'll be driving up. I think Melbourne flight a little long, so dun think I can survive with Ryan, cos I'll be abt 7 mths then i think.
Maybe nearby like Bintan... like u gals suggest...

smurfy,
Yes it is, that's the problem. They have some similar 'equipment' to a real gym, but they just require the kids to climb up and down, and don't really focus on the physical skills so much as conceptual and language development. So in the end, Sarah used to just crawl down the blocks, and not jump down as she should have done, even the lower blocks. So when she went to real gym, she didn't dare to jump down the blocks and would crawl down. I had to do lots of 'homework' to help her get over the fear of jumping down. As for the language and music development for gymboree, not bad lah. Quite fun for the kids.

sunsweet,
i will be attending a wedding on 13Dec, but not sure when my hubby wants to drive up.
Felt that having a car to drive around more convenient cos got lots of barang barang for Ryan. Gonna bring a portable high chair for him this time. Then we can go jalan jalan on our own and dun have to depend on our relative's car.

Smurfy - yeah, so far JG nt too bad, bt again, it's just 1st lesson, will know more as A attends more.

I m also vexed over cc.... Time is running shorter & I think I need do some research on cc for A nx yr... Haiz... $$, care-taking........ Fan fan fan...

Ah ger,
Nowadays when we bring Ben swimming, he wears an ordinary diaper with a waterproof diaper cover over. Doesn't really keep the water out, but looks better than just the diapers alone. The diapers don't seem to feel too waterlogged, though I'd have to ask my hb cos he is the one who bathes Ben after the swim. Actually, if the baby is poo-trained, can go without diaper leh. After all, if they pee in the diaper, it probably washes out into the pool anyway.
Sunsweet, chocbabe,
You are related ah?

PVL - they stressed tat no aqua diaper, no entry.
Ah ger, PLV..Yael wears a swimsuit to the pool..so far no pee or poo in the pool..pee maybe but cant tell..Just make sure he does a poo before going to the pool.
Which pool is that which insist on babies wearing aqua diaper?
So far the lifeguard didnt stop us from bringing Yael in a swimsuit.

good morning gals
left cherish with my mum yesterday cos i was having fever..
when she is with me in the morning, no time to surf net, cos i need to feed her breakfast, play with her abit and if time permits, bring her down to playgrd while waiting for mom to fetch her.
re: enrichment class
it seems that cherish is worst off after attending classes.. maybe not suitable for her? i am letting her stop for a while first.

sunsweet,
mine is also the bride side. her parents just came down to deliver the invitations last weekend from KL. What's the bride's surname? Her surname is Mak and husband's is Lim....
I should be staying at our relative's place.... u?
think it's really more convenient to drive up. KLIA is so far from city.

Childcare,
I've signed up Ryan with Sparkletots already. It's next block to my new house. The fees are really low compared to what I paid for Kinderland. I paid $583 for half day at kinderland and $280 for full day at sparkletots. Hope the program is comparable then.
I signed him up for full day cos the fees is only diff by $36 and they allow me to bring him home for nap and then choose to bring him back for afternoon activity on the days i want to. But generally I will only put him there from 9am to 12.30pm.
Also as a backup in case my in-laws wants to go overseas, then i can leave him there the whole day.

jelly,
the first 2 weeks not ez. the first day he still think we be around n he runs to the toys n didn't care us. then after a while when he couldn't find us, he cries. but we hid. then just abt to go back, he saw us and run to us but teacher carry him back and he cry again. as the day goes by, he cry more n more earlier... hahaha by end of the wk, he become nervous upon enterin the buildin liao.
then he caught the viral fever two times this mth! guess expected to fall sick more easily lor.
but this week, he show improvement. my hb say he doesn't cry so much now. then now everyday, i will go there earlier (since i still on leave) by 1 hr to spend time w him. i will bring nice cakes n bread so he be anticpating. he v happy n always smile when i come. tat 1 hr i will stay around there to let him get used to the place. i also reassure him tat school is fun and also we will fetch him.
actually the fees there is rather ex. around 800 plus but hb got subsidy n fee is $530 w/o gst. but i workin mum so got $300 to deduct so not so bad.
they have an optional music course which i might give zz since he love music. but for now, let him get used to school life first.
so far, he still doesn't mix well w his group yet. when i m there, he likes to call the gor gor n jie jie n they also seems to like him.
then i observe the students there rather good manners n have discipline. like if they find rubbish on the floor, they will auto pick up n throw in dustbin. then yesterday a little boy even open the dustbin to let me throw my used tissue. then one little gal touch my back to wave good bye to me.
i hope zz can learn to be indep n have good manners too.
Chocbabe, Sparkletotss near yr hoime? is it the TB one?

Hi everyone, I'm back from Genting.. it was a good trip overall. We left 1 day later than planned 'cos hubby wasn't feeling too good so only 3 nights holiday 1 night in KL to visit my cousin and my grandma and of course whack Mdm Kwan's food.. hehe.. then next 2 days in Genting. The kiddos had fun... the only downside is that Genting doesn't hv nice suites available.. so we booked 2 adjoining rooms in Resort Hotel. Not as convenient as those nice service apartments we like to stay in but ok lah. Surprisingly the weather was quite chilly (18deg) and foggy! So I ended up having to buy a sweater from FOS for RM30. But yeah, it was a good family holiday.. photos on FB.
haha.. think milkie triggered off a Joovy trend already.
Garfield, G is such a good little girl hor? Can let korkor and mei mei sleep in the same room la, just not in the same bed. That's what we do during vacation. Beth is in the hotel cot and Timo takes the single bed. Poor G, hope her fever goes down.
Aiyoh, the milk product thingie... those ppl in China so chek ark. I bought a bottle of Dutch Lady strawberry UHT milk for Timo on the last day of Genting
Luckily I never buy Monmilk or Yili product.. HENG AH...
Charis, you going for Tuesday session? Milkie???

Hi Mummies!
Haven't logged in for a while. Hope all is well
Garfield, how have you been with 2 kids? Still have time to log on often to chat... Kowtow you!
Jelly, saw your australia pix. So nice and guess you and your family must have enjoyed it tremendously. We are thinking of going to Taiwan this December but it is so difficult to get air tickets. At the moment, we are on waiting list...
Really hope to be able to travel this time round...
Milkie, yup, the Joovy stroller is so cool... you organising a bulk purchase?
Think my Julian would be really glad to be able to stand on it and kaypo around
Catz, glad your family holiday was a great one
btw, which service do you attend now? I go for the 5pm service while Julian attends the toddlers class
He loves his teachers and the classes they conduct.
Wow, Bitbit, haven't 'heard' from you for a while...
Good to have you back.
Childcare:
I have already signed up Julian for next year's half day childcare at Wharton Junior Academy (those in CCK around would probably know this). Oh, come to think about it, better ring them and ask them if they need me to pay deposit to secure the place...
