Fatbabe, Smurfy..I find the toddler strap aka "leash" rather useful..its good for mothers who dont use strollers..cos I notice one of my fren who doesnt use a stroller or strap her tod roams around while she window shops..n a few times she disappeared among the aisle..I so scared for her leh..once tod gets lost that's it..very traumatic for kid n mother leh..so like PVL said better safe n embarrased by frowns/stares from strangers than sorry when yr tod gets lost.
I've used the wrist strap on Yael..he prefers that than us holding his hand..more comfortable.
I saw some cute body straps in Taka baby dept, with the soft toy attached..more fun to use..go check it out mummies!
I prefer to let Yael be in stroller or in a shopping trolley if I need to shop so that he cannot run n take stuff off shelves..I simply do not allow him to do this..cos it becomes habit..he'll think its ok to do tat..if I dont bring stroller I wont shop! Haha. I just cant handle him at the same time..not like last time can put him in the sling!

jas arr
pat's principal called me up arr. they only have playgrp (ie. 3 yrs old) next year. the earliest they can put him in their center is when he reaches 2 yrs old in Feb but then he will be with most of the 3 yrs old.. i dun think QY is ready... so i told her to put me in a waitlist for perhaps june 09..... otherwise QY will join in at 2010... so meanwhile, he still cheong with his stroller at my mum's place..

smurfy, i thot the playgrp is for 2 years old? That time the principal from the ulu siglap told me they can put Xi to the school before she turns 2, but depends on how mature she is. Some younger ones if mix wif older kids might feel inferior as the older ones can do things which they can't. But some younger kids might think he/she can do wat the older kids can do. So depends on the kids... I am holding back the idea of sending Xi to school before 2 yo also. Maybe wait till she is 2.5 yo then i send her to the Paper Scissors Stone Montessori which i quite like...

Hello Mummies.
Been browsing through the Bulk purchase. So may cute thing I would like to buy but can't as I am in Malaysia. I also went to this Studio Loft site. Very very nice photography http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/450761/586645.html

smurfy, oh, i think the ulu siglap branch only have playgroup, nursery and kindergarten. Ya, i feel the same too... hopefully the jubilee park branch will have a d-story club soooon!
papers scissor stone is another kindy near upper changi road. I talked to the person in charge there before (outside the house as I did not make prior appt) and quite like the concept and method of teaching there. But they only take in kids above 2.5 yo. He asked me to call again in june09. Here's the webbie: http://pssmk.com/

Sap, previously we wanted to send Xi to school early cos we dun want her to feel that she is "abandoned" after the arrival of her meimei and hubby wants her to learn to be more independent. But on second thot now, it might be disruptive to her since i will have confinement in JB and may need to put her out of school for 1 or 2 months. So postpone the idea of school for now.

wow gals, i realise boys r more notti... fat_babe, smurfy i understand cos i also have a wild boy at home. he can xiao xiao scream n then run around n climb... aiyo like monkey. then can be super sticky too. he doesn't like to sit in trolley. stroller at times when mei mei sit inside! aiyo.

jelly, i have yr thoughts too when i send zz to school but later postpone cos he too early. cos min age is also 18 mths anyway. then i took fat_babe advice to engage him w mei mei at home while i on leave. he noe knows he has mei mei. he do sayang her but of cos there r times he get jealous.
chocbabe, ya, i have engaged my previous confinement lady to help me during the period. Hopefully she won't fly me aeroplane last minute...
garfield, maybe give him more time to be wif meimei first before sending him to school. I dunno how my Xi will react to her meimei when meimei arrives. I hope she won't be that jealous as last nite i said i want to sing to meimei, she protested and quickly came to my side and lied on me. Haiz...

while u all are worrying abt ur youngsters running here and there, i am trying to encourage my gal to explore on her own.
after her scare at sch plus recent illness, she is practically glued to me, even at home.
recently i think she is also so scared of my hb..whenever my hb talk, she will rush to me..maybe cos my hb was a bit fierce to her..

Yesterday, my son refuse to go to bed and kept screaming and crying for his yeye and mama in the bedroom. I lost my patience and carried him out of the room and told him "since you want yeye and mama, you stay outside, mummy wants to sleep already", then i closed the door....
Then that guy started crying for mummy.... haha, then after that stuck to me like koala bear and fell asleep immediately... so happy cos MUMMY RULES!

my boy hor... likes to play w/ anybody & everybody... bt he also likes to bully everybody....
He has bn climbing onto the sofa & jump onto my niece's stomach, then my sotong niece just laid tare screaming in pain! So notti leh.......... scold him liao he still think it's funny. Tat day just used the bamboo stick to hit my dad! @#$%^&*(
Mine def can't sit still. As for older kids giving in to him, nt true lor... hb's niece & nephews always push him out of the rm cos he only know hw to wreak havoc.. the moment c him inside I will hear "didi u dun cme in........." *faint*
Bt when gng hme time, all 3 or 4 kids will start holding hands 2gether & walk to the lift & to the carpark to collect the cars. He can even wave gdbye to us when we say he goes back w/ them... he said ok!
Any idea if playgrps can hv tpt arranged to send them to & fro? will they allow 2yr old toddler to board the tpt w/o a parent except the bus asst auntie?

Chocbabe..Oh dear..Yup MUMMY RULES! Toddler tantrums are among the worse to handle! But looks like u got the hang of it..hehe!
Ah ger..Are there such school bus service? SO young can ride bus w/o parents meh? Dont think so leh..I think not so safe..plus the poor todd sure got some anxiety.
Personal opinion..I never like school buses..cos the young mix with the older kids..learn lots of bad habits, even foul language..in school they may pick up all these..but plus school buses..that's DOUBLE "bad stuff".

Ah ger..Wah it seems everywhere the childcare ctrs and PGs all full house..By the way, does yr mum live near yr place? They can fetch A to n fro school right? Guess u just hav to decide on the school..then go on wait list first..u never know sometimes parents withdraw their kids..so may have space for A.

Good morning mummies!
Hope all is well... busy with marking! tonnes of it! anyone wants to help???
After reading all your posts about our kiddos and the terrible two, I am thankful that Julian hasn't shown much of his defiance and rebellion
(Keeping my fingers crossed)He is relatively an easy boy. The only difference that I realised is his recent separation anxiety. He used to be able to attend Sunday School on his own for about 2 months. However, the past 2 weeks, he has been cranky and cried a bit before the teachers could settle him down. It's kind of strange cos I always think that he is coping and adapting well to the class. In fact, he was a model student to many teachers for the 1st 2 months when he was alone
Now, I am only worried about his language development... seems real slow... but not rushing him into it still... so far, only 'ah' for 'car', 'gr...' for 'girl', 'ba boo' for 'bubble','mmmm' for 'moon'. The clearest one is 'Jie jie' for 'my maid' (first word he learnt! Gosh!) and 'daur' for 'door'. That's about it. However, he cant relate these words with the items. (would automatically use these words upon seeing the items. won't call out to my maid also. We prompt then he repeats.)

babe, ur maid is finally back!!!
Sigh.... My gal is getting rebellious starts from this week! Dunno is it due to her fever last weekend, and still having some cough now. Stella, my happiness on her independence was shortlife too, as now she back to her koalaness to me, even worse, when i drive, she will want me to hold her hands and/or hug her! How to do that when i drive? So i just let her cried all the way home. haiz...
Then yday she refused to hug my aunt, uncle and cousin b4 she left with me. Normally she will do it happily and must hug each of them several times b4 she left. Dunno why...

smurfy, QY so cute... can express himself very well!
Hei... i also dunno why she is always so unsecure. Actually she shows some improvement a few weeks ago but since last weekend when she has fever then she starts to get real cranky and like to throw temper. I wonder is it due to the medicine? Seriously, i dun think i can be a sahm to look after the kids 24 hours. Think both me and the kids will go crazy. I am too impatient sometimes...
garfield, ya ya... Xi likes to repeat what we say and she likes to listen to adults' conversation. So we have been very careful when speak in front of her.

craving?? good news from you?? haha
Anyway I also have craving for chilli crab lately. My hubby promise to get it for me for my bday next week. Initially he say can only have 1 cos he already bought me a diamond ring, but that day my hse downstairs offer $15 for 3 crabs (small). So hopefully, the offer still available... When I had Ryan, I had lots and lots of chilli crab throughout the pregnancy cos my aunt's maid can cook chilli crab.
Grace,
Dun worry abt Julian. Boys usually slow in speech development. My cousin also spoke very late when he was a baby, but now also doing well in Catholic High.
Tell me about marking! I'm literally buried in my markings. My papers came in yesterday and I have 6 classes
gonna burn midnight oil tonight.

Mummies, thanks for the assurance
No pressure from our side but just wondering why he is a little slow... what more? He was attending a 5 month course with me at RELC while in my tummy. so to many, he was actually acquiring language already cos the lecturers talked and talked and talked non stop! Hahaha!
Oh, one clarification, he CANT relate words to items, only can pronounce the words when told...
Garfield, he calls maid 'jie jie' right from the start. maid also happy cos she will be younger like this mah... she is 24. Yah yah, I agree with you that kids are not kids when they are quiet
And ah, me gonna pop over to your dad's shop to stock up my chinese herbs and all... Hope your dad will give me a discount but I mustn't say I know 'Garfield' yah?
Chocbabe, $15 for 3 crabs is real cheap... Me too, had loads of crabs when I had Julian
But so many elderly said cannot eat. Who cares and who can resist??? I cant!
Marking is taking up a lot of my time. Let me tell you what I have: 5 sets of upper sec situational writing and 7 sets of upper sec summary! See, can die or not??? I don't know if I could complete them on time actually...

Marking is taking up a lot of my time. Let me tell you what I have: 5 sets of upper sec situational writing and 7 sets of upper sec summary! See, can die or not??? I don't know if I could complete them on time actually...

garfield,
My Ben also throws tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants. He'll lie on the ground and make lots of noise and kick around. Must have learnt from jie-jie.
Today he has a runny nose. Vomitted half his breakfast.
Last night for the first time, I put him to sleep on jie-jie's bed. Jie-jie slept on a sleeping bag on the floor. Had to do this cos Ben and Sarah have managed to jump on the cot too many times that they broke the STEEL base. Sent the base to a welder to be repaired. Hope the base can be done by today. If not the sleeping arrangements will be repeated again tonight.
My naughty boy also managed to scratch my hb's precious piano with a fork or something. Dunno how he managed to get to the piano beneath the protective vinyl cover, and so high up some more.
zz is still young lah, don't expect him to follow instructions yet. I'm sure he'll be able to listen to instructions by the time he's 2.
Ben can repeat what we say quite clearly. He's also very demanding.. "I want..." Learnt from jie jie also.
sunsweet,
Chilli crab - go to the corner of Still Road and Koon Seng Road. Famous coffee shop selling chili crab. ONly problem, parking.
GOG,
At least Julian can still say some words. Don't worry lah. Don't think it's a prob. Some kids are just a little slower in certain areas. I'm sure he's perfectly fine. He'll catch up soon enough and then you'll want him to shut up. If you're unsure, have you had him assessed by a speech or language therapist?
