leia denies bcos she knows she'll be punished if she told the truth. i dun think she's being dishonest, she jus dun wan to be punished. but seriously, do u punish her if she scribble on wall or carpet?
only when they r older (say 4yo), they know wat is dishonesty. for now, our kids won't know

autum, u asking abt the blank flashcard? its 300gsm, 100pcs for $2+/3 i think.. cant remember.. not very thick, can pass thru printer.. why? u wana use for scrapbooking?? might be too thin for it.. if u want i still hv a few packs..
irin, yvonne, ash, i hv been adding zhen zhu mi with normal rice for anthea's porridge. must soak for 10 min before cooking so that it will soften faster. but the zhen zhu mi i buy is not pearl rice, its australian calrose rice from NTUC.
enne, anthea also still hasnt got any insurance coverage yet due to her kidneys..
QQ, all the best for tmr!

Pinkpink,
I seriously don't think they know what's dishonest now. Sometimes they won't tell the truth cos they think it's funny. Reyden will always tell me "meimei" whenever he spoils something. And Reyes will tell me "meimei" even when she's not the one. They'll laugh and giggle after that then I know it's not the truth liao.

pink,
at their age, i won't consider it as dishonest. cos they probably still not 100% sure of what they are saying, and not 100% sure of what you are asking. it's hard to truly understand how they think and comprehend at this age. They might be scared, so they just say out all the people who are close to them (as in looking to these people for assurance).
or maybe she wants these people to draw together with her on the carpet. ie. not comprehending your question at all, but just knowing it's something related to carpet.
That's how i would feel and not continue to press for answer because i know the answer is 'wrong'.. i will just emphasize that it's wrong to draw on the carpet (which is the main issue). doesn't matter who draw.. be it Leia, Rina, Popo or Mama.. u know what i mean?

edde,
hmm.. i will KIV. not to use for SB la. siao.. i m trying to do something for EJ. but now i use cheapskate method. I got a vanguard sheet, and ask my maid to cut! haha.. cos she is quite eng at home in the day.. so I ask her to cut. One pc of vanguard is 30cts nia. Can cut to 32pc of cards. the size is smaller than A5.. more like the size of those debate-cards but longer.

edde, pax,
i was about to say the same thing about the glutinuous rice - make dumplings!
edde,
not that I very on la. actually it was Mr Wong's idea. He read a book somewhere that teaches how to make your own play-word-cards. The idea is to get the child to recognise the words. Cos now EJ can only recognise pictures.. like if he see a pic of bananas, he will immediately say "banana".. but if he see the word, he dunno. So hopefully can try this method. then i m thinking should do chinese words as well.. but we both can't write.. that's why for chinese words, i m thinking of printing (thus i thought of your blank-cards).. or buy pre-printed cards.

HJ,
you should get it when the loan is approved and when you start to pay for it.
Pinkpink,
did you tell her sternly or smack her hands? Cos I think some kids "chi ying bu chi ruan". Like Reyden, we cannot use the soft tactic with him, he'll think we are joking. Must make my hb shouts/scolds him then he'll remember.

talk abt flashcard, two weeks ago I brought out the ABC flashcard we bought long long time ago, I mix all the alpha, randomly pick and show Elisha, so surprise she can recognise and say out all alpha except P,N and T. I always thot my girl is very slow and she can’t talk/recognise.
Lesson learn: Dun under estimate your kid.

if notti corner works, then u shld put her there if she draws on the carpet or wall. if it doesn't, u got to reinforce. if she draws at the wrong place, tell her "Leia, dun draw there, mommy give u some paper to draw. if not, i hv to take away ur crayons etc." this tactic also work for me.
HJ
i feel still not right time to buy yet, but all these frantic buying is causing "panic", so end up a lot of pple buying. i think many still hvn't feel the effects of recession

Autum,
whey!! You asked me to find leh and my mum says these are the ingredients my grandma puts in the nyonya dumplings. It looks simple enough bah? Maybe I'll try it myself, hope won't turn out a disaster.
You know what? I went to get sago, gula melaka, sea coconut and coconut milk on Sunday but those things still lying around.
