We still haven't played with latterns yet.

Cos we have no candles.

I really like the idea of walking about though, may do it tom when I can find the candles!
Anna's school's mid-autumn celebration was quite fun. The teachers were all very sporting to dress up and put up a play on Chang2 Er2 and Hou4 Yi4 with the 10 suns. I've forgotten about this fairytale already. And her school really has lots of kids of other races - lots of japs, ang mohs, some mixed with chinese mums etc - that I think chinese is the minority!
Yvonne: Did you bring Sam to the dr? Ulcers in children don't sound too good to me. Could be HDMF. Hope she gets well soon. Take care.
QQ: When it was Ayden's time, I thot of pasting their name labels on the bottles. But can these labels withstand the temperature of sterilisation? I scared they'll release toxic leh.
Today I asked Anna if she can give her milk bottles to meimei (same trick I used with her pacifier), at first she nodded her head, then she started whining.

Just before her bedtime, I saw her happily drinking water and biting the straw from a cup.

The straw is the damn hard type, and she still managed to bite it flat.
QQ, Star: Good thing anna doesn't embarrass us when outside although I do fart in front of her at home - preggie lah, lots of gas.. But she likes to get hubby and I to kiss each other and smiles when we do. When hubby comes home from work or from outside, she'll ask him "papa, go kiss mummy", and if she sees me, she'll say "mummy, go kiss papa".. So we must kiss each other in front of her to stop her demands. Haha..
Astro: I know which one you're talking about. Tommy Tippee. I saw the bottles too, wah, really looks like the whole breast. Since the design is so unique, do u think got to buy their steriliser too just in case the bottles can't fit into other brands?
Autum: I quite like pigeon actually. Was another brand for consideration like Nuk. Having started on Avent with Anna, am not used to using other brands bottles.
Actually the reason for defaulting to Avent with Ayden was cos I had some NB and #1 teats and bottles leftover from Anna's time. I bought in preparation for his arrival, but as usual, we received quite a few more from his presents. So now I still have quite a lot of BN Avent #1 teats and BN small bottles. and it looks like I will be defaulting to Avent bottles with Arielle again. Haha..
Agree that mummy's weight has little bearing on bb's weight. I put on more for anna, but ayden came out heavier than her. 3.17 kg vs 3.43 kg.
Bunny: Your boy has so much hair! *envious*
Enjoy this stage when he's so docile.
Ayden is very very notti now. If we don't give in to his demands, he'll kick up a huge fuss. His T2 behavior is much earlier and way more extreme than Anna's. He could lie on the floor with his legs kicking.

At this rate, I could be faced with 3 kids going through T2-T3..

HELP!!!
Your mum's behavior is quite extreme and sounds kind of imbalance to me. Don't mind me asking, where's your dad?
QQ: Rub Ruyi oil. It's really effective and the kids love it. Whenever anna has tummyache, she will request to have ruyi oil rubbed on her tummy.
Mejo: I like your poem. I pray and hope my children will turn out ok.
Yvonne: Maybe Sam has got sore throat too. So eating and swallowing the bread (something harder) "scratches" the soreness and soothes the irritation. You can continue to give her bread and rice. Rice works very well for adults. Swallow entire spoonsful without chewing, it really soothes the throat by gently scratching the soreness. You go try.
Pax: Hope you get good news on the bag and contents.
