(2007/03) March 2007 MTBs

bbgirl: which walker u using? the playskool one.. too fast for teng.. he can't hold on properly.. will fall obne.. then the stupid roller on top.. he engrossed with fiddling with it.. can't move..!! the chairs.. if i let him push it all the time. very soon my floor will get scratched ah!

Sigh. i think girls really do mature a lot faster then boys. that day , i saw a 10mth plus girl.. walking liao ah!! almost running leh.. then my nearing 11mth boy , siting happily in his stroller, eating.. haiz.. then plus he so heavy.. most of the time.. using body weight to push the chair.. instead of use arms to push.. faint..

BUT

already good effort on his part.. joelle always say i criticised the boy only. not encouraging.. what he aceived.. i say it is due. and not happy over it.. what cannot acheived yet.. will keep picking on it.. if she was teng, also dun want to perform liao lah!!.. ha.. makes sense.. i should stop being so critical..haha..
 


Astro: I know.. It's like I'm anticipating that day to happen, hoping it never comes, yet knowing it will.. **Sigh**

Oh really? I always give her my thumbs to hold onto when she approaches me. Just that I don't remember if she was holding onto my finger or palm when we was walking just now.. Ok.. Tom I hold her by the fingers and see if she's still capable of walking..

I tell u something.. See if you dare to try with teng. Give him your 2 thumbs to hold onto and then you lift him up and off the ground - no other support from you. Try on your bed. This will train up his muscles and strength.. We do this with anna a lot..
 
bbgirl: i meant the name of the fisher and price table..

yalah. my fault lah. since young never really foster his independence..coz too kan cheong.. must watch over him.. plus my mum.. double trouble..

ignore the family unit and the other one. just jump straight to the development standards.. divided into many areas.. click on all the areas to read lah. interesting..

http://school.familyeducation.com/baby/child-development/30755.html?detoured=1

i use it more for 'consolation'.. coz when moody over teng's gross motor.. will click on other areas when he is not bad.. at least happier.. haha. self deceiving..
 
bbgirl: ehh. ok.. i think no problem for him. but problem for me ah.. he heavy ah.. wait fracture my thumbs ah! :p

i think still can one lah.. in any case.. rely on walker better lah.. :p..u wun want to create the dependence.. very siong..:p
 
Astro: I think girsl are faster when they're younger. But boys catch up when they're in sec schools. You know, they say girls are more manipulative than boys. Boys/Men are simple creatures to understand. Girls/Women, on the other hand, is a fortified mystery.
And people also say the road with boys after 12 is all uphill. But with girls, it goes downhill in accelerating velocity after 18.. I think so lor...

bbgirl: i was reading the archives the other day. then saw ur post to SQ abt being 'fake' when teaching kids..telling not to do something when u dun believe it in? .. think u worrying too much. coz ultimately.. everyone of us still good mah.. though have short comings.. and the fact that want to avoid the bb to have the short comings.. shows that u aware.. not 'fake' like what was idcussed lah
happy.gif
 
Astro: You must try it out to see if he can do it.. Becos that shows he's able to hold onto his own weight.. I saw this in a book and disbelieve it. But the baby is really capable of holding onto her weight frm a very, very young age..

I go read your link first.. Mom..

Hey, you wanted the leapfrog link..

Here it is.. www.leapfrog.com.. For our babies, littletouch is the system to get.
 
bbgirl: haha.. i agree also.. i like the way u put it.. mystery already very complicated liao.. fortified somemore..haha :p

on boys maturing faster than girl.. i hope so... so i await the day when teng can outrun anna in the hundred metres dash!! haha :p
 
bbgirl: "I go read your link first.. Mom..".. u calling me mom?! whahaha!!

ehh. thanks. i was talking abt the spree that huajing was talking abt .. same url?
 
so now. u can be slightly happy that anna is dropping her toys and expecting u to pick it up. coz shows that she has demonstrated competence in 'discovering her world' and making expected things happen.. :p

heehee .iknow lah. u worry abt it being a habit lah..
 
astro,
ya.. is good to have reserve... but, she don slim down even she is sick... this is the most worry part... last time she was having flu for more den 1mth... but her weight still picking up veri fast... scary? i m veri worried she really become obese baby... i already cut down alot of rice liao... if u see my porridge, u will onli see fish flakes and veg... no rice... lol... its too little to be seen...

QQ,
wah... if u see the chart at bel's health booklet, u will laugh... cos the dot is out of line... and is really ALOT out of line... i was laughing non stop when i see the nurse searching for a line tt can measure her percentile... den she manage, she straight away say: WAH, SHE OVERWEIGHT! haiz...
 
Yvonee: when is the last time? coz skali is at the point in time when she is having growth spurt? now. not so liao.. or u want her get stomach flu to slim down? :pP

that senario u described to QQ,, i seen it happening many times liao.. most o fthe time. i tell them dun bother to mark it down for me.. when i see them tryin gto.. coz i know. confirmed out one.! :p
 
astro,
cos they need to record the percentile... so, they need to mark it down...
happy.gif
easier for other GP/PD/nurse to see ma...
happy.gif
when was the time hah... straight after birth! wahahaha...
 
AStro: Some books I ordered were less than half their prices before.. And that was only a few days ago! In a vain attempt to lower the average cost, I've order the system and books for the next stage as well.. Siao liao..

Her dropping things? I read that babies will do that when they learn about object permanence. Yah lah.. Actually I want to teach her abt consequences - I let her drop it and pick it up a few times. Then I'll tell her that if she drops it again, mummy is not going to pick it up anymore. And I have to mean it. Then, she'll learn this way. Just like if I tell her not to pull my hair, I will let her do it a few more times. But if she continually ignores my stern warnings, I will beat her little hand. This way, she learns..
Actually I'm quite good when it comes to analysing human character leh.. For babies that is cos they act what they mean.. No hidden agendas..
 
Yvonne: Can encourage Bel to do more activities? Like encourage her to jump about and crawl around more? This way, she'll burn more energy and will out on less weight? Makes sense or not? I mean adults also exercise to lose weight..
 
babygirl,
she jump and crawl quite alot this few days... till she sweat... machiam just had a bath... maybe she caught cold this way... but den, i did tried giving her more activities... hold her hands to walk, let her crawl around on her bed, support her den she jump, but den, still nv lose weight lei... onli her weight nv put on so fast...
sad.gif
 
bbgirl: yalah. what i meant was.. allow her to drop till she happy liao. then teach her abt consequences.. provided the thing is safe.. coz dilemma here.. on one hand, want them to explore.. on the other, need teach them consequence.. dilemma lor

yvonne: yalor.. straight after birth,, grow spurt mah!! hahaha :p.. now wun liao. u want to test? come my place..s tomach flu bug.. let bel play with the bug lah :p
 
yvonne: bbs wun lose weight per say. but weight will stagnate.. then height will catch up.. end up 'lose weight' lor.. if suddenly see the weight drop ah.. then need to worry liao

Remember someone ask that she have 1/2 set to let go, may I know who ha? or anyone wanted to share with me 1/2 set?
 
Astro: Hmm... You allow Teng to do something until he is happy, then you "interfere" and teach him a lesson.. I set the pace with anna. I interfere while she's still enjoying it..
happy.gif
Maybe this is how we have different parenting style.

Yvonne: I think Bel is v tall leh.. She's a big-sized but well-proportioned baby.. So don't have to worry..
happy.gif
 
yvonne: very tall liao lah.. teng only 78 cm hor.. and u look at my height vs ur height? :p:p

huajing: ya.. spot it liao.. chiam. now i very nervous.. coz i blur abt sprees.. haha :p
 
bbgirl: dun really understand the definition of interfere.. coz for me.. ehh. i must see what he is doing first.. if totally out of way accepted. then i interfere straight away.. regardless happy or not.. but if trying to explore.. say pick up a coin from the floor.. then i will let him.. even though i know got threat of swallowing it.. coz me around.. and he needs to explore and fine tune his fine motor mah. so in this sense i let him be happy first.. then i take the coin away ..(interfereing)
 
yvonne: and with they way u ask.."Tall enough?".. u want bel be giant.. like me ah? edde will laugh at her one leh.. !! whahaha.. *Winks at Edde*
 
bbgirl: i see. i thought what u talking.. around there lah.. coz me impatient kind.. i will remove the toy when he dropped till TOO happy.. haha
 
Wah.. It's getting late.. I better get to sleep soon.. Good nite mums and babes..

Astro: If you want to order, u got to send a PM to the organiser. Cos you also can't post in the overseas spree. OR you can get one of the mummies here wo can to do it for you.. Nite nite..
 
huajing: i think can't.. thanks for the offer to help..
happy.gif
.. hmm think wun order this time round.. i no head no tails.. blur. skali buy wrong things. end up more ex.. hee :p

yvonne: yalah. v tall liao lah.. then also must calculate BMI one lei.. but i think bel still over in terms of BMI coz teng 78 cm, wiehgt think slightly less than 12.. BMI already over.. so think bel also over.. :p

star: u ok? get this feeling u upset over Rae's refusal drink FM?

babygirl, buy cloth or board books?! clever idea! i nvr tot of it..

astro, yvonne, i wont luff at bel lah, i envious dou1 lai2 bu4 ji2 leh... if only bel can transfer her extras to anthea... anyhow, its better to hv an overwt baby than an underwt baby.
happy.gif


star, anthea's feet is only 9-9.5cm.. dats why i order medium, which is even too big for her now.. maybe its genetic? coz i hv small feet(size 5-6). you hv small feet too?
 
edde/baby girl: rae loves her cloth book, cos can make crinkly sound and she can attempt to tear and fling them violently around and the "book" still remains intact..heheh
 
edde: haha.. not clever idea.. but it's u too used to paperbooks liao.. haha. me also. till i tell myself. no longer a teacher.. haha! :p

hmmm. did u read up on my links on developmental standards? if everything progressing well. then it
s alright?? then anthea is lighter..
 
star, astro, yeah.. maybe i too used to it liao.. coz book = made of paper mah.. haha...

i am reading the site now...
 
star: yo!! saw me?!!.. haha.. ok. anyway.. i want to say also. that day bought teng buy the pi pi shoes.. his length not that long.. but the width hor.. the highest part of the foot to the sole. quick thick ah. must fit into size 15 ah!.. faint.. hee :p
 
Astro: i think the packet of barley i gave you is hulled barley leh.. cos i noticed that it has little skin that was peeling out/flapping out after boiling. My regular barley dun have this outter "skin" on them. what do u think?

Were u asking me how i fed the FM to rae? I gave it to her both in her straw cup as well as a bottle.. both she violently rejected! I will continue to try again tomorrow lah. The way she is reacting, i wonder if the Dumex FM taste really that bad!
I think tomorrow i will get a similac Stage 2 FM sample from my PD for her to try instead!
