Hi Springdance
WAH!! $1.5K just to register at Eton.. only for the rich and famous.. sigh! bbJ's daddy not very keen to invest in these early education programs much less pay thru the nose.
Are you thinking of enrolling yr bb into some learning/ childcare program? I'm thinking maybe wait till bbJ is abt 18-20 mths.. abt Jan 2009, then can put him on some play groups, 3 times a week, 2 or 3 hours each time.

Cindy! how are you??? Miss you & Caitlyn! gymboree class so boring without both of u! now the place become 'international' school already - claire and chloe the only local!
Ya, 9kg is actually the benchmark - but what PDs will tell u is triple the birth weight by 12mths.
Hmm... eton house is really expensive - wonder if its really that good? anyway, not like i have a chance to try coz my sis will 'bish' me if i enrol claire anywhere other than her sch!

hi mummies,
cher enjoys 'reading' books. i bought her those 'first words', 'food, transport, animals' etc.. when she sees pictures of bread n biscuits, she said 'armmmmmmmm'. wen she sees pictures of children, animals, soft toys, she 'kiss' them. so farni to watch her doing that.
Mrs Chia,

Yup…I would certainly feel it’s really quite ‘fan’ to face baby day in & day out…that’s why I’ve always ‘PeiFu’ SAHM…like you say, cannot even enjoy a good meal properly. Practically is eating just to survive rather than enjoying what you eat…. And so much baggage to bring when go out. Fortunately you got drive and also a maid at home to help around.
My boy also has been standing on tip toes…dunnoe is it becoz he get this bad habit becoz of sittin gin the walker… I think he’ll have LOATS of difficulty learning to walk…maybe he should go for Ballet classes ..so can learn to leap & hop around…LOLZZZZZ
Cool_D
Correction….Jonas cried when teacher attempt to put crown on him…anyway, he was already on the verge of crying liao when we first entered the room. Think suddenly being close up inside a room with so many people and all the singing, he couldn’t take it.
Like Kate says, he really need some time to warm up. Lucy the trial class is 1.5hrs…else if 45min, by the time he warm up, the class over liaoz.
Kate
You not ‘lor sor’ lar…you like to share your thoughts & experience only mah…which I appreciate.
Huh…it never dawn upon me that little Glynnis can be shy also lei…why you say that?
Joeyan
I ever ‘Jioed’ the mummies here for a trial class for positive babies at Great World….my fren’s daughter who attended says it’s GOOD. But not enuf people that time so cancelled. You interested? The website is : www.positivefocus.com.sg
BlueRoti
Oh I know this shop…their Carrot Cake is well-known! But the price is quite ex like you say….The Animal Farm cake is nice…agree with MichK that you should get the matching balloon decors & banner.
Wah…you order almost one month in advance they also can’t do more designs for you ah…so busy meh..hmmm…do they charge you delivery costs?
Mrs Chia
Not planning to enrol Jonas in Playschool until he’s after 2 year old ba… but have heard about the expensive & well-known Eton house from friends so KPO just ring up to check…coz got one outlet quite near my house….not going for it definitely after knowing the price.
Btw, I heard that for popular schools like Nanyang Kinder or St James…need to register & waitlist like 2years in advance else can’t get a place!!
Michele
Hmmm...maybe you should find a dance partner for Claire too since the birthday party resembles a wedding...

CaiCai: Welcome back from your trip... I had been to Cambodia before. Seeing so many people (children and adults) limbless and begging was quite difficult to do... The children there like to say one thing to us foreigners..."1 dolla! 1 dolla!". One time we saw a girl (about 8?) playing on the roadside w a puppy. We stopped to chat. She looked at us innocently and sweetly, but when we rose to go, she said "1 dolla!"...
SprD: Thanks for your compliments
I'm glad that at least one person (you!) think I'm not lorsor...
Did I write that little Glynnis is shy? No lah, I never say that wor.p *don't be angry w me Dreamygal* I remember last time dreamygal said that Glynnis is very friendly and uninhibited w anyone but she will not let most people carry her except her parents and a few trusted caregivers(grandparents I think. Then my friend's DD also same "pattern". So I was wondering out loud if this pattern is more shy or sociable behaviour.

<font color="aa00aa">Dear Mummies, any nice poolside Alfresco dining places to recommend?</font>
For Lele's 1st year Bday, hub and I decided to keep it small-scaled. Just a simple dinner at the pool-side where Lele will take his first dip...
Any good poolside Alfresco (indoor also can) dining places to recommend?

some kids dun ask for money , they ask for sweets . some ask for food . as a mummy , myself , i think that my son is very fortunate to be born in Spore . to live a pampered life in aircon places / to eat at restaurants / to study at pre-schools , enrichment programmes while some of the kids there , dun even hv a decent meal to eat . things that we take for granted in Spore are really tough issues in a poverty stricken ctry

Taitai,
Ya i agree Similac like increasing their prices every quarter rite? Every 3 months i go and stock up price change again... sigh..
Schoolbus:
My friend's niece started kindergarten ( i think its St James, or one of the church along that row) and she lives in Senja. The crazy thing is that her school bus takes 45 mins! She is the first to board the bus to school, and last to alight from bus from school. I think must really check the route the bus is travelling otherwise by the time the poor child returns from school will be starving. My friend said she never saw her niece so hungry and finished her lunch without prompting and shouting.

Woah thanks! If my boy is a Prince…..that makes me Queen.
Hmm…so prince must wear what? LOLZZZZ
Joeyan
If private class, they can do a weekend one….so can do if we can ‘jio’ enuf people to go…but I think coming month is not a good idea since many will be busy with 1st birthday parties on weekends…quite unlikely get enuf response I think.
Sanrio
Wow…so it’s true that the waitlist is sooo long!!! Well, this means we must register NOW to get into these schools... But both Nanyang & St James not really convenient to our house…so not so sure if it’s a good idea to send my boy there….long travel journey by public transport.
Dlim
Not quite sure why they are so popular…BRANDED I guess…If I am not wrong…I think also got affiliation to famous primary schools…Sanrio might probably know more about them.

SpringDance,
No problem, maybe we can target mummies from other months too so that we can gather enuf numbers if we don't have enuf from April mummies. So excited... bbO loves to go for classes and i notice the change in him after every class. He used to dislike being around strangers and could never stand having a stranger near his face, much less carry him. Nowadays its better so I am so excited to enrol him into regular class, BUT cannot decide which one...
