cindy,
kaizer's rattle book has more or less disintegrated, though he's still fishing it out of his toy bin to bite it. hahaa. i enjoy buying books for him also, definately a lot more than buying toys (our toy collection at home is pathetic, as compared to a lot of the other april bbs). good thing that he likes to flip and play with his books more than his toys when he's at home with us.
yeah, hopefully can go with you and caitlyn again. must sit down and eat with you too, so that you can tell us all abt your trip!

Milo: ya DIY - it's my "latest" hobby but i dunno when my "passion" will die. Just saw someother new fun hobby but must see if can get the materials or not - if cannot then forget it Anyway I just ordered one batch of clips from US - hopefully they won't rust before i finish with them, cuz i think half way i may just lose my zest
caicai: anything from 30 min to 3 hours. If we make her miss her 10am nap, she will nap for 2 to 3 hours from 1230 to 1pm. cuz like now her KM class, if she dun nap by 930am, then we will try to keep her awake then go for class and then to my mum's house and let her sleep. Normally like this she can sleep for 2 to 3 hours straight. If she gets her nap at 930am she can nap from 30min to 1 hour. then she will nap from 2pm to 3 pm from 30 min to 1 hour again. She usually sleeps by 8pm, but these days she can tong until 9 to 10pm before she gives up.

caicai: wah .. wat time does your son wakes up? how come he can power boost for so long?
Normally we will try to tire her out - like now she wants to walk, we let her walk! then weekends we bring her swimming mah, so let her play with water for 30 mins then we go back then wind down liao - have her dinner in front of the TV for 15 mins then go to room and play a little (she and the maid will go and play with the clothes - maid pack she dig out everything) then 6 plus 7, we go walk the dogs, the 8 plus she will have her milk then sleep.

springdance,
its definitely a good idea not to bring jonas along to a place like HK... it was really very stressful... (though of course i know what you mean when you say you will miss your darling) if i ever wants to bring lele out for holiday again, i'll be less ambitious this time, maybe just go to Bintan or Genting can liao..

oh no , suisui , that sounds like u did not hv a good travel experience wif ur baby . anyway , there is alwys the first time , things will improve wif each trip
milo , i still pondering , very tempted to sign up for GUG since mrs lai mentioned abt vacancies . but my fren was telling me , it is abit too early to send him there + he is pretty shy , so i dun think lessons @GUG will be beneficial to him . then again , i am still looking around
ya , michele is right , that long hair bespectacled mummy is xen , wif a lil gal
but then again , many long hair mummy that day leh , hahaha.

i guess i didnit fully get to enjoy the 'chi dong shi, mai dong shi' part of HK alot lo.. cos alot of places very hard to go, like those small eateries which serve cheap and nice food, all so cramp and of course no baby chair.. shopping also limited.. cos the exciting shopping is the street shopping ma, bring baby to those streets shopping very ma fan, its crowded and cant even find toilets.. and finding a place to feed her also diff... overall, my baby seems to have fun, alot of things to see, and many of us to play with her, but she is totally tired out, not enough sleep, cos we just carry or sling her while she naps.. and maybe nap for 30 mins only... mealtime also haywire, and by third day there, her lower eyelids actually abit red, see alr also sim tia.. so for me, i feel that i worry about meeting her needs so much during the trip that i couldnt enjoy myself lo.. thank goodness got disneyland, where we all had fun... and its definitely baby firendly, clean, big toilets with big nursery changing area and got aircon somemore! after a day of fun at disneyland, i even bathe my baby in the toilet basin!
cool daughter,
cruise definitely fun place to bring baby there...
sanrio,
lele didn't cry or what on the flight, but she hates to be buckled up and wants to move around, she just cannot sit still.. thats where its difficult to manage, cos she keeps fidgeting.. and how to let her roam around on the plane??? aiyo, so end up have to keep entertaining her, distracting her with snacks, books, toys etc etc.. super tired for us... lucky my mil and sil were there too, help me and hubby entertain her too lo...
aussie will really be fun, esp if you choose those nice weather season, less stressful if you can drive and rent an apartment there too right? then can cook also.. not like me in HK.. aiyo... want to find a decent place to sit down and feed lele also difficult!

Cool_d,
Welcome back!
Sanrio,
Yes, I know. Michele told me a few mummies like u, Gene, SW are using.
I tested it out when we were at the picnic & it was very good! Thumbs up!!
So I decided to get one too.
Min,
Yes, confirm cheaper if u order from Baby center. So u wanna order? I want to get
one so that when we are shopping or holiday, can use it since the maximum weight
can go up to 18kg.
Agreed, Jayden is so active in walking but sometimes, he juz want to be carried.
He is getting really heavy now so I hope this ergo can help. Anyway, still can re-use
if im planning for 2nd bb...
milo,
Sure, count u in.
Ergo Carrier
Anyone still interested else I will ask Michele to help to order soon...
