Speech
Wairah is able to make up sentences using 2-3 words.. very chatty and will mimic Lis.
She can count up to ten.. and will follow after Lis from eleven to twenty..
Guess having an elder sibling does helps to some extend, cos Wairah tends to copy Lissy’s conversation with me.

 

[ling4016]

we went on 28 Feb at 3pm. Only 3 kids only. You went at 1pm right? She didnt attend the last wk cos Im down with stomach flu. Now thinking whether to continue anot... Your gal attend LNT where?

 

[tinsel_elf]

hi ling0416: 3p.m....no wonder i didn't see u. ya, mine's 1p.m. class. the 3pm class is a new class, thus mayb not so many pple. my girl's attending lnt at hougang branch on fri evening. like i said, these are different schools lo. if u juz want ur gal to build up on social intraction skills, kids' loft would be more suitable...my personal opinion la. u can oso try some gym schools or kindermusik etc.

 

[kth]

mattsmummy: I also heard that kids tend to talk faster when they go to school but not sure if it applies to my son

Think I will still let him attends & see how bah

ju: You must be crazy to miss being preggie so fast!!! I am sure you will have more to come..hehe

mei: Ayden is cute! Did he pick up more words ever since he attended childcare?

cheok: Good to know that Shayne has picked up more words

Don't worry too much about his height, he's still too young. As you have said, both u & hubby are tall, I am sure Shayne will grow tall too. I intend to make Kaizer play more basketball if he's a shortie (both me & hubby are shortie too).

 

[lynndome]

Hi all....have been a silent reader all these while...Im started on leave since Monday...hence decided to come in and chat...

Well, I only knows a handful of mummies here..those pioneer batch i guess..

I will be delivering my 2nd baby next week! Jus send my boy to child care on Monday...reali heartpain to send him there. Went to fetch him at 6pm+ yesterday and he was already crying....think he saw other parent are fetching the kids and we are nowhere in sight.

Btw, did any of ur kids reject milk? My son started to reject milk lately..not sure whether is it becos in protest of us sending him to child care...he jus don't wana drink milk anymore...tat's worrying ar. Any advice pls?

Wrt to LNT, I have signed him up for a term. He left with 3 lessons before the terms ends. Erm...I would say the course is not suitable for my boy cos he is so restless! there are a couple of time he just threw tantrums and we have no choice but to bring him out of the classroom in order not to disturb the rest. We have a hard time prolonging his attention in the class. However, I saw the other kids...they reali can sit down there silently and enjoy the class. arrggh...i find myself wasting money

 

[angellee]

Hi Ling (lynndome)!

Long time no see!!! U're expecting ur 2nd one?? Tt's cool!

I also dun bear to send my boy to school yet.. cos I scare he kena bully there and dunno how to say..hehe..

Kayden is only drinking his milk twice a day! He will ask for milk the first thing he wakes up in the morning and the last thing before he goes to sleep and the doc says it's ok with this so I am not forcing him for milk.

Take care!

 

[lings]

hi ju, kth, ling and angel!

ya really been lurking ard haha!

kth, hmm can say much more better in expressing himself but not really know hw to speak properly yet

ling, thats fast!!!
rejecting of milk is quite common for the 1st few days.. just let them be.. wait till they really hungry they will ask for it

no need worry too much ya..

angel, i oso tot of that coz he doesnt know hw to talk yet and mainly on baby language but they will know hw to express themselves more once they're in playgroup or childcare

 

[kth]

ling: Good to see u here!!! Time really flies & u are going to pop soon! Rem to keep us informed once your ger ger is out

Give Sean some time to adapt, I am sure he will soon.

mei: Good to know that Ayden can say much more better after attending sch.

angel: How are you!! I noticed the mummies from the pioneer batch are coming in more liao!

 

[angellee]

Hi Mei2,

Caught me huh.. hahaha~~

I agree with you.. maybe they can articulate better when they go to school but if I can delay tt, I will! Haha.. give him more childhood days la.. the education road is long in Singapore..

I am very free now as I am serving my notice now.. tmr will be my last day of work and I will have a week's rest before I start my new job! So I can start posting here!

 

[angellee]

Hi kth:

You're right!!! Any part time assignments for me??? hehe..

 

[lings]

kth, @ 1st i was so afraid he cant cope with the new environment.. @ the same time wan him to learn more or kinda communicate with others coz if my in laws still lookin after him he will basically have little understanding of english

angel, keke i got no choice to put him @ centre coz MIL is looking after SIL's 2nd child hee scare she cant cope.. but after all they are still playing and not really learning anything beside singing songs and dancing ard

Thanks.

 

[bedebe]

hello mummies

congrats ling on your #2!

wow...when you mentioned pioneer mums...i started wrecking my brain thinking who's who...i remember jules, yolksac, 4ever, renz, ling, mei, peck, elyn, bcube, bpc...the rest erm...can't remember le...v bad memory hey where are you all?

btw there's been another scam- the ped egg one...quick go read if kpo...bp organiser alleges s/he is a victim of supplier but everyone doubts so...read and conclude for yourself be careful everyone when buying online here or anywhere else

thanks for the info on using the rod. i'm not keen to use it on her so early...think veve's mostly cheeky but i dunno what to do with when she tears books deliberately :|

btw...has anyone progressed to letting their tods sleep in toddler beds? i think i need to convert her cot into a single bed already...prob need to use bed rail guard and maybe a mattress to catch her if she falls.

cheok...dun worry la...the tallest girl in my pri sch class has remained the same height ever since. they're all still growing and nothing's definite till adulthood

nor...congrats on the sale of your flat. was the buyer from SMH?

 

[nor]

<u>Little Lady</u>
Last night i asked Wairah to brush her teeth and the little lady said “NO!” and look away.
So I assertively said “you have to brush your teeth NOW” and hand her brush to her.
She took her brush and flung it into the toilet bowl!!! I flipped! I can feel my ears burning as I stared at her!
Gosh!! She glanced but dared look at me after that. Then I saw her sobbing.
I squat down to her level and told her “do not throw it into the toilet bowl, understood?” and she mumbled “yesh”
I really don’t know how else to re-act with this little missy… sigh!
but on the lighter side of things, my tolerance level has significantly increased with the 2 girls on hand..


Bedebe, the buyer is from the agent’s contact.. I think some smh mommies did call my agent to enquire but I’m not sure if they did view my place.

hey, veve's been tearing books on purpose? how do you deal with that?

I went to kepo in the Ped Egg thread.. very “interesting” huh!
Moral of the story, there is always a risk in buying stuff online.. and the sellers also have to be aware of how garang the smh mommies.

 

[ichigo07]

hello Renz =)

 

[tinsel_elf]

nor: congrats on ur super fast sale!! i absolutely agree on the tolerance level part which u've mentioned...mine has also increased significantly!!! but sometimes really cannot tahan especially when k seemed to test my limits when i have repeatedly told her not to do a certain act.

bedebe: tears books deliberately?? how did u react? think its juz a phase, it'll pass pretty soon.

ling4016: wat time is kids' loft? mine's at 1pm. if we're in the same class, can go for chicken rice after class...lol

 

[ling4016]

hee..mine at 3pm. No slots for 1pm liao. then only 3-4 kids at that class

This story was published in Wan Bao

Attempted child kidnap at Toa Payoh Central!

Today, my dad and I brought my 2 kids to the Toa Payoh central. I
went to deposit money in the bank and my dad brought my children to
play the "floor stepping game". There were only 2 of them
playing there and my dad was standing about 1meter away watching
them. My dad told me that a aunty hold my girl hand and drag her away, saying "come we go home liao".

My dad didn't stop her immediately. He wanted to see what she is going to
do. When she dragged my girl about 4 steps, my dad came and stopped
her. This time she showed her true colors - she din know my dad was my girl's grandfather. She told him " sorry I'm in a hurry, need to go home" &amp; kept dragging my girl. My dad stopped her again and told her she was his grandchild. Another woman came and pretended to scold the aunty who was dragging my girl away &amp; then went in to the NTUC supermarket. Be careful as this might happen to any children. Always keep an eye on ur children when u bring them out.

 

[star_eliz]

bedebe
Megan has her own QUEEN size mattress on the floor beside my bed, but she will always crawl up in the middle of the night!!
Once she's asleep, i will carry her down again. hahaa.. Maybe i shd "shift" her to her room instead.

Tearing of Book
Megan does it when i read those flip books? I think its more of she being rough.
I'll just explain to her and express displeasure when she does that.
She seems to understand and gives me the sorry look.
5mins later, she's back at it again! Dang!!


Jenn
That's a very scary story!! I seldom leave megan to play by herself.
Usually helper will be ard but i must relate this to her..

 

[judy_lsk]

Hi Jenn,

The 2 years old girl mentioned in the article is actually my good friend's daughter (Dillyis) My friend is quite active in another parenting forum.
From that incident onwards, my friend dare not leave them alone in public area anymore when her father is not around with them.

 

[zypto]

<font color="0000ff">bedebe</font>
And me! haha... I've been MIA from this thread for a long long time... seldom pop into this thread also as i've really been v occupied with work and handling 2 kids, plus (really no thanks) helper problems.


<font color="aa00aa">Re: schooling</font>
Hazel started attending full day childcare in Feb. It's already 5 weeks and she is slowly settling into the routine. Her elder bro is in the same CC, which helps to ease separation anxiety a little... yep I think a little only as my boy doesn't really know how to comfort her. She cries v badly in the morning when we send her to CC, and in the evening when we go to fetch her. Other than that, she is doing well, eating, sleeping and playing fine. Although I still very heartache to hear her cry (glad that the cranky period is finally over), I still don't regret sending her to CC so early. Her speech is quite developed now, being able to speak a proper sentence of 5-6 words at least.


<font color="ff0000">Nor,</font>
Nice shots of your gals!
We just had a photoshoot with Hart last weekend! Hee... just got the photos in the online gallery for selection. All the photos look so lovely, I'm gonna have a hard time selecting!

 

[bedebe]

hello mummies

omg...such child abduction still exists! actually veve was also almost abducted at changi airport a couple of weeks back.

as usual, she didn't wanna hold my hand to walk...but i was just a couple of steps away. we were outside bengawan solo at t3 waiting for dad to make payment. one of three indian women smiled at veve while at the shop then they all left. a while later, that lady walked up to veve and carried her and tried to hug and kiss her. YIKES! but i was just an arm's length away. i quickly grabbed veve away and i was too shocked to shout at her. she walked away and i was still too shocked to say anything, then dad came and said he would have kicked up a ruckus if he were present. anyway, parents...hold onto your children tightly, dun let them out of your sight ever! it's crazy times...who knows what crazy things people will do!

abt book tearing...veve doesn't deliberately take a book off the shelf to tear. it's more like while reading, she mishandled the book and tears it a bit. BUT she doesn't stop despite knowing that it's not the right thing to do. she continues to tear thinking her mama is a dumbo or what. that's what gets me mad. one time i sat her in her highchair in the living room and made her face our bedroom doors. she went mama...open the door please :| (i was in the living room) tell me what to do with my cheeky fella?

eliz...wow...such a big space for megan! veve's in her own room half the night then she'll call for mama to bring her to my bed :| i'm scared when i remove the rails of her bed...she'll walk herself to my bed in the dark.

 

[bedebe]

oh yes zyp...i remember you...haha...my latest memory of our conversation is abt bras

 

[chng]

Hi all,

Me long time no "talk" also...

Really scary to hear such news. I really wonder what is the purpose of these people abucting our kids? Sell them in another country?? In fact I am very worried every time I hear such news cos my girl just loves to walk on her own not wanting me to hold her hands.

 

[cpyt]

Hi Mummies,

Sorry to disturb. I am from March thread.

I am doing a BP on eczema friendly products and many more other products.

Feel free to take a look at my BP.

Cheers!

 

[tinsel_elf]

jenn/july_baby/bedebe: thanx for sharing on child abduction. can't believe its happening here!!! can they actually smuggle the kid out of Singapore? my girl, at times, do not like to hold onto my hands when we were out....must make sure I hold on tightly to hers whenever we're out now. Will oso highlight this to my parents &amp; hubs.

eliz: Queen size?!! hahah...my girl usually falls asleep on our bed, then my hubs will carry her to her cot which is oso in our room. dunno when should we start training them to sleep in their own room?

ling4016: 3-4kids oso good...lavina can then have more attention on each child.

 

[star_eliz]

Tinsel
