Hi mummies,
i am new here. well, my 2nd bb girl was born in july 09. eldest girl is already 4. i am pretty happy with this age gap. the elder one can help to care and entertain the young one. for those mummies trying to have a 2nd bb, go for it, don't be dishearted. it is a whole lot of joys though have to go through night feeding again.

Able to coax the lil bro by singing or tickling him to stop crying..
precious moments wen i see them becoming closer by the day..
Can help me to take diapers and wet wipes during diaper changing time.
No more nite feeding for me..whahahah..
tats the best thing abt motherhood..

And the best thing of all, both my boys will not cry n look for me when I am not at home..
They can totally forgot abt their mother leh..
Coz I trained to leave them with others/caretaker since they are young n they seem to understand I need to go and work.

wow!! So much talk about having no2 liao. It has been so long since I last posted anything here. Glad to see that this thread is still going strong. Have already given birth to my 2nd boy. But he was so premature that he has to be in hospital for 78 days. But am glad that its now over and he is one healthy little boy. Night feedings have been tough. Thought it would be easier but still the same.

Good job, big gal Megan!
I had to work & couldn't be with Bel for long. She was a little tensed when I left for work, but maybe as HB was still going to stay around, Bel was alright. However, HB sms that she cried when he went for lunch & again when he went to the toilet.
Hope I dun have a difficult time sending her to childcare tomorrow.

Eliz: Sayang... yeah, for 1st time parents sending 1st child to school for the first time can be quite emo too... kekeke... I teased my sis when she was sending my nephew for the first time when he was 3+.
Yup, we need to 'drop & go', so that they will learn that there's no use whinning or crying.
We also need to keep to our promise to return to fetch them at a certain time. So though I should be able to reach her cc by 6.45pm on most days, I tell her 7pm, just to play safe....
Tomorrow onwards, I'll be the one 'dropping off' & fetching as well. Wish me luck.
Will post pic after I get them from HB.

Hello,
any one whose child is at Little Footies schoolhouse @ MeiHuan?
Just want to get some feedback on the school.
My boy started N1 just yesterday and he cried and wailed for 2 hours straight. Today as well. I had to leave for work. My mother continue to hang around the center. But my boy keeps wanting to be carried and refuses to come down. He literally clings to me like a koala bear.
Would like to hear from the parents here how is the first day of school for your child?

Hi Everyone..
Today 2nd day of school seems harder. Megan don't even want to get dressed and say she doesn't want to go to school.
Once we reached there, she cried and the teacher had to carry her in and we just go while she cried for me..
Really heartache...
Hi Tay Seow Bing
My gal's 1st day was better. She also cried but i was told just for a while and i took her home half day.
Today also on and off which i was told is normal.

the teachers told me it's the norm for kids to cry for 2 weeks...eeks..
and apparently, she told us that kids who wail and cry in the beginning tend to settle down better than those who came in and are quiet...
probably she has seen so many cases until they are used to the tantrums thrown by kids.
just pray that my boy will cry less with each passing day...

Eliz: Megan looked really happy! Dun worry, kids get accustomed to new environment fast la. Megan's bag seemed pretty big, what did u pack huh? K will only start pre-n this Fri and I'm expecting her to whine too but this phase should pass soon...I hope.
Hi
Thankfully despite Bel's crying, she told me at the end of Day 1 that she liked school & wanted to go again.
This morning, she was a little cranky, at first wanted me to change her, then insisted HB change her. Then after she changed into her uniform, she started saying she wants daddy to stay with her. But after that short episode, she happily grabbed her bag & pulled it out the door.
We stayed with her at the childcare for about an hour, fed her lunch & bathed her before both HB & I left. She cried when we were about to leave, but the principal says she stopped shortly after the P brought her to look at our family photo (from my #1's time) on their board. Bel started talking to the teacher & stopped crying & was ok the rest of the day.
When I went back to fetch Bel at the end of the day, she was watching the other kids. I expected her to cry, but she did not. Her face lit up when she saw me & she just went "Mummy!"
In the car, Bel told us she cried. But in the same breath, she declared she was going to school tomorrow.
Both HB & I need to get to work real early tomorrow & I dread to think I have to put her in childcare for almost 11 hours tomorrow. Then again, HB & I decided Bel has been making very good progress. We are worried that if we keep her at home tomorrow, we may have problem sending her to CC on Thu.
Till then... will come back to share how Bel fared...
All the best to our little ones who are adjusting to school/CC for the first time.

Eliz: Yeah, that's comforting la. At least despite the crying, she's still ok with school.
Today, Day 3, we did not stay with her. I brought her to CC, put her things down & prepare to hand her over to the P (her teacher wasn't in yet). I was told she cried for about 15mins & was generally ok through the day.
Bel has her crying episodes, & called out in her sleep last night, 'I want papa, I want papa carry'.. but other than that, she seems to be adjusting ok.
How's lil Megan today?
