Received this through email today, thought it's worth sharing....
The mayonnaise jar and the 2 glasses of wine theory
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 glasses of wine theory...
A professor stood before his philosophy class with some items on his desk in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf
balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the
jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'YES.'
The professor then produced two glasses of wine from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things; your family, your children, your health, your friends,
and your favourite passions; things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else; the small stuff.
If you put the sand into the jar first', he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never
have room for the good things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical check-ups. Take your partner out to dinner. Do one more run down the ski slope. There will
always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first; the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the wine represented.
The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of glasses of wine with a friend.'

Cola, if you put her in your room better not to lights off i think that might create fear in her.
According to Super Nanny method, we can create a naughty area, it can be a red mat or a red chair or anything but must be for this purpose only. whenever the child is naughty just bring the child there. different ages will hv different timings.

Shannon also love to eat toothpaste
Ivy,
you understand my worry, i am pretty scared if she gets phobia to darkness, think next time i will just leave her alone.. let her fan xing fan xing (wonder if they know how to fan xing).. keke...
But at this age,even if we prepare red chair/red mat, do they really understand what the purpose of it? Hm.. getting naughtier and naughtier..
Life as sahm. sure you face shannon's naughtiness more than i do, how do u deal with it? or shannon is a good girl never make you angry?
hehehe.. i note that when there are only Meg and I at home, she is well behaved, but when there is somebody else around, her pattern shows!
Headache.. now preg, always get angry.. dunno how to control.. i usually just try to breathe in and count to 10.. then look at her in stern face! Dun want to keep scolding her also, but want her to understand that i am angry with her..
U coming to gathering??

look like quite a no of kids talks quite well liao. my gals don't talk much leh! Worst of all,
cannot call mummy, only call papa & ah ma, so sad!
MMR
Took it last week. Doc say fever comes between 5-7days. So their fever starts on the 5th & 6th day. As for rashes, i still on the look out.
BEHAVIOUR
When alone with me, still bearable
But very funny, jiejie very naughty when her papa at home, whereas meimei very naughty when grandma at home.
BITES/FIGHTS
jiejie is into biting now. bite me when i apply teething gel for her, bite her meimei when they snatch toys. Think they got very different characters although they r twins.

Re: Gathering
So sorry I can't attend the gathering this sat. My bro just called and said he'll be coming over for dinner and mum has appointed me as the chef since she has run out of ideas what to cook.... what a pity, would like chloe to meet more friends. However if other arrangement could be made, i might just turn up.
Twinkle,
Dun worry, my chloe doesn't talk much too at 16mth+. Just mumbling, but sometimes when she called 'mama' and hugged me tight, I melt.
Re: Behaviour
I totally agree that they are getting naughtier and naughtier. Chloe is more well behaved at home but when we are outside, she's too distracted to listen to instructions and likes to do things independently. Today she even managed to break thru her 5pt harness seat belt and stood up on the stroller *soo.. dangerous*
Re: Brushing Teeth
I think Chloe has the least no. of teeth here, she started teething at 1yr old and now she only has 4 1/2. She likes brushing her teeth too, using pigeon toothbrush. At first I used the finger toothbrush but she kept her mouth shut tightly, no chance to squeeze my finger in. Now she enjoys brushing and eating the toothpaste too.
Gold..piggy,
Since Chloe still doesn't know how to rinse her mouth yet, what I usually do is to rinse the toothbrush instead for 2-3 times and let her brush again.

Twinkle2,
Wanna join the gathering? woudl be fun to see both your gals together..
Ytanh,
Oh.. so sad.. ya wanna bring meg there to meet frens
if you can come, then come k..
MMR
Oh so rash is also one of the side effects? oh my gosh.. pray hard when meg takes hers, she would be fine!
She will be taking on 12 Dec...
Behavior
So my observation is correct, most kids are well behaved when nobody is around.. but when someone elses are around, they start to be naughty..
Talk
I think some babies speak faster and some are slower, no need to worry..
Twinkle haha so sad they don't call mama.. you are at home everyday with them kekeke.. (see i am so bad!)
I think Meg's speech ability is inherited from me. My mum said by 2 years old, I was like a birdie.. can say whatever stuff already.. super chi cha..
Hope my #2 will also speak faster hehehe.. so i dun need to guess what they want exactly It's easy to toilet train them when they can speak, coz when they want to urinate, they would tell..

ytanhn, yes, thats what i do. i will keep wetting and rinsing the finger brush then try to get into his mouth but he just keep it super tightly shut!
Just read the article on lo hwei yen and found it a pity that her life ended at such young age and one thing is for sure, she is very very lucky to have a hubby who love her so much. the article title read as 'She was my entire life', this itself is already her greatest achievement in her life...so sad for her.

re: talking
steve cant talk much also. he can say some works like, but most of the time he just 'shouts' specially when he wants us to reach something for him. my mum says that when a baby walks early then talking will be much later. im not sure if that is true, but steve started walking (few steps) at 12.5months, so maybe that is why now at 15months he can only say few words.
re : behaviour
actually i think our kids are smart, they know that if there is no one around then no one to look at them when they move too much, so they behave more. at home, when its only my mummy who's taking care of steve, he is behave, like when changing nappy, he will just stay still until granny finishes to change his nappy, but when im around he will move too much even walk with out nappy on and ill chase for him =) he knows that is more than 1 person looking out at him so he can just go-go-go.

Re: talking
Not really true (at least for my case), Meg walked when she was 11 mths, and by now (15 mths) she can express to us what she wants in words..
Re: behaviour
My girl is a worm,she will run around when i (only me!)want to put nappy on her, thank God now she does not need to wear nappy when she is not sleeping..
She will stay still when my MIL/FIL/Hubby puts nappy/bathe her.. She really bullies me!

But there are certain things that i won't give in to her like things that will endanger her.
Cola/adeline,
Ya.. will turn up if I really can. Want Chloe to make more friends too as she seems to go around making friends with other kids when we are out nowadays.
Wowww... Ike is the only boy boy there + a super handsome one. Think the rest of the girls will be going ga-ga over him.
