hey mummies...
been so so long since able to drop by forum ever since start working this week. didn't have it easy also coz there were some days when i got back home in the evening, i only had like 5 min to carry and cuddle my boy before he yells for bedtime...
my boy sleeps v.early at around 6.30pm-7pm or so, so if i come back late, i can't even play with him. v.v.sad feeling lor. coz morning when i leave house, he haven't wake up, evening i come back, he's cranky n tired to even bother about me.
good thing is that evening i've time to sort out my work. have lots of marking of worksheets/essays-the students' holiday homework to settle now! 1st week of school just over, 9 weeks more to go and i'm flat out already.
lots of topics flew by the past week!
can only read briefly thru all the posts...
dodo
glad to hear ur anderson's fully recovered already. love those pics u posted of him. he looks different now as compared to the last time i saw him at gymboree, v.handsome leh. love his mop of hair. my boy is super botak, only got fine lallang bits waving in the air.
re: moving to KL/SA
dodo, do what ur heart tells you to do. we are stronger than we think. when faced with problems, we can work a way out somehow. trust in urself. mummies on this thread sure support u all the way.
pinky
dun b too worried about the development of ur boy. all kids all eventually move on to the next stage of development at their own pace. just provide him with lots of floor time, ie. let him spend time on the floor/bumper mat, give him opportunity to reach for toys, crawl,etc. the more physical exercises he has, the stronger his body which will help his physical development.
re: cancerians
wow... so many oct mummies are cancerians! i'm also a cancerian. but i think i'm the oldest amongst all. hit 30 liao. haha... happy birthday to all cancerians!

chris & garden,
i read on a book that our baby boys are more fussier eater than baby girls.. think they are really testing our patience loh.. but no choice, we just have to keep trying... ziqian starts to take solid better but very selectively, if the mixture of porridge/ cereal vs vege/ poultry isn't right, he will clamp his mouth straightaway, cant bluff him one...
im more worried abt his slow progress of solid feeding will affect his speech development, PD asked me to try let bb self-feed some baby biscuit for him to exercise his mouth muscle... but i researched thru many baby biscuits, their sodium level seems high leh.. duno what to do now...

clare's fever is down now. but cant say for later. saw pd again last nite. he said fever will persist for 3 to 4 days. was concerned last note cos fever shot up to 40C but pd said it's ok. he mentioned it's not the height fo the fever dat i shld be worried, rather it's the behavior of the child. there r so many school of thoughts....

dodo: i share the same sentiments with unice. i will follow hb cos will definitely miss him lotz.. think ur hb will surely miss u and bb lots too... let me know if ur hb's posting to SA is confirmed cos me and hb will be going there next yr for hols! will surely visit u!
clare usually takes abt 3 milk feeds also. each feed averaging 120ml. so i will try to squeeze in one more feed if possible.
but surprisingly, with the viral infection & high fever hitting her this time, her appetite for milk seems to be better. these few days, she takes in ard 500 to 650ml.
domboom: how is jerry?hope he is feeling better today! thanks to ur advice. just went to WTS to buy the 1st toothpaste.
junnie: yes, will definitely keep lance in my prayers!

(not not i wanna discourage u) but just hear from more pple before u decide since this is quite a major decision.
Hello all...

jacq: glad to hear clare's fever is down. hope it'll go away soon ok.
speedy recovery!
unice: thanks thanks!
dodo: chloe daily intake about 5 feeds of 5 oz milk on top of 2 porridge meals
her 5 oz milk is 4scoops of FM.. have to be diluted to avoid constipation issue

Morning... *Panda greeting*
Manage to sneak in a while as helper is with JErry for his feed now.
I sleep and wake up on and off, taking Jerry's temp. Gave him med. when fever reach 37.6c last evening. His temp. stagnant @ 37.0+ (below 37.5c) then. Till now, still the same. I suspect due to overheating as he is rejecting even water these two days. His upper gums are swollen, thanks to the teething of the upper one. Trying to feed him bit of barley since this morning. His feeds are not getting any better, still rejecting. Hopefully things get better.
Thanks mummies for your concern. =)
junnie,
Wow... I luv the pic of ur gal & Lance. Envy the jiejie & didi. Me still struggling with this notti boy, already wanna PENG liao! U are another brave & power mummy with 2 nice little ones! =)
The 1st teeth toothpaste... I try to brush for jerry every nite, to make it a habit. I can say that he keeps calm when I massage on his swollen gums, he kinda enjoys it.

i want to come to forum but i can't find the time to do so. the past week has been crazy, wake up at 5.15pm to pump, out of house by 6.20am to drive like a mad woman to sch. once reach sch, its like a mad woman on fire, dashing from class to class, firing at students for not handing in their work, photocopying worksheets to keep them occupied n try to do some decent lesson planning/teaching along the way. no time to surf net or eat proper meals.
worst still, got a workshop n last min meeting which effectively kept me in sch until 5.30pm for 2 days. i feel like i'm clocking 12 hr work n best part, i still have to lug back all my students work to mark/sort out. come back still have prepare for next day lesson.
contact hours with my boy is also drastically lesser nowadays. my only best day was yesterday where i just threw everything in my cart and lug it back home so that i can steal some time to play with my boy.
unice,
haha... yah, agree with jacq. must think carefully b4 accepting lor. the turnover and burnout rate is v.high. i've teacher friends who quit the sector after finishing bond, some transferred sch, some decide to further studies n to get some time out (i was one of them!!! ops!). it requires alot n alot of sacrifice to go into teaching field. has lots of pros n cons. on the good side, as long as u dun teach language arts, life shouldn't be as crazy as mine! n for sch hols, we do have a few days of break!
dodo
ur boy so cute, can verbalise already. mine still can't. haha... its ok, i'll just wait patiently for the day he says his first word. at the moment, just input more to him (if i can), hopefully he will output some day!
ya, my boy quite picky over food. sometimes can reject his porridge once he tried the first spoon. i dun make that an issue in front of him though, just clear up, wash him up n give him his feed some time after tat. he's not a very independent self-feeder, which i dun really think should be much of a concern. coz my niece was given't any opporunity to self-feed but she's going onto 2 now and can eat by herself for certain foods.
but if u wan, can give him some finger food to let him play around. just be prepared for the mess!
dooborn/jacq
hope ur babies resume back to their cheery selves soon. must also rest as much as possible coz its v.taxing to take care of children when they're ill.
okie, gtg liao. bb sleeping, better try to work on my lesson prep/vocab tests, etc. at least achieve something or else, when monday comes, i'll be so dead!
happy weekend! tata!

Hi all,
Back from JB for eye checkup. Tagged Raph along...Luckily he is very cooperative even during the jam...
Yesterday I just tell some mummies he got only 2 teeth. That night, when he is giggling with his dad, I saw the 1 upper tooth come out already....Wow, it is like out 2mm already then i noticed.
Teachers are quite well-paid right? By justifying the work to do...maybe it is likewise. I know that teacher's bonus based on student performance right? It is not so easy afterall.

ecookie,
Normally, we buy the 'English' barley from the dried food section @ supermarket. From what I noe, 'English' barley is better than 'Chinese' Barley.
Juz boil them in pot of water and then serve when cool. It taste very bland, almost tasteless. We dun add in any sugar in this case.
But do take note that barley water is 'liang' and not to be given on daily basis (if I m not wrong). For us, we only give when we feel that boys are getting abit heaty (such as 'red' lips, teething period, etc).

doobom, how does an english barley look like??
ecookie: i'm using that pigeon bowl too. usually i scoop more of the bigger section. sometimes chloe can finish, sometimes not. usually i see her cue.. if she's playing with the food in her mouth and chewing reallllll slow, that means she's full already

welcome back garden dreamz!
re milk feed: my girl also waking up for milk very frequently in the night! dunno if she's teething or what.. will whimper and make noise and i just latch her.. after a while, she goes back to sleep. can be 2 times a night leh..3am, 5am! aiyoh...
ok, now abt Aria's SL photoshoot. It was a very pleasant, fun and nice experience with SL. Their place is very clean, nice, comfy and cosy! Really no regret signing up with them. Aria was very cooperative throughout. But alas couldn't make her take the sleeping beauty shot! she just wouldn't let me put her down on the floor! Didn't use much props also, only a pair of green wings, a polka dot flower pot, a pail and letter blocks. May be because we bring so many clothes and 3 costumes for her.. haha...So, don't worry if you have not many clothes to bring, they will use a lot of props on them
Aria really look so comical in the bumble bee suit, the cow and bunny head gear.(Thanks ika for the lubang!) And suprisingly, she did not make much fuss when we put it on her. I could not stop laughing when she was on the cow head gear. It was so heavy and big on her headn that she had to use her body to balance the weight..she was swinging here and there trying not to fall side way..haha...
we shot from around 3.30 to 6.30pm. Sean was very accomodative. Last minute i requested for certain shots and he just agreed. Really nice working with him and adelena. Adelena will help to engage the baby and catch the baby attention. Thumbs up for their very good service!Hubby already talking abt signing up with them for 1 year old PS! haha...

Hi aria jo,
Good to hear that you have a good session with SL ytd. Guess my boy is the onli notti and uncooperative one...
But nevermind lah... if photos turn out not well... take again when he is bigger... haha!
Yez agree with you that the couple is indeed very professional and yet accommodative. Enjoyed working with them too.
Looking forward to the group seesion on 19jul. Hopefully Kester will be more cooperative that day... keeping fingers crossed.
BTW when is your photo selection??
