missA, milk & honey only take in for age 2 & above.. heard abt good comment before and superb near me and it is only $180 (after subsidy) but hor when i call and enquire the other time, they dun sound that friendly tho 
michviv, wow! i believed you went to Odyssey le.. very impressed hor.. superb tempted but really too exp for me. Ur hubby very good hor tho not confirmed but willing to consider. u went in the morning or afternoon? the other time I went on afternoon, so all half days students are left liao, the centre very quiet but still good place.
cactunah, *hugs hugs* pls pls take care, i went thru the same process & also did the blood test, but things came too fast tt I din even got the chance to see my blood test. eat more "bu" now cos ur body needs it. and dun overstrain urself.

michviv,
you have any luck in contacting LSH for their Open House? I tried calling, leaving voice msgs and even email, but no reply! But i managed to call Agape at NTU Alumni Club, we can just walk in, no need to register with them (Open house is from 10am to 2pm).
Actually i was quite slack in feeding G with vits cos' I have been feeding him with fresh fruits everyday too. His fav are strawberries, kiws and bananas...so I'm quite puzzled why he always kena those viruses.

kaye, Haha thought they say confinement drink water will get water retention! Haha. I have been drinking sparingly Haha. Your auntie mist have been really nice to claire! Come back she is not used to all the scolding Haha.
Poissons, my mil worked in agape before and she is against it. Don't know if its a branch thing or not.
Mm, Haha, hope so hope I Jia you ah. That time I could fit into pre preggie jeans after confinement for travis. Now, sigh. I still so yaya , put away all the preggi clothes liao Haha.
Michviv, Poissons, I also didn't give travis cod liver oil ley. What brand are u all giving? He only takes an apple a day. Hoho.

Piggypiggy: Haha. No leh. Haven't gone to visit yet. Hubby is very busy with reservist now so no time. But he was the one who asked me to look at Odyssey so I think the least we can do is pop by one of these days.
Poissons: I left a message with someone who picked up the phone and they called me back leh. I think even if you don't get through, no harm coming down to visit.
Cindy: I don't feed E any cod liver oil yet. Will discuss with his daddy then decide. hehe.

Cindy,
against Agape ah? But both Jovan and Ashley are there leh..hmm.. Actually my MIL is working in a childcare centre too, Kindercorner (Science Park II), but she was telling me that for 18mths to 2 yrs old, the curriculum is basically juz teaching them some basic stuff, sing songs, snack time, nap, etc...I can't expect much cos' its mostly for the office workers who send their kids there for convenience. Good thing is she can be there to watch G lah, so I can be more assured...sigh..dunno leh, in a dilemma.

Tinkabel,
ZY can hi-5 with Matt too! In fact, I am the one who taught her that cos she likes to see things upside down now.. not exactly a somersault. She attempts to do a split earlier @ GUG.. i dun recall teaching her since i cant do one myself! So better watch what we do or say now with these copycats.
ZY also kisses us on the lips with mouth opened, but she doesnt really lean fwd, cos usually the adults will be kissing her with her mouth opened.. ha

ashm, hehehe to me is jus so-so. it seems like most of these classes are almost the same except LNT n SM alike. I used to bring my son to trials n also was with 'I CAN READ' for 1 term.
GUG, I CAN READ, PDS...i guess more or less abt the same. it may seem interesting at first, but aft a few classes, basically only the 'theme' for the week changes...but the class module /structure is abt there.
sorry if i sound discouraging. but thats the way i perceive these classes. i m more or less confirmed NOT sending M to such classes n put her in daily toddler's class/playgroup instead until she is much older say, 4-5yrs old then i will consider enrichment classes. for daily playgroup (3hrs kind)i think she will learn more stuff n also will hv a proper daily routine of 'going to school'.
however i m giving LNT some serious tot later part of this yr aft i settled my new hm - cos now dunno which branch is more convenient for me.
the above is jus my personal opinion...hope i didnt offend anyone.

ASHM:hey last pregnancy me never take coconut water at all le.....wats it for ????

MM - Thanks and its good for you to share your personal opinion - this is what we need to know
Weishy - My mum told me to take it the last time as she said is to cleanse the internal body heat. Do that only at the last month of your pregnancy if not it will be too liang......

ASHM,
yup, just had one coconut just last nite coz body over heaty - took baked beef the day before n fell sick ystdy... too heaty for me liao lor.
intend to have coconut juice at least trice a wk now...
weishy,
some say the coconut juice will also cleanse the bb from the residue of the white protective thingy lor. then bb comes out more clean not sure how true lah but last time wif C, she was still pretty much covered for almost 2 days on her forehead lor - looks a bit yucky back then! ahahaa...
lazykat,
i went for LNT last sunday; it was the jap session. it was so.... long leh, 1.5hrs and even though only 6 kids (C included), it can be distracting when ONE start to throw tantrums! my C was distracted whenever one kid start to fidget/scream/etc and then she also had her bouts of about 3 times - thinks she also felt the session was too long liao, esp when she has to sit still for the entire lesson!
hoping this coming lesson in Chinese would be much better lah - at least she understand some simple words oredi.
MM - agree with you too... m just letting C try out n also for me to find out what's available. but once i pop #2, most prob no time for those ECC liao - will put C to childcare and get her on a routing as well while i cope w #2.
i thk #2 will also be 'short-changed' on trial lessons since wil be too busy handling both! ahaha...

tinkabel:
Matt doesn't look like a 16 month old tod.
Looks very big.
Cindy / Kittybride:
I put on 5kg for my prev pregnancy and the 5kg still stay with me. So now I have put on 7kg for 2nd pregnancy, so I hope I won't have 12kg with me when I deliver.
That day gynae said bb dun grow bb, so I go and eat durians, so I put on 2kg within 2 weeks and bb put 300g, so gynae asked me to stop eating durian.
What is the weight of yr bb now? Mine last week 32 weeks was 1800g.
Weishy / ASHM:
Seems like both of u r doing well. Can put on weight and eat is a good thing.
MissA:
What happened to yr girl? I tot she is doing well in the child care?
u mean the school give her honey and milk is it?

Kittybride,
how come its 1.5 hrs? Ours only 1 hr and its enuf for me n ZY liao.. Our class quite small, 3 when I first start, now only 4. Mine is the disruptive one, sad to say, 3 more to go for this term before i decide to continue or not.
Foetus grows exponentially towards the last tri, so still got time to beef him up..
ASHM,
I went for the GUG trial yesterday @ Suntec, find it so-so, more for ZY to play with other todds, as usual, she goes around and attempts to sit on the chair when everyone is on the mat.. but she has fun based on all the hugs and giggles
MM,
is there any such playgroup nearby our SK area? Cos i also scared once she goes CC, falls sick too easily.

lazykat,

so sad my gal verbal skill still limited. dun know how to catch up or learn with the rest in the class if i sign her up! hmm...

Kittybride,
can't compare, cos dun forget ours the yr end baby, our class also hv a 20-mth old todd who can recite 1 - 10 in chinese, after the teacher. She has been attendin since 12mths according to her mum.
But I do see some slight improvement, like now she likes to pull her little chair to the low table and do some activity, be it reading on her leaptouch or playing with coinbank.. so i think the classes did hv some impact on her afterall

lazykat, i intend to put M in Talent plus playgroup when she reaches 18mo. i think the one nearest to me (us) is at blk 303 somthing. i will check it out again.
cos by May, my hb will be busy with his new biz, i might be the family chauffeur, it will prob be good if i can 'park' M in the playgroup for a few hrs in them morning while i run errands, marketing etc. then when i move to PR later part of the yr, i will transfer her to the PR branch. Favian used to be at PR branch n i tot the fees were reasonable n the teachers are quite well trained. Oh the good thing is that Talent plus practises partial montessori teaching.
i think its sort of a good exposure for ZY before u put her in CC. at least she can slowly build her immune system by mixing ard with other children - its a matter of time.
as i was telling ASHM the other day while at Gogo, my son doesnt really fall sick (*touchwood)as much as other kiddos ard me who attends childcare.

kittybride, dun despair OR compare
...every child is unique.
for M, she picks up new things pretty fast n i tink its becos she has an older sibling to learn from- or rather imitate from. U can observe ur #2. its quite amazing.
n i agree with Kat too, yr end bb tends to lose out in terms of learning. so its nt fair to compare our Nov babies with those in the classes.
my son is an Oct bb...i also feel that he tends to be slower in picking up skills compared to those children in the same yr, but early half of the yr.
as long as she is keen to learn, she will get there sooner or later

lazykat, jus to add:
the 2-3hr playgrp in Talent plus is only for 18mth to nursery 2 (N2- 4yrs old)
aft that i put Favian in Kindy at Treasurebox cos Talent plus does nt offer Kindergarten classes.
alternatively u can find other schools that offers classes from Toddlers all the way till kindy.

Rachel: No la, in terms of size, Matt's ave. He's abt 10.2kg now only.
Re: Playgroups
MM, I tend to agree with u. My mum made the same comment also. Cos we signed up with Gymboree here in SH. Then realise, the activities are somewhat similar wiht different music or theme changed. not too much a big deal. I wun sign up anymore after I am done with the current sessions.

tinkabel, ya i believe so. maybe for 1st kid, usually we tend to be more 'ON'..hehhe. so poor M, didnt really go for any proper classes exccept trials..LOL.
i told hubby we rather save the money n let them attend enrichment when they are older - those that they can enjoy n see results.
good lessons i would recommend will be abacus - my son is learning now n i see improvements
- but thats way too early for our Nov babies! hahaha
Plim, u can consider this for Bella.
n now my son tells me that he wants to learn swimming, so signing up for something they enjoy i think is more mmeaningful. I find it a chore to bring M for lessons evryweek (usually those are in town area) n not knowing if she truly enjoy it or not. tats lazy me la..!

yup, can't compare but somehow feel that it mgt frustrate her coz she dun understand... maybe more is from me lah.
and yes, she also likes to pull out her little chair and sit to do some activities - having snacks, playing wif her toys or just scribbling on a piece of paper. at least that takes up some of her time instead of roaming about the house n pulling out towels/linens/etc!!
the other day i let her transfer cloth pegs from one basket to another while in the kitchen... ahahaha... that gave me at least 15mins to prep lunch while keeping an eye on her as well!

I kinda not agree with MM's thots (sorry MM!). Personally I enjoy bringing G for these classes and I think he enjoys attending too. They may not understand everything, but it's good to expose them to new things. For G, we make a point to recap/practise some of the stuff he learnt in school, ie. tap the mat, knock the mystery basket, the hand signs for the songs, etc..and amazingly he can remember and anticipate it during the class. And I reckon this is why the class always have similar activities, music or theme - repetitive actions/gestures will form a permanent memory for them rather than we keep on doing different things with him every week and they can't digest all of them in one go.
Just my two cents worth

poissons, yes i do agree with u regarding the repetitive teaching. its not wrong to send them to such classes if within ur means n time, by all means. n its good that G enjoys them.
maybe it only me, who finds the lessons boring n not justifiable for the fees they charge
. so i personally would rather expose M to the playgroup.
during my recent GUG trial (with mambo), i notice 2 children didnt seem interested in the lessons at all. they didnt even seem to care what the teachers were demonstrating etc. Maybe its nt intersting enough for them cos every week is the same old thing??
Gelyn, for Sengkang i heard Faith Educare is nt bad, there is one newly opened at Buangkok Kopitiam hub. Another one is in rivervale or compassvale, cant remember.
MY son is with treasurebox - Parry Ave (serangoon) they hv schoolbus service to n fro SK. U may wan to take alook there. Jaydynbb is also considering putting J there.

Tinkabel: Matt is so funny with the stunt, esp with the cutie pants on.
Shld be able to apply half day leave to go high-tea in Apr. Let's arrange again nearing the date.
Poissons: My MIL always give E Ba Bao San whenever she sees him on the verge of fall ill. Think it helps. G will be alright, dun worry.
And oh, i saw the photos u uploaded in FB, both G & A are so cute kissing. Can send the photos for competition. Hiak hiak...
Rachel: Hey, u only put on 7kg in yr 32nd week? Wow...

MissA,
i rem u asking when our todds start to learn/distinguish colours.. so one day i sort her coloured balls in pairs into 4 different containers. During gogo playdate, i let her play with the sugar satchets @ Jones, and she actually start to categorize and in particular pick out the red satchets and put into the container. So u may wanna try activities like that at home.
Tinkabel,
I shld be able to meet up for tea or something when u r back if its on a Tue ~ Thur. I am not sure abt Ellenborough's lunch spread, but if u still hv craving then, we can try that out. Else there shld be many places with gd value set lunches on a wkday.

Thanks MM, I will go and have a look at Faith Educare and since Treasurebox have school bus service, I think its good for me too. Both that recommend is full day one right?
Talent Plus sounds good but too bad its not full day.
Cactusnah, hope everything is going well for you. Take care ya!

Hee...nah, A wont hate G, dun worry
Poissons & Gelyn: I'm "good", at least better aft i confirmed the fact. Sorry a bit gross here, but i passed out the tissues over the wkend. Went to the gynae (recommended by my boss) who is a lot more patient and attentive yesterday, did a scan and he said the sac is out and shld be ok. My uterus wall is thinning and uterus contracted too and hope all will be bk to normal when i see him again in 4 wks time. Was so scared and worried that i may need to go thru D&C.But he did ask me to monitor for any fever and to go bk to him immediate shld i develop any fever coz he's afraid of infection if there's still tissue.
So, i'm good again. Will "rape" my HB again after doc gimme the green light. Hiak hiak hiak...
