ASHM, MS is good.. Based on a doc fren, MS is an indication of your hormones reacting to the baby's development... The more horrible the MS is, the healthier the baby will be... Ie the baby will not fall sick that easily in the 1st yr of life after birth.
U know sometime, I was talking to the principal of a Buddhist CC. She was so frank with me and now i know y that CC was highly recommended by my neighbours.
She told me that if i m looking for a CC that teaches them alot of academic stuff for toddlers like Claire's age. I will be disappointed coz her approach is she just wan them to come to the cente to play & be happy and not stressed them! She also told me that she can be very strict with the children there...
Whereas the Kinderland CC kept on emphasizing all the speech & drama thingy to me... That literally freaked me out!

k@ye, hahaha thats the exact 'consolations' I received when i was preggy both times! the 2nd time with Mischa was a few times worse than my 1st preg.
ASHM, hang in there. try to find remedies that work for u n stick to them. For me, muching on dry biscuits ,sucking on mints n seeping Jap green tea n ginger tea worked for me. Good luck!
weishy, u are one lucky girl...

Thanks K@ye, MM, Poissons and Weishy!
MM - I have been taking ginger tea but i was afraid that it might be too heaty and i stopped for a few days when we were away.... will start again this evening.... thanks for the heads up!
Poissons - Yes we brought Ash and the nanny along...it was good fun but tiring. Ash just slept in the car most of the time....
I brought Ash to Suntec (Toys r Us level) to cut his hair the last time and the guy was good with kids. He knows how to talk to them, distract them and even play along with them....Maybe you can try there the next time but not during G's nap time

mummies (who r sending ur kids to CC),
- i think it's better not to "publicise" which CC ur kid is going. u never know if there are "stalkers" in this thread. what if someone goes to your CC to "pick" up ur kid? i may be paranoid but it's always better to be safe than sorry...
- it's v common for kids to fall sick frequently in CC. so do prepare some "first-aids". IMO, thermometer, panadol, fever pad, cherry rub are a must. thinking of getting flumcil for J also.
my questions for CC
1. Teacher/child ratio tat tis CC follow - MCYS guideline is 1:8
2. Current no of teachers & children - personally i wun like to enroll J in a big class, even higher chance of him falling sick.
3. Max capacity of children in the class - J's class used to have only 10 kids, then it ballooned to 16! there are more teachers but quality has dropped.
4. wat is done to maintain hygiene
5. Daily activities
6. mtd of teaching

ASHM, if u happen to go to Forum shopping mall, there is a salon pretty good with kids too - Fantastic Sams. And they really cut boy's hair style really well. However, they are not solely doing haircut for kids, i see alot of expats family there too
I used to bring my son there when he was younger
Jus FYI
I used to bring my son there when he was younger
ASHM: Welcome back girl! Glad you had a good trip. =)
PDS mummies: I think after all is said and done. And after comparing so many classes, PDS was a rather good experience for us all. Anyhow, good news is that I heard that I read that they are starting a bilingual playgroup so I've started the inquiry process to find out more about the proposed schedule and pricing. Will let you know more once they revert. =P

ASHM,
i brought G to the suntec one when he was 6mths, no problem, 2nd time was the QB salon, also no problem, then yday brought him to the one at vivo toys r us, he cried buckets..aiyo..one angmoh even told us that "it gets better each time"...haha..
Catherine,
thanks for highlighting, i didn't even think of that (stalkers in the forum)!
Michviv,
Most likely will bring G to my MIL's cc, then find a more decent nursery for him when the time comes. At least I know he's in good hands and i only need to pay $100+.

Weishy, i will pm u the Buddhist CC then!
Talking abt haircut, i really gave up! We bought Claire to shave her head when she was 3 mths old, she was blur blur, cried when almost to finish!
Then later on, everytime bought her to trim the head... Sure cried buckets even before they started.. Got only one time, the lady only used scissors to trim.. She never cried... So we all tot, she was freaked out by the sound of the hair razor...
But we re wrong, basically she dun like ppl to touch her head or hair. She cried when the nurse tried to measure her head and also when my Mum attempted to cut her hair...
So now, she looked like a Coconut head!

michviv - i totally agreed PDS is good! Pls keep us posted on their bilingual class. In fact i was just thinking this morning that its good that we let our kiddos to mix around with someone familar just like PDS, they can get to meet each other every Sat
Weishy - The haircut is S$16 if i dont remember wrongly - yes they do cut for girls
Grace - 4 teachers in a class, this means they should have max 20 kids in the class then. One of the complaint is that their classroom is kindda of small so thats y they have to open up one to accommodate everyone.
Cindy - Thanks!
Good girl! Must perservere ok.... just tahan as long as you can. How much more weight you need to lose for now? Did you eat alot of those confinement food?

Dreamer, how come i forgotten about you & Kaira! Hahaha... Okie, will tell her...
Grace, SQ ah... Good good... At least they re efficient! Usually, for bassinet seats, its the 1st front of the economy class...U opt for these seats.. As the further u re in the aircraft, the more bumpy the ride is!
u can go to this url to check out the seatign arrangement before you do ur seat allocation.. If u cant get ur seats hor, u can always call SQ and ask them for assistance.
I did that quite a few times.

Grace,
my GUG trial experience aint that bad despite ZY also moving around in the class.. but my JG experience is definitely much better. Teachers and parents are friendly, depends on luck i guess. When r u trying out GraceKids??
ASHM,
welcome back, cant hv too high expectation when in M'sia, unless its really the 5* type.
Cindy,
persevere on! If u want no spare tyres next time!

Michviv, "dig dig" remind me of the Snow White & 7 Dwarfs song!
Talking abt spare tyre, mine is getting bigger & bigger... I need to cut down on my sugar intake! So demoralising to know my weight when trying to weight Claire at the PD clinic. Not to mention, someone tot i m pregnant and want to give up the seat to me!

Grace- me keen also if its a am sat class for PDS! Michviv -Keep us posted ya
grace- if u book online u can chek in online 48hrs before flt. They usually assign those with kids in front of the cabin. I find if u take front row seats got more leg space but only down side like wat weishy says u cant lift the seat handles up so u cant put her lying down on the other seat if she zzz. But if u not taking nite flt & she not zzz than ok bah.

ya, doodlebugs.
Catherine: Haha...J is so cute! E also remembers the songs and asks me to sing him the songs. Suddenly out of the blue he will say "knock knock" and knock the strangest things like his Granny's bag. haha. Also the tapping on the mat song.
Think all of our little ones had a great time there. =)But I agree that the costs can be rather unsustainable.
Grace: Do we still need to pay the registration since our kids have been through PDS before and have the Tshirt and file?

k@ye, juz to share with u on MMR. kaira took it on 11th march. no fever etc. but today, got small red spots on the body. i called the clinic and checked cos its like 12 days from the jab, i thot all should be cleared. they said that the red spots are a possible side effect and can manifest within 2 weeks and may last up to 3 days but usually go off within 24 hours. FYI.
dreamer, thanks for ur reply......my hse is just opp the polyclinic....so for vaccinations, i bring him there ...much cheaper...
but when he got fever or rashes...i bring him to the kid's clinic at rivervale....the pd always say individual child development is diff.....but the last time i brought my boy to the PD was CNy this yr...
my boy still dunno how to hold his own milk bottle, still cries to the maid when he wants milk...
I was thinking should i bring back to the PD or is there any other specialist in hospital to do detail checkup or assessment?

grace, jus realise that u mention its the 18mths class.. Hazel not yet 18mths can she join the class?
poohbee, is your child with maid most of the time in the day or there are also others ard him? sometimes it could jus be he's not engaged in conversation during the day and being served by the maid so he refuses to be independent. Agreed wif the rest if worry pls get advise fr PD.
