Hi May,
Congrats & eat more cny goodies yah~
When is ur EDD?
Hi Slimz,
This a.m i just check w the Tot House near my block, Jb can enrol after the March sch hol as he is a July baby. However, he will need to "repeat" the same N1 class in 2010.
Doesn't make sense lah~
So i m going to let him bump ard at home till 2010.
hehehehe...
Hi Anny,
How big is Apple tree class size?
The Tot House teacher told me they used to take in 25 kids w 2 teachers until it auditor put a stop to it this yr. That's y it has 2 N1 classes this yr, as it had already accepted the students but next yr, it will b back to just 1 class.

daphne,
yes, dede is still crying these 2 days. didn't see u when I pick him up yesterday, but tot I saw u pushing stroller walking towards coris when I was driving into the carpark. still on leave, but hb say try not to 'pamper' him too much. so doing the disappearing act. peeping from the window & seeing him listening to teacher's singing. made sure the children dun see me, just in case. dunno what to do to stop him from crying, but will continue the routine until he stop by himself. he has to overcome this by himself.

the year of the ox is not my year. dede still crying everyday to school.
worst part is when were about to collect our car from the carpark after picking dede & lunch, noticed that our front carplate was on the floor with part of a bumper of a 'hit & run' car. minor scratches. dede still crying non-stop. I have made a police report and appealed for eye witness on sengkang forum.
very sian...no CNY mood liao. the only consolation is no injury la. must look at bright side...

Yo, i'm back!!
How's every1's new yr?
All the kiddos collected lots of angbao?
We doing more visiting later when Jb wakes up from his nap.
I was v stressed leading up to CNY eve as we were hosting the reunion dinner for my parents & grandma. It's my 2nd year doing that but this year w/o my capable ex-maid lor.
Luckily still went off quite well even tho she diluted my pork rib soup w double the amt of required water b4 i can stopped her & swapped the white promfet meant for reunion w a smaller 1. Luckily the steam king prawns recommended by the fishmonger saved the nite.
heheheehee...
Hi Wan,
That's the "advice" Jx gave to a dad who was telling us that his N2 son doesn't like going to sch.
hahahahaa...
He also told the man to just send the kid in his pj & let every1 laugh at him, when he told us that it was tough getting the kid to change into uniform.
hmmmm... sounds familiar...think i used that threat on jx when he was crying everyday to cc then.
Hi May,
Logistic-wise, it will definitely be easier than bringing both kids to your workplace.
But as per usual, I still have my reservations abt young bbs going to infant care lah.

Speaking of childcare, I happened to chanced upon Starhub's preview channel last nite featuring Summit 101 by Taiwanese TVBS.
The parenting views by the guest speaker is v interesting. Esp the part that kids r our most important investment, so we need to prioritise & spend more time taking care of them, compared to our other investments. How true but often forgotten!
Here's some program highlights that I'd googled but in traditional chinese:

thanks all for advices. I am lucky to have a supportive family and teachers. few days back when dede refused to change to his uniform, he went in his own t-shirt and the principal brought him into the classroom and the teacher helped him change into his uniform.
may, have u recce the cherie hearts at anchorvale? I dropped them an e-mail but no response. but it may be quite out of the way for u to go anchorvale CC?

i dun think it is opened yet...
I just had another round of muscle toning workout this am, grabbing crying dede from home to pcf at 8.15am. He cried outside ntuc for 1/2hr, everyone stared at us. At 8.45, I grabbed him to the pcf, met his favourite teacher at the door, stopped crying immediate when she promised to catch the big bad wolves for him. I dunno how long this is gg to last...helppp!!!

May,
if you are keen on faith infant care, better book the slot fast..i understand its a super long waiting list now...
Wan,
cant comment for you..maybe try let him bring a small toy or some food to sch? Maybe he is still not used to the plc or ppl and just need some comfort from familiar stuff? My son will still bring toys to sch, teachers already told me not to let him bring cos they had to look for it at the end of the day..haha..
But when i dun let him bring, he will appear not willing to go sch and start tearing...So i told teacher, loss is okie, as long as i can deposit a happy kid to sch and go off to work! Sometimes i managed to talk him into switching the toy for a sandwich or small pc of cake...

Hi Ivy,
Go for the maternity shoots!
Hubby (reluctantly) & Jx (happily) went w me then & in the end we enjoyed ourselves alot.
Jx did alot of funny poses w/o prompting, e.g. feeding Jb w a large toy milk bottle thru my belly button.
It was a v fun session, & not to mentioned all the nice nice pix that were taken!
Hi Wan,
What time does sch start?
May b u dont go too early & wait outside?
Jx used to bring his Hippo soft toy to cc for 1st few mths till it even appeared in his year end class pix!!
hahahahaa... :b

may,
it takes a while to 'convert' back to working mode. but with a good working environment and supportive bosses/ colleagues, it's gg to be easier.
I just want to recce cherie hearts in case my MIL can't cope with little cousin (in case u ask me if I'm preggy again), arriving in Mar

always give snacks to my child before meals or before milk time.
BTW, I am a part-time pre/post/baby massage massue. Anyone interested , pls email [email protected]. Thanks.

slimz,
I really ran out of stamina. I know he hasn't been mixing with children his own age b4 meimei's arrival. it is difficult for him to adapt to school environment for the following reason:
1. 3 hrs in a 'locked-up' classroom, except for outdoor time
2. getting along with other children, children r excited and rough when playing which he doesn't like
3. 'imaginary' big bad wolf which I already ask his teacher to 'catch' and make sure it doesn't come out from the story book
4. did not understand English instruction well but has improved tremendously over a short time
5. doesn't like to participate, is an observer
how how how? I won't delay this problem by withdrawing him from sch as it will repeat next year, K1, K2 until P1...

shannon,
he is a different person after school, can talk about everything, his new friends, new songs, new crafts, what happened in class etc. but only cry from 7-9am every morning.
the teachers are giving him alot of attention, so much so that she can help him change into his uniform, enter the classroom b4 th rest of the classmates (which I think other staff r not very supportive). they told me he is starting to participate in class already.
my son is too pampered liao. when my hb was disciplining him last night, my MIL bulge in and pass him water and 'saved' him. no matter what we do is useless, cos he has dotting grandparents who give in to him for whatever he wants. I will try to enrol meimei in childcare if there is vacancy after she turn 18mth. dun want another pampered kid
