Morning, mummies!
Initially wanted to go for my monthly checkup but ended up bringing my girl along too since she is still having mild flu for a couple of days.
But after visiting the doc's, it was raining cats and dogs and both of us were stucked under a void deck for sometime.... Haiz.... Then managed to brave some rain and went to Mac for breakfast. Now she is back home with me...
Wanted to logon to start working but coy's server seems down.... Aiyo really like 1/2 day gone and no work is done... Wonder if I should just apply leave or act blur and try logging on later?

Yvonne, I just got the Raising your spirited child book that I ordered from book depository yesterday. There is a chapter on how to choose the right school for your spirited child and what to look out for when you go and visit the school. Wish I read that before visiting the CC, could have picked out a child that was like mine and see how the teacher dealt with her. haha.
Regarding CC
I was talking to Raeanne's Chinese PG teacher just now and she said my gal is the stubborn sort. Must have her way. But she is independent and will take care of her own things, keep the things into her own bag, make sure her things are inside etc.
She said her son also attended CC from the beginning but at home still cannot sleep through. She said her son kept coming out of his room to look for her, said he is scared. Until he grew bigger, he developed a close bond with his younger sister than started to sleep through.
As for chinese language, she thinks my gal is fine cos she can communicate to her in Mandarin, although still biased towards English. Also, she said since me and hubby speak mandarin at home. should be no problem.
Oh well, think I'll probably send her to CC next year bah. Elfa also never call me to follow up since last Fri.

kitsune,
Yah, it's more of how the teachers deal with our children...hahaha. I'm quite lucky that his current english teacher puts in effort to find ways to handle B. She will discuss his behaviour with me and we will come up with a method together. Sometimes we will tell me to praise him more when he's good and we'll monitor from there. I'm grateful that she's able to see his good points and tries to handle each child based on their different personalities.
I'm using some of the advices from the book and it seems to work for B. Nowadays he's starting to get picky on food and always spits out if something is not to his liking. I used to scream and scold him but now I try to get him interested by telling him he will grow tall if he eats dinner and will be able to press the 11 button in the lift. I also tell him his classmates eats a full bowl of rice and how tall and good they are...hehe...he seems to buy into this theory so he's been eating his dinner properly.
If I can control my temper and reason with him nicely, he's more eager to listen and accept lor. Sometimes easier said than done cos our energy and patience already running low by evening so tend to get angry when they start spitting out food or throw tantrums. But seeing that it works, I'll try to keep my cool now.

Yvonne, I have been telling RaeAnne to eat a lot so that she will grow tall tall and can touch the monkey on the wall height chart I have. It worked for only a few times. Then, she decided to bring a stool and stand on it. Then, she will tell me proudly, mummy, me touch monkey, me tall tall already. Duh... have to keep coming up with new methods to trick her just to eat or sleep. Such basic things leh. Tired...

her Pg teacher also told me recently that she will help herself to other kids' food eg. mamee, crackers, biscuits etc. Though she has her own bread, cakes or cookies. Told her that she must eat her own food and ask for teacher's permission to see if the other kid is willing to share. But she thinks it's a buffet table. Duh...

Mandy paiseh I never compare the prices but I always buy my own multivits, my dog's, my parents' glucosamime & my boy's multivits from vitacost.
I check the labels and the qty to consume a day to determine worth it or not, enough vitamins & minerals or not
btw I think (not sure) if our kids overconsume it will not be absorbed and then discharge out via urine or sweat etc. So I tend to give cautiously
I give this to x:
http://www.vitacost.com/Rainbow-Light-Gummy-Bear-Essentials-Multivitamin-and-Multimineral
You can get frm GNC, selling this for 29.90

I was like you exactly! Very bad sore throat, esp during the sleeping time. Already started on Sunday, but hang on till Tuesday afternoon then I took mc for 1.5 days, cos there was a meeting on Tuesday noon. Almost okay lioa, but yesterday when the kids got home, I got to entertain them, raise my voice, etc, then my throat hurts again :-(
<font color="0000ff">Scott's Emulsion</font>
HR took it enthutiastically for 3 days, then zipped his mouth, refusing it already. Oh well, luckily I bought the small bottle, only $3+ only. May try again next week.
<font color="0000ff">Yvonne</font>
HR has also become a picky eater. I would have gone mad if I am a SAHM. I think he is not really picky about the food, but it's rather that he knows he has a CHOICE with the parents! At school, he eats just everything, meat, veg, fruit, whatever given in the bowl, he finishes it, sometimes even asks for 2nd serving. At home, he totally refuses veg, being green leafy or those rooty veg, he would also spit out and use his hands to cover his mouth until I remove all the veg from his bowl. We don't scold/scream at him, because we know he is eating well at school, so we just let him be, rather than forcing him (for this, I am glad I am not a SAHM). We tried to be optimised and told ourselves that it's part of his learning process, that he is learning to follow his own choice rather than follow what we told him to. We take it positively. Hope the tactics you learned work well on B.

HR cried when we sent him to cc yesterday (like his ex-teacher predicted, it's the 3rd day!!!). But we later figured out it's because we were not in our office wear, that's why he felt "betrayed" cos he might have thought we were going out to play. Today I came to work and he has no problem going to school, went in happily! His teacher said he fits in very well with the Nursery class, she was amazed that he knows more and learns faster than the older kids, even those 1 year older than him!

Kam,
So HR is just testing his limits and boundaries with you
I've learnt to go liao. They will eat when they're hungry. B usually finishes his lunch without any trouble (probably hungry and tired after school) so I just let him be if he refuses dinner. But he will usually eat when my hubby is having his dinner.
But B is not being picky on food (except he doesn't really like meat nowadays) but rather the way the food is served. For example, when we're having pizza, I need to cut it into a perfect square without any melted cheese hanging around the corners in order for him to eat. If he spots something hanging out from the sides, he will reject and tell me to cut it smaller...sigh. It's part of his "spirited" character cos he's persistent about such details. Just have to find ways to get around it. For dinner today, I made chicken stew and I cut the chicken into tiny whiny bits and scooped the vegetables on top. So he only saw the carrots, onion and potatoes and promptly finished the meal...hahaha.

hello mummies,
me back to forum...past few days was hectic, my girl was down with periorbital cellulitis infection of the eyelids since tuesday. Went TMC on tuesday night and was warned that it can lead to serious complications and if the swelling did not come down, will need to be admitted. Doc adviced us to seek advice from her PD (happens that night the clinic was not open). So wednesday morning brought her to see PD, the lids are even more swollen, almost can't see her eye. PD gave her a jab of antibiotics cos no matter how hard and how many methods we tried, couldn't get the antibiotics into her system. Changed antibiotics and was also given Zrytec. Luckily, the swelling went down after 1 day, went for review this morning, PD say her recovery was fast and now just need to keep giving her antibiotics for another 6 days.
Went for my check up on wednesday after dropping my girl off at home and ended waiting at the clinic for a few hours, gynae was stuck with labour complications, ended up waited in vain and revisit her again yesterday. Failed my OGTT last week and was asked to do my prick test now, diet control is needed now. Hopefully after this week, the visits to clinic will lessen. Oh hubby is more hectic cos in between he brought his dad to the Orthopaedic a couple of times due to a slipped disc, so this whole day for him, in and out of clinics and hospitals...

Luvv,

Thanks, jacelyn. Hope your mil doesn't take it too hard. I think she is upset cos she thinks your maid is malingering. Maybe next time tell your mil how bad it is and let your mil tell her to use magic mop for time being so that she got more 'face' in front of the maid. Some maids very clever, act very poor thing and 'su4 ku3' in front of the sympathetic one to gain pity. My maid is like that. I am also very upset when my mil ask me to let the maid have afternoon nap and buy birthday present for the maid but not me. Told hubby my mil treat maid better than me.
Hi ladies, this forum is still so alive. Have been MIA for ages! How's everyone doing? Any exciting plan for ndp?
Geez, everyone is having no.2 and more to share. My ah boy also started to be very picky with food. Sian and he's losing like so much weight.
Anyone in the tpy or novena area sending kids to kindergarten for nursery with good recommendation of any schools? Have been so busy at work that I had little time to follow up.

Wah, X can speak in full sentences and so polite some more!!! My girl will only say "I want this, I want that..." when she wants something from me...
Hernia is a form of swelling or protrusion of an organ... According to my coll, her doc said it is quite common among newborn and normally will recover by itself when baby is 1 yr. But now her baby is 11 mths and the swell is still there... So her doc thinks it will not recover by itself and need op. It can be in any organs... I think if not remove, can cause dsyfunction.... For her son, it is in the testicles.... sad hoh.
