<font color="0000ff">Flash Cards</font>
Want to share something incredible with the Mummies here. From the Baby Jumper Gym's class, we realized that our babies can remember things pretty well. Hubby and I experiment with flash cards while we were home on Sat.
We flashed cards at Baby Ian, stating the fruit/vegetable name, then we picked 2 cards out, focus on one card and tell him it's banana for instance. Then we use the 2 cards and exchange places and ask him, "Which is banana?" Baby Ian actually reached for the right picture! Initially, we also thought it's probably luck or coinicidence, so we tried a couple of times with other pictures like apple, blueberries etc and he got them all right. We thought it could be colours, so we used banana and lemon and he still reached for the right picture. Of course, there were some errors along the way, for example, broccoli and cauliflower, he couldnt' differentiate them. But out of 10, I think he can get about 7-8 right. Amazing isn't it? So I think we should all try this at home.

Hi Mylife,
It's ok la..I lost interest in the bag already. That's why didn't ask you to check again.
Kitsune,
The Chinese restaurant located at the basement of Stanford hotel is quite good. My friend gave us a treat at the restaurant. I don't think the hotel is that close to the MTR although it is within walking distance. But it is close to the main street (sell IT stuff, ladies' mkt).
Generally, the hotel rooms in HK are very small. Don't think can accomodate a cot.
Flash Cards
That reminds me I must do it for my no.2!! Spend most of my energy on #1.

As of now, yah, "sort of" staying in HK indefinitely cos of hubby's career. Miss this round, then i also dunno when we'll be going back. CNY next year we also not going back cos this year, hubby took leave for my confinement, so, next year, it's his colleague's turn. He need to go office during CNY one.
violetice
wahhhh...take leave ah? hehe...gam dong lo...but no lah, dont wish for u to waste ur leave lah. Dinner a bit tough, unless it's around 6ish cos my gal (as of now) bedtime is around 8pm.
Anyone else can meetup on Friday evening?
If not, then i'll wait for u all one by one come HK lah!

Town ar. Hmm. How about United Square then? Can walk around if we want and shop for baby's stuffs. LOL. Shucks, I have discipline problems when it comes to shopping!!! JanBB will agree with me. Haha.
United Square got Globetrotters, supposedly a family friendly place.

Stanford sounds not bad, just realise my auntie usually stays at Park Hotel, is that better than Stanford in terms of location and facilities?
Mylife, usually Sun not good for me cos of PT cleaner but since you also stay Tampines, maybe can find a way to meet earlier lar, weekday evening also ok if I can't make it to town.
All the babies so cute at BJG, was just telling hubby that RaeAnne doesn't have this type of mental stimulation.

<font color="0077aa">Re: The speed of the flashcard</font>
Is eye opening for me & my hubby when we saw the speed of the flashcard & how it was done by the teacher during the BJG trial. If there is some other trial lesson for babies on flashcard near your area, shld go & take a look so that you know how to do it.
<font color="0077aa">violetice</font>
Same here!! We bot the flashcards long ago but seldom use & also not doing the right way. And after that lesson, we also try it on Jayden. But i didn't test him out..heehee. I muz go & buy fruits/vege flashcard too & test him...
<font color="0077aa">evening & godsent</font>
So u wanna sign up? I dun mind too. Think godsent also mention she dun mind for some more lessons. How abt the rest?
<font color="0077aa">steph</font>

re: frozen puree food
>> as with all frozen food, i think can keep a few months. But then again, consider if your baby's tastes would hv changed by then. Older babies shld be encouraged to try lumpier food instd of purees.
And there's another concern abt the depletion of nutrients, not fresh etc.
I try to puree as small portion as possible, eg choose the smallest brocolli. I will freeze the excess that can't b consumed within 1-2 days.

I was advised by my friend to buy a range of different category (i.e colors, shapes, numbers, fruits, vege, abc..) Flash 10 cards in each category each day (if got 5 categories, that mean flash 50 cards per day) and do not repeat the same cards in the same day. Me going to buy somemore & try it out too!! I also bot from popular.
To add on, heard that "Daiso" is selling a special kind of "rubber" for our fingers to do the flashcard thingy. It helps to flash the card fast. Only $2 nett.

morning mummies,
started my gal with sweet potato puree. been waking up earlier to steam n prepare my gal's food so that she can bring it to infant care for lunch. i usually place it in the tiger food jar and can last many hours.
kam, can check with u, when u freeze the food, do we freeze it immediately when it is hot or wait for it to cool down then freeze it?
so far, i am still preparing my gal food early in the morning. guess when i cannot tahan already then will start to freeze the food during weekend.
I am like a mad woman every morning nw. rushing, rushing n rushing every morning. Wake up, feed my gal's milk, then pump out excess for her to bring to sch, prepare her sch bag n milk bag, prepare her food, put it to steam and at the same time, i will wash up n shower, then change my gal and let her watch baby esintein while i pack her food into the food jar. and off we go to her infant care before i go to work.
