i think kids starts to learn how to draw within the lines (or dotted lines etc), before graduating to ABCs...
if a child cannot grasp the concept of writing "strokes" (cultured through dots-to-dots activity books etc), then it would be hard for them to write out the A, B, C, even they know how to write in their mind...but when they draw out an "A" then it would looked wrong...then get frustrated
drawing lines, connecting dots etc...also builds your child's errrr "patience"...my ah boy X dont have such patience lar...he connect a bit liao then give up n scribble all over the pages
but hor, i know some schools n parents teaches ABCs immediately leh...above only my 2cents

We went there on 1 Oct. some rides T cannot play cos of his height. But he played 2 other roller coasters with us ! haha He's brave. I told him IF he's scared just close your eyes and scream so immed he closed his eyes and scream !!!!
We had great fun there starting from 10am right up to 7pm and as we were there on Fri we get to go back again later at 9.30pm for fireworks but we didnt la.. so tired and sticky le...
Overall I wd say is quite small. And the big roller coaster (dont know wat's that known as) is stil closed. And my camera was low batt that day ! didnt take much fotos and Iphone camera sucks !
Buy the popcorn from the pop corn bus near the entrance ! It's very nice ! I was told that we can go in at the rate of $8 just to walk around and buy food and merchandise !

hello mummies,
am super zombified!! it's only 2 nights of handling both kids alone, snapped yesterday at big C cos she refused to sleep and small C can't sleep due to her voice. Lucky Big C continues to sleep soundly even when her sister wails in the night for milk. So tired, lucky can pass bb to maid when she wakes up in the morning so i can catch some sleep.
Really KOW TOW to all the mummies who can manage 2 kids or even 3 kids + breastfeed + housework all by themselves....hubby is not going to be home for another week plus, hope things can improve before he comes back.

Hi, steph.
Enjoy your day at USS! It can be quite hot during the day so bring a fan and lots of water for your boys.
I am also starting to teach Issyen to draw lines via dotted line... Now trying to find suitable worksheets that contains bigger fonts of the dotted ABCs...

Chaye,
Great to know that you had fun!! I don't know if HR would be brave enough for the roller coaster. I am guessing he would
Oh the one after dark one, it's only $5. You can go there from 7pm onwards. Only the main street, and firework at 9.30pm. We have tried. All restaurants are super crowded. Don't make plan to have dinner there.
Pixie,
Last weekend, it's 2.3x.
Luvv,
They need time to adjust to the change (daddy not around). They should be better in the next few days. Meanwhile hang on there! And remind yourself to relax relax, it's okay if they get to sleep late this 1-2 weeks, when they are tired, they will sleep, eventually
krystle,
Can try to print our worksheets online?

Yes, for the entry tix that you paid, you are given $5 food vouchers and $5 retail voucher each. 4 of u will add up to $20 food and $20 retail vouchers.
and Yes, you can choose to stay within USS if not you can exit and mention that you will come back for the fireworks and they will stamp on you.
It's enough time to try all the rides like we all did except for one indoor rides that my #1 didnt pass the height so we give it a miss. You can even have time to go for 2nd round or 3rd round nearer to closing time cos most ppl have left. That's the trick I think ! hahah
Most rides waiting time is approx 30-45mins and it will be shown on the electronic board outside the Q. The most enjoyable ride is the waterslide which is quite scary but fun. You risk to get wet though. Bring along some poncho if you have cos it's selling like $2 per pc there. We didnt get that wet but I do see others r soaked ! Both my hubby and myself took turns to take the ride with #1 cos T is not tall enuf to play.

yooo...bo liao a bit, just sharing some info
catching up a bit on reading now that my ms is gone...borrowed some books
i've got 1 book titled "divas and dictators - the secret to much behaved child"
you know in market there are so many books with so many techniques on bringing up our kids, so i thought i share this author's
he is a behavioural specialist for kids, especially for special kids...perhaps i think thats why his books are more about behaviours
he advocates the 6-for-1 technique
meaning for every 1 critism, heaps 6 praises. it must be this ratio. it takes lots of efforts but it can be done.
why? because kids thrive on praise. we often emphasise on their negativity but not their good behaviours. by praising your child, they want/yearn to become better behaved.
eg if your #1 snatches away #2's toys within 5 mins, #1 is only naughty for 30seconds, but he is well behaved for 4mins & 30secs. we tend to overlook that...the trick is you must catch your child on the times that your child is doing right. which means, praise when he/she is not doing anything wrong.
praise can be matter of factly eg "you shared your toys", "you put your shoes away". too much of "good job!" or "wonderful!", "excellent" makes your child not believing it in the long run. must praise the good action, not their characteristics...
the rest of the book touches on time out, rewards vs bribes (its a huge difference!), routines and rules. mostly common sense that we take for granted and needs reminding
so mummies, can try the 6for1 method. who knows with consistency, it works for a particular behaviour that you want to correct...

pixie,
Think it's not cheap to cook, regardless of the no of pax. But it's about healthy diet rather than $$.
Oh yes, X is VERY EARLY for everything! 7-8pm is dinner time for HR! Nowadays he only goes to bed at 10-11pm
krystle,
Depending on what you cook bah. If it's 2 simple stir fried dishes, shouldn't be ex.

ok lah...but u ok to meet at my mil blk as usual or where u wanna meet?
kam
now got #2 everything must 省省省 but just now i was also telling myself, its home cooked food, so nevermind bah
i oso dunno why X is early for everything. i think my routine started from beginning when he was a newborn, he slept at 730...then slowly as he grew older, he started "lunch" and "dinner"...all the timing must match his "early" night sleep. hence everything push early if we count backwards
and also at my mil place. for eons, their lunch n dinner always served at 1130am and 530pm
i couldnt take it when i got married with hb...who eats dinner at 530pm??!! now, we all eat dinner at 530pm during weekends cheyyy
