bkkgal,
I have one suggestion, use nappy instead of disposable diapers. I used to "recycle" the diaper for my son cos so wasted to throw away since it's not soiled but it caused him rashes. I remembered I had some nappy covers since DD1's time so I switched him to that, more economical and hygenic.

Lezy,
About the maid's story, you know what, that happened to my ex-collg's relative in Msia. Maid's a great baker and she had been baking alot throughout her several years stay with her employer. She requested to bake a cake to bring home but forgot and was crying on her way to the airport. Employer didn't know there were hidden jewelries in the cake and bought her a cake from the airport to bring home. When they got home and sliced the cake, they were horrified to see their jewelries inside!

re: maid's horror story
time to contribute.
my sis's temporary phil maid dance in front of my nieces and nephew with only underwear on. she's practicing her dance movement as she was planning to runaway and be a nude dancer.
there was a time she purposely touched the p* of my nephew and told him that it will turn hard when he grows up.

luckily she's only the temp one. but it's so terrible..

tongtong, yah my boy also same..he can fall asleep easily in the car/pram but when he's on his own, he just seems to have a lot of energy.
We bring him outdoors very often and he still doesn't really get tired..too much energy. Many times I fall asleep beside him while he still talks and sings to himself before he finally gives in to the zzzz monster.
Dunno wtih no. 2 how..he's used to me sleeping beside him as he falls asleep.

That's so horrible, your sis' temp maid! Maybe she has a sideline. Goodness.
Reena
If accident, I think nappy cannot hold all her pee leh. I tried 2 inserts in the bumwear but it's so thick she refused to wear.
Iso
The 1 for 1 offer is for Cherating, Phuket and Bali only. For Bintan, it's free stay for kids. But not worth it for ours. Have you used the Petit Club Med service for 2-3 yos before? How much must we pay?

xy,
That maid is horrible! How did your sister find out? And how old are your nieces and nephew?
Iso,
Rgdg cloth diapering, since she can keep her diapers dry most of the time, even got accident also should be once and not twice right? Then I think should be able to hold cos for my son (who's coming 5 and I'm assuming his urine is definitely more than a 2 yo), when he has accidents, the bed not wet leh. I find inserts uncomfortable, I used it once on my son and he refused to wear it, now left with so many inserts and some even brand new! Nothing beats the old traditional cloth nappies ;-)

2 mths before i popped, i insisted on hb putting No. 1 to bed. She was used to falling asleep with me as well. Now, the 2 of them hv a bedtime routine together while i spend time nursing No.2. Try to get someone else to put ur No1 to bed. Also good to let No 1 spend some time away from home. I let mine sleep overnight with grandparents before popping. The first weekend home from hosp, I was so grateful for my parents who offered to take her for the weekend and she didn't miss us!

Xy, thanks, let me know when stocks arrive.
bkkgal, okie I'll try it out in March. Just stockpile L size diapers recently.
Tute, RaeAnne loves to play with her cup of water than to brush teeth. You can try to teach to gargle with a cup of boiled water first in case Cayleb swallows it, it's still ok. Once you can see that he can gargle and spit then change to tap water.
Genice, nowadays I only 'date' mummies who understand my need for flexible timing cos I BF. Usually I meet them for lunch but can only sms them a few hrs before on time to meet after my morning feed. ;P

morning to all!
XY,
thanks for letting me know regarding toothpaste! is First Teeth also the ones that u recently ordered with the mummies? If yes and there's spare, can i get one from u? any flavour is fine as long as a 2yo can use.
Ordering books online/reading to kids
Need some advices here...i'vent been a diligent mummy in reading to G. was very zealous in the initial days and bought a number of those "items-identifying" board books (vs. those 'story books' with some story line). but G don't seem to be keen and prefer those 'story books' with story line. Problem is, i can't seem to find suitable story books to read to him... all seems too wordy and the pictures don't illustrate much. He can't understand and requires more visual stimulation i think. any recomendations? is it possible to remind me again the few online book websites that have been mentioned a couple of times here?
time for me to buy books....no time to go to the shops think i should order online and not put this off any longer ;p
Maid
I have also recently hired an Indon maid, seems ok but to be honest i haven't been keeping close watch on what she does. my instructions are often to wash this and that, pick up after the men cos hb and kiddo are major mess makers. She can't understand English so more than often got resort to body language = i m doing it. e.g ask her to fetch the soy sauce(i said "xi you" -teochew, she came back with a pair of scissors). sighs. also rather slow in doing things. to be fair she is diligent but sloooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww lor. dunno how to train her also cos i've told her so many times to finish a certain task by a certain timming but she simply can't do it. when i speak to her, she will always nod her head and say "yes", but the result is not what was desired (e.g the soy sauce example)

morning mummies!
today surprisingly not too busy.

np! safe travels!

recently i bought quite a lot of "step into reading" books, mostly on Thomas, some from Disney's Cars. I bought from acmamall.com and booksdepository.co.uk, but I learnt of it from one of the BPs. I find level 1 and 2 are suitable for them at this age. You can search "step into reading" on amazon to see the range. but I find that i like the content of some books better than others, some i don't quite like their writing style.

mummies do you buy groceries for her to cook or ask her what she wants to cook then go and buy?

Hi Iso,
Thanks!
Will check it out
Maids
Mine doesn't cook (can't even communicate, what to do) but from what i know, it usually starts with us making the decisions (we buy groceries and tell her what to cook), after sometime when the maid has been with the family long enough, the maid will almost auto tell u what to buy cos she feels like cooking particular dishes.

Hi Iso
Maldives! That's so nice. Are you bringing E? He'll love the marine life. I went during my 2nd trim with K. Managed to snorkel with my bump. hehe. Very relaxing.
Am considering ClubMed but wonder if doable with 1 tod+1 bb. Will hubs and me peng san from 4 days with them ALONE??
Maid/cooking
You should buy the food and tell her what to cook. If you let them decide, they will cook all kinds of wierd stuff for you. The maid's duty is to keep track of everyday essentials that are running out e.g. toilet paper, detergent, rice, sugar, sauces etc and let me have a list of what needs replenishing. I am a dictator when it comes to food. haha.
Tute
Saw ur fb mesg yday. is C better? Dun worry too much.
Tong
I read a book abt how our kids "act up" when we are around to get our attention. Because they dun see us around often, so whenever we are with them, they tend up fuss/tantrum/act up more in order to get us to notice them. K is like S - when we are at home on weekends, she would rather forgo her naps. But with mom/mil, she will happily nap long long. Almost as if she can't miss a minute with us. Take it as a compliment

Tongtong,
MIL still taking care of G, maid will help out on the housework. of cos maid will help to 'jaga' when we all need a break (go supermarket, toilet, etc) my boy likes the maid very much thou, cos she never scold/beat him mah. nowadays when we scold him he will quickly run to her and hide behind her.
so mummies considering maids have to be mentally prepared for this 'competition'. for me i've gotten over it, for i think i really do need a maid to ease my burden. no point having a child's full attention but being frustrated all the time becos im over-stretched with work and housework.
Chinese books from Pelangi
how to order? can you let me know the website?

Iso, bkkgal, Maldives, that's one of my dream holiday without the kids. LOL
bkkgal, I didn't know it is possible to snorkel while preggie or I would have insisted on going there when I was preggie with RaeAnne during 2nd trimester too. Being the first baby, the grandparents were quite gan cheong esp my mum and didn't want me to fly anywhere. So, I ended up going for star cruise only.

Go to the Maldives on your wedding anniversary without the kiddos! Stay in a villa and just indulge in couple time. Very romantic.
Snorkelling is like swimming except that you put on the snorkel mask. I didn't put on the flippers cos just our villa stands over the ocean, so it was easy to just go down from the steps with the gear and float ard looking at the fish.

Dun worry, at the end of the day, our children are our children. The maid(s) will come and go. Research by the Singapore Children's Society shows that children who are not shown parental discipline feel something amiss in their growing years because they feel that parents did not care enough to tell them right from wrong. Good thing that you have a healthy perspective.

hello mummies..
iso.. wow.. Maldives.. my dream place to visit too before it 'disappears". U going club med there? can i just check with you how much is the total fare price inclusive accom per pax? I was just wondering whether the prices have dipped slightly cause in all honesty, i always find it a bit ex to go there.
Pauline! Go without the kids and u may come back with a 3rd one.. haha.. i will probably not bring them if i am going..hehe.. must enjoy the romantic trip once in a while.
Re: Something happy to share
Yesterday, we went to IKEA and bought a very simple table and chair set for Gwen. I think she was quite surprised and dun mention it, super excited when she saw us fixing it at home. And we taped a plastic sheet over it to prevent her from scribbling. After we are done with it , we told her "Ok, we are done."Then, surprisingly,Gwen said something when we least expected it. She looked at us in the eyes and told us " xie xie papa" " "xie xie mama" and happily sit on the chairs.. We were shocked and very touched.. haha cause we never expected her to say thank you to us ( normally she requires some prompting) and honestly speaking i din even think of telling her to say thank you cause to us it just such a normal thing .My hubby was saying that made all the sweat worth it when fixing up the table and chairs..

we going to club med cos the last NATAS fair they had 1 for 1 offer, so it's less than $1.8k for TWO adults for 4N, not including air fare, but all meals provided. Flights on SQ can vary between $600 to about $1 - 1.3k which is the current price but we using our miles for that. there are also other resorts which are cheaper than club med, and IMHO it's such a great destination because it's only 4.5hrs away by flight (you can't even get to say, Redang in such a short time), sometimes got pretty reasonable deals, and the waters are JUST amazing.
G is so sweet!!! really melts your heart when they say such things hor?

just to share. i feel a little guilty for what i did to A ytd. she was suppose to take her nap but refused to. was very "high" and kept moving ard in the room. we had the door closed as we switched on the aircon. in the end i got fed up and pushed her out of the room and closed the door on her. she cried so pitifully. when i let her in, she slept within minutes. now i think back i feel very bad

Bkk/tong,
thanks, he's better now... Fever gone and just left wih cough due to his continuous screaming and crying. Hopefully appetite will return soon because when he was sick he didn't want to eat or drink milk... Theonly thing he wants is water. Was worried because i'mgoing away forthe first time leaving c behind and then he fell sick.
Iso,
thanks... Very cold here, hope I don't get sick. Listening you talk about the beach makes me wish i'mthere now! Haha...

Iso, bkkgal, I definitely plan to go Maldives one day but sigh, got to target the child friendly places first.
Iso, I didn't know it's only 4.5 hrs by flight, similar to HK then.
Genice, haha, no. 3? Don't think so leh. My hubby not the romantic type and we are not sure about no. 3 yet.
Gwen so sweet. Makes you want to hug and kiss her hor. I love it when RaeAnne comes forward to kiss me when I pucker up my lips or make lip smacking sounds.

bkkgal,
Info of research by Singapore child society is helpful.
I am puzzled recently on that job of disciplining E falls on me alone.
Just told DH "if you all(DH, ILs and helper) don't pamper E so much, I may relax a lot and can pamper instead of disciplining our little girl.".
Hehe.......luckily, my girl still hugs and kisses me much when she and I are playing alone....
