Thankful, my gal also likes that. She will pretend to sleep or stretch out on the bumper mat. I'm happy, at least make good use of my bumper mat mah (since I paid so much for it. Hee). Maybe she knows that that's her play/personal area so she got positive association bah.

Thankful sms u liao. So good can guai guai lie down there. My girl is always on the move.
Genice: I am reading the book too. Its really not bad, considering that fact that like you, I can better control myself not to be angry at her cos they are actually not misbehaving and its we adult who misinterpret them.

but at least now we can control a bit more, make ourself happier.. y not.. hehe

kids relaxing after meal and bath:
my boy also likes to just lie on the bed with his pillows/blankets after a bath. He'll just have this very satisfied look on him and will just stare at ceiling/out of window....but just for a while lah, after that will want to get off bed to move abt. i see nothing wrong with it le, adults also have times where they just want to relax and do nothing
. To me, i think some quiet time by themselves doing nothing is good to calm themselves.
TGIF!

esther,
my PD says it is ok for babies older than 1 yr to have fresh milk. But some babies may get a bit of stomach upset in the beginning becos of the higher fat content in the milk, so must try out small amts first. Also, u can warm up the milk then let it cool to rm temp before letting bb drink. Will minimise chances of them getting stomach upset.
I have tried giving my bb fresh milk a few times. Seems ok for him.

Leila,
Just now went to Amore fitness; saw Mygym closing down. If my memory is right; there's Tumbletots at Sembawang(near Sun plaza??). Hehe.... didn't go to either trial yet. What a pity! I thought to try class at nearest place first---Mygym.
E likes to play sand at Sembawang Park sea side; we also bring her to Yishun Safari for swimming. We plan to bring her to bottletree park some time. There's splash(water play & kids play area) at newly renovated Sembawang shopping center----difficult to find parking lots even at weekdays there. So we didn't bring E there for play yet, but my colleagues took bus there and their kids had fun.

Thankful, I thought Apple wanted the Gain IQ vouchers. Anyway, RaeAnne didn't do well on Gain IQ, kenna stomach flu and diarrhoea (saw PD twice) so I had to switch back to Friso. Luckily didn't buy the vouchers from you back then.
Hi, Genice,
Hehe....finished reading "positive discipline book" this week. Good Book, Thanks Garfield.
I saw a book "parents who love too much" at Appendix; and I suggested it to my hubby.
Hi, Thankful,
My gal needs to suck thumb at bed for 10-20 mins after bath, back from outside......
There's one period that she wants to go to bed for hugging blankie and thumb sucking for 10 mins every 30 mins at home.
She is not active; never want to crawl----she never crawled from one room to another, at most crawled for 3 meter to pick up a ball. And she didn't try to walk after being able to walk for some time----good thing is that she seldom fell down after she walked willingly. When we/other people carry her, she never struggled like some other babies---she cried if she disliked. My colleague told me that her son' eyes will blink and start to be super active after waking up; my gal will need at least 10 mins warm-up period---otherwise she will scream.
We think that's in her blood; My hubby and I couldn't think of where she got this genes from; though I feel that myself have something similar, but not as obvious as hers. we may need to descipline/accompany her to do regular exercises when she's teenager.

Apple,
I'm thinking of getting the book too cos if it's really good, I think I'll need to refer to it on a daily basis. Maybe we can combine with emoments to enjoy discounts?
Find that K is starting to throw mini tantrums already. Cld it be that her terrible 2s are starting early???? She can say some words but usually when she wants something, she will point to the thing and say "mama" or "baby" - as in she wants you to give it to her. Usually, I will bring her away to another area if I don't want her to have it and she'll forget abt it quickly.
But it becomes tricky when she's caught touching something she's not allowed to. I smack her hand and scold her but she will cry or run to my mom and cry. What do you mommies do when you encounter this? Do you continue to reprimand her, talk to her, stop her from crying or institute a harsher punishment? On sat, I caught her touching the stereo, so I took her hand away and said "no. cannot touch." but she touched it again immediately. I did that like 10 times (seriously!) until I smack her hand and said "No". After that, we went for a walk. Came back, I went to my room to put something, then I went to living room and I saw the stereo was switched on and she was standing nearby. So I asked her if she switched it on and smack her hand. Then she ran to my mom and cried and threw a tantrum!
another habit of hers that I hate is this thing when she had enough food or she "sian" of the food, she will ptooi it out or let it dribble out of her mouth. I want to correct it but I don't know how. I've tried 1) scolding her in loud tone, 2) say "Mama don't like that" and tap her mouth, 3) wipe her mouth and tell her to "stop that!". But none of it seems to work. sigh...

i think at this age they are testing the limits, i think the suggested discpline is to tell them firmly (more than once if necessary), but also remove them from the item. if he touches something like the power switch, i'm of course more firm and v v serious.
i read somewhere that their brain is not developed enough to "resist" when they want to do something - so sometimes got no choice, must remove them from the situation.
pui food - i will make known my displeasure with a grunt (dunno how to explain, haha) but i think it's ok esp if they are full? also it's quite cute to see that they are growing to become their own person with their own preferences
tantrums, E also starting to do this, so so far i try to be firm (and not give in) and also remove from situation. mummies must have patience ok! don't give in, otherwise they will get spoilt and later you'll have even more headache... maybe after reading the books we can share more tips on how to handle the little rascals
oh, any mummies bring their bbs to the library? mine likes to pull the books off the shelves - he's a menace, making lots of noise and pulling the books off the shelves wonder what i can do to stop him from doing that.

brought C to metro coz i wanna buy some shoes and he happily walks and takes down an entire shoe display along with him... i guess it's normal coz they get very excited? i just said no and return it to the original place...
bkk,
not sure if it helps but my mom gave me a tip that last time she used to let us touch the things e.g. books but she then put it in the original location and soon we understand that that is the right place... i'm trying to do that with cayleb too...whenever he turned on the player i'll just say no, and turn it off. over and ovre and over again. when i get tired i will pull him away or obstruct his way there. he usually gets angrier when he's pulled away rather than being obstructed

Hi, tongtong
Yah...stay in Woodlands.
Hi, iso,
Hehe.....we also put back every book that E bring down..... we often go to library when there's quite noisy at children's section on weekends; sometimes find a corner where E just practice taking down books, sometimes find a shelf where the books are arranged tightly so that E have stength enough to take one book at a time; sometimes bring E to center play area where parents read kids story books & kids run around. When E gets too excited(maybe too happy)and then too noisy, we will remove her from library.
Hi, bkk
Yah...we kinda of trying to put more baby safety gadgets for her to safely explore. If there's something we didn't want her to touch, we hide them/make them unaccessible. Maybe thinking of educating her not to touch when she is around 2.5 years old.

Re: touching
Actually i let gwen wander everywhere and touch anything. I dun really stop her unless its dangerous.I even teach her how to apply powder ion herself. hehe.. I feel that they dun really know when we say dun touch or if we smack her . I will try to carry her away from the location if i dun want her to touch, distract her a bit.. ANyway.. sometimes i let her touch just to satify her curiosity.. i noe once she touched for a few mins.. she will'dump'it and look for new things one.. hehe.. so its ok lor as long as not dangerous/she is not going to spoil anything.
Everyday.. she hangs out at the kitchen with me touch this and that.. so i let her play with the green/red peppers.. ask her put inside bowl and take out.. do 'simple' stuffs with her instead of stopping her lor.so far ok lah.. but today.. she dig into the rubbish dump and take the things and throw on the floor!!!.. i still cannot control myself.. so mack her buttocks.. but she 'no feeling' fake cry a bit then watch tv.. sighz..

hi mummies, a tip!
praise or recognize good behaviors. Ignore negative behavior. U have to be consistent to apply this rule all the time to get results.
Tantrums r part of development. How to deal w tantrums? When child is having a tantrum, ignore the behavior. Wait for child to finish then talk to him. If u start scolding during the tantrum, tendency is they will do tat continually as it warranted an attention. However if u attend to them after tantrum subside, the tantrum will get shorter.
N there's really no need to spank them la!

Hi mummies
Uregently need ur advice on filling up of balloons 4 party. i.e those big balloons like bought fr celebrate express or bd express, those in the shape of cupcakes or animals i.e. 30" and above, must we use helium? Can we just use ordinary air pump i.e. pump swimming float pump to inflate it? My boy's bd is this Sun and overlooked the fact. Can some1 kindly advise. Tks heaps in adv!

Bx: haha ya if not for the fact i see red, i would suspect I am preggie too.
bkk/Qingling: oic, so the shipping shld be lower if heavier, maybe u can better advise. I lousy with the shipping stuffs. But i think even with lower shipping charges, it will be more or less the same price.
Genice: Amanda also dig the rubbish over the weekend when she saw I throw the empty bottle that she was playing with earlier on into the bin. Buay tahan.
Eliaw: Thanks eliaw, will try it out. Really need a lot of patience!

re : discipling kids
eliaw,
i agree wif u on the no need to spank them but then hb disagrees wif me. i guess most pple will tink that if a child is notti, talk 2 him/her once or twice, if still misbehaves, will resort to spank.
genice,
agree wif u tat our childs still dunno at this stage. So sometimes when Cayenne is notti, hb will carry her 2 one corner and start his preaching. I wonder if Cayenne understands her daddy's preaching anot.. Haha...
