Clover, I bought a machine to make cereal, juices and other things else. My mum asked me to soak grains ( like brown rice, wild rice, quinoe, millet, buckwheat etc) overnight then next day, boil the grains for a while, add in rolled oats, then pour into the machine with the water and blended for 3 minutes. Then the cereal is ready.
Genice, yea, oat cereal using grains and rolled oats lor. But just for weekend la. weekdays I still provide instant cereal from HT.
Re: Cornflakes
I also looking for natural cornflakes without sugar one. Havent found yet though. Anyone knows?
Abc mummy: how often do you give avocado and how much each time? I find that shaun will shit many times the next day after eating avo. I gave half. And the poo is greenish. Dunno whether is normal?
Apple: if you want to try other brand of brown rice, you can soak the rice overnight/soak a few hours before cook. And the portion of water have to be 1:1.5, some 1:2
Xiaoyun: I have the list of organic shop in sg, go dig out for u when at home.
Grace: no salt no sugar for home cooked food. Unless I let him try outside food

RaeAnne doesn't like tomato?
C's ok with it, be it steamed one with fish or the raw cherry tomato. i thought they like something a bit sour and sweet, more appetizing?

XY, ya, I think she takes after my hubby, doesn't like sour stuff. Once she tastes something that's sour, she pushes the food to us. Today she was directing my spoon to scoop my macaroni then holding my hand to bring the spoon into my mouth. My daughter trying to feed the mummy already. Faint. ;P

XY, haha, ya she is quite sticky to me sometimes, simply cos I can't bear to just snatch something away from her (unless it's electric socket) and make her cry. Usually I'll distract with something else or just let her touch the thing briefly then bring her away. My hubby on the other hand has no qualms about being the bad guy.
pauline,
we can't snatch things from C one. she will cry till cannot see the eyes and with tears.
everytime need to get another thing to exchange with her. or help her analyse the stuff on her hand the slowly distract her by exchanging with another item.
qoosan,
i don't know how bad is that for my gal.
she's ok with it last week. but refuse it last night.
she accept bottle previously?

mummies!
this is a cheap thrill for me, but i saw the Duggars on TV (think it's discovery home and health), they have 20 kids! then when i saw that they had a book "The Duggars : 20 and counting! : raising one of America's largest families--how they do it / Michelle & Jim Bob Duggar", i was quite interested in it.
i realised the library didn't carry it, so i wrote in to suggest that they could consider adding it to their collection, and they did! it's now available for loan - one book for each branch

yah! that's exactly how i feel. feels good to contribute, right? what was your suggestion about bus lanes?
leila
not really fan, but seen 1 episode a few times (they always seem to show the same one). do they have a series? Jon n Kate they always seem to be fighting q a bit leh, i dun like it so much. and i always wonder why after getting twins thru IVF (i'm assuming that's how they got the twins), they'd want to go thru again to get another 6. wah liao! heh.

hey my fave show on discovery channel is jon n kate + 8. can't believe the duggars are having more than 20kids! did they count their married first born's baby?
leila, how do u know the gosselins are millionaires? i think the $5 allowance is when the sextuplets were still v young...
i'm sleep training alex these 2 weeks by setting more regular nap times for him. hopefully next time can join u girls.... but... east side is too far for me. i drive, but i always get lost. haha..

hmm..bbkgal, what did you write to LTA?
Sigh.. Maddy slipped and fell in the bathroom..Got a big 'pao'.. my heartache...

I kena a fine for driving in bus lane. So I wrote in to tell them that between the slip road leading into bus lane and distance from there to the entrance of express way is too close which does not give enough leeway for drivers to filter out and can cause a jam in the 2nd/3rd lane during peak hours. They waived my fine but LTA stationed an officer at the bus lane for few weeks to video the traffic conditions. After that, they drew more dotted lines and reduced the bold line. I'd like to think it's because of my suggestion. hee!
Iso
shall go borrow Duggars book then! hehe. can suggest more kiddy boardbooks to library or not? I regularly lug back library books for K to flip.
Leila
L found the show entertaining? pity it's too far for me.
Clover
so cute and u can catch it on video cam some more. always by the time i rush to get the cam, she lost interest to say liao.

bkkgal, is the place you are talking about near CGH? Cos it sounds so familiar. haha.
Leila, ya got no car, can understand. For me, it's the same when I'm SAHM when hubby is not around. But I'm lazier than you, will definitely take taxi if I'm bringing my gal unless it's only a few bus stops to interchange.

well, i'm sure even if you weren't the main reason they changed the rules, you definitely helped to create the change, so you should be happy!
hmm i dun really have many books to recommend, that reminds me that i should really read to him more! i quite like the books by Priddy Books, as well as Eric Carle, but not all Eric Carle books are nice - some of them the drawings i find quite "messy".
clover

Re: MMR

bbkgal, i think can take the MMR jab. My bb took the jab a few mths ago, but he hasnt tried egg yet. PD never mentioned must eat egg before the jab leh.

Nicole, RaeAnne got fever from MMR jab exactly 1 week after the jab although PD said should be 5 days later. That's why we planned her jab on 1 June cos we are flying away next week to Penang, don't want her to be sick when ILs are looking after her.
Haha, bkkgal, even my CEO asked one of the staff to talk to LTA about it. It's a bad decision on LTA side, end up the ambulances are stuck at the PIE exit but they can't exit due to the congestion caused by the bus lane. I'm so happy when they changed to dotted lines cos I take taxi often those days and the stupid bus lane adds at least $1 to my fare, even worse when they stationed people at bus stops to take photos and book motorists who flout the bus lane. ;P

Pauline,
Oh that's bad - ambulances getting stuck! That should make a very strong case for them to amend the lines.
Ooh, going for your 2nd trimester holiday to Penang? how nice....
Apple
Oh, poor A quite severe reaction to eggs then. Better hold off.
Prob is, K does not even want to swallow the egg...so I don't really know for sure if she has a reaction or not. Even I try to "camouflage" the egg, she will detect it.
Car seat
I buy cheap cheap one from Lucky Baby (Champee), $119 (at that time). I got it from http://babystudio.com.sg/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=27. Free delivery over $100. So far, very good, happy with is as my girl can fall asleep in it. It's nice and padded too.
