Calamari,
Kayla is so photogenic..nice cover pic!
Mummies,
Any GD mummies here? Can share what's the progress like so far?
My bb has been refusing to look at the cards for quite a while now. She'd rather look at books or picture cards. Sometimes she'll take the GD card from us and "show" it to us instead..sigh, not sure how to rekindle her interest. She was ok until abt 8 mths old when she became more mobile.

*xin-ma* : kayla is so natural on camera
.. . maybe she will on tv soon.. i remember seeing 1 of the gals in the baby series on ch8.
jasmine : are you doing sentences with your boy now or just couplets and words? i just started my gal on reading programme 2 mths back when she done basic maths (before numerals).
After reading the GD book and watch "Your baby can read" , i am teaching little gal to read in my modified program.. ha ha ha
So far, she still enjoys looking at plain word cards and she can point the correct body parts when we ask her *sometimes*..

RE: GD cards
I think to clarify, you cannot mix the picture cards with the words cards.
If baby gets "bored", you go on 6 cards instead of the 5 cards. You use 2 new cards each day.
With more new cards, baby will concentrate better as it does not bore them with what they already know.
Shah, my girl was losing concentration at about 9 months old. Then i switched to using this 6 cards instead of 5 cards. It helps alot.
perhaps you can try.
Did u buy the cards from GDbaby?
If so, you can call lawrence when you face such prob immediately. He will advise u. I find him quite good.

Shah did u do the cards with ur baby everyday?
Lawrence advised to do so only on weekdays and weekends, we play around with the older cards.
We printed pictures and pasted behind e word cards. Show e words briefly then show the pictures to help her build a connection between words n the pictures.
I am not sure whether she has learnt anything much from this pictures and words.
But now, if i were to give her a few cards and ask her to pick e correct word, she is able to do so most of the time.

gd morning mummies!
summer's mama,
i bought the cards from GD baby before my bb was born. Lawrence came to my place on the first week after me delivery and showed us how to use the black and white picture cards and dots cards.
Subsequently i didn't have time to go down to GD for the training but i had finished reading the Reading and Maths book and tried to follow whatever the book said.
But honestly, following the book is too stressful cos they required 3 sets of 5 cards per day and drop 3 cards per day and flash at least 3 times a day for each set. With me being a FTWM is really not possible. So i kept to one set of 5 cards per day and drop 1 card per day.And i also did the maths dots cards at the same time. This i did on a daily basis as far as possible unless we had something on.
She was ok until abt 8 mths old and she didn't really want to look at the cards anymore. So i thought maybe i was going a bit too slow so i added another set of 5 cards but to no avail.
Ok, maybe i'll try to find the pictures to go with the cards. Where did you print the pictures from?

sputnik,
i was in brisbane in Feb and i must say that the variety of baby food is really good.And cheap too!
Oh, and look out for sales at target. They have really good toys sale. I bought a Leap Frog tricycle there. Thought it was a good buy as it has very good features.

Hi Shah,
I didnt really read the book.
Yes I bought from lawrence before i delivered too. Haha. KS mommies, arent we?
Lawrence did mention not to follow what the book says, esp for FTWM. In fact, showing too many times will bore the baby.
Im doing two sets of 6 days for english ( one set in e morning, one set at night), as well as the math one. Math one we are doing prob solving now. I HATE sorting out e math cards! But at this stage it's ok.
I just did a ramdom search on e internet.
U can try getty images or just yahoo images.
What we did was we tried to play around with words like family members first, or body parts, followed by animals. My girl has a strong interest towards animals. We bought her those animal figurines and played around those animals alongside with the cards.
You can try to get those too. =)

Have you book your accomodation?

sputnik: get Konfidence swim wear from Oz, much cheaper. Bought Fisher-Price & Playskool (Hasbro) toys during their Target sale as well and they had a lot more variety in Oz than in Singapore. Sometimes they have the Buy 1 and get the next toy at half price promo.
Seems many have brought their babies to Oz or are going to Oz. Can't wait for my Brisbane trip in July too!

sputnik: have u booked your accomodation? Angel recommended me www.not1night.com.au which I find its quite good. Stefylim booked hers through www.wotif.com, also quite competitive rates.
Amy: Nice !!! Salute your endurance for the late nights to complete this !!
Koori: Very nice and sweet cake!! Hope Kaylen has enjoyed herself !!
Mummies, can I check if anyone has brought babies for a full body massage for their well being? as in, to make them recover faster from their illness e.g flu and cough ..
Xavier's phlegm came back again and made him cough. Thinking of bring him for a long term massage to improve his immunity.
