Hmm... i also noticed rachel cried more often and become cranky easily after the jab lor. somemore stick to me like superglue. B4 the jab she can still follow my MIL. Hope she improved if not me going Macau next week then how lei. Hiaz, hard to avoid especially staying under one root... just hope jorel will be fine.

[cherimoya]

jo, no problem is jorel cannot make it tomorrow. but since u said he's been alright since yesterday then probably will see u tomorrow?

hopefully jorel stays that way.

val, matthias recently also crying in the middle of the night but don't think he's having nightmare cos sounds like he's in pain.. sigh.. and he refuse to open his mouth and appetite not that great. think other teeth are struggling to get out.. haha.. i think mushroom is a natural food enhancer! haha.. cos u see the vegetarian kind of oyster sauce is using mushroom. i love mushrooms of all kinds.. hehe..

choc, raphael so many teeth le, can eat rice liao la.. he doesn't like ar?

ladies, recently i tried this shampoo, not bad. anyone seen this brand in sg before? thinking to get the conditioner to try.
http://www.iherb.com/Avalon-Organics-Biotin-B-Complex-Thickening-Shampoo-14-fl-oz-400-ml/3477?at=0

 

[felval]

choc,
mayb rice is more dry as compared to porridge and rice is plain by itself so raphael dun like. nvm la. slowly la. =)

hahaha. u ask him to wear but did he wear nt?


cheri,
i think they dun seems to like to open their mouth to let us check huh, damien is the same too. his bottom gum 4th tooth is out le...the top gum 4th tooth coming out too coz abit whitish liao.

yes. me too love mushroom of all sorts =) since nw damien can take mushroom i so happy. hahaha.

 

[ant1712]

cheri- which cc u enrol mathias in? yea nw tat i see aldan comin dwn to join the playgrp, cant help but feel he's like grown up liao! keke.. so cute to see him eat tog w the rest of his frens.

jo- oh dear... hope jorel wil be well enough to join us tmr.

alice- we were both shocked to see tat. hahhaha.. but reali cute lor. we tinkin if shd put him in cc when i am on maternity. scared he wil tink tat tat we like abandon him when no. 2 is out.
enjoy ur lomantic trip w hb! heheh...

 

[tge25]

hand creams... do u all use handcreams?? i just collected my items from the lady and seems not bad..crabtree and evelyn..price very cheap!!!

http://www.cnecne.blogspot.com/
hahaaaaa...happy sia....going to buy more..as xmas presents

 

[cherimoya]

val, ya.. matthias doesn't like to open his mouth so i saw that his 3rd upper tooth is out and his 4th lower tooth is out only when he was laughing.. hahaha.. he also refused to let my mum clean his mouth while bathing. ya.. it's good to let them take mushrooms! my hubby doesn't take vegetables(other than those burgers veg inside and ikea broccolli) and no mushrooms (other than outback's steakhouse fried mushrooms).. haiz.. so i really hope matthias won't be like him.

ting, i'm enrolling matthias in aces montessori in lor sarina. ya.. i went to the childcare and saw the playgroup kids sleeping on their own. it's quite tough to imagine how matthias will be able to do that and even feeding himself independently, think will be a mess. haha..
http://aceskidz.com/

choc, i got use Clarins hand/nail cream. good. but i didn't buy la cos i used their products so everytime i buy something they give samples. hehe.. i think crabtree and evelyn is not a bad brand.

 

[felval]

choc,
bo le. i nv use hand cream but i think i sld with all the hand washing of clothes and dishes and doing hsework. my hands are no longer princess hands liao. sobsob! so rough nw =(

talk abt christmas...nw sept liao..another 3more mths to christmas...v fast ho...think i sld save more $$$ to chiong for yr end sales =P

 

[felval]

cheri,
is it coz ur hubby find mushroom got a earthly taste? my hubby is ok with mushrooms but he dun understand why i like mushroom so much =P but mushroom is gd anyway =) think u intro to matthias early sld be ok rite?

my hubby abit pickly abt vege...certain vege he will nt take coz MIL didnt intro alot of vege to him...mostly cabbage, xiao bai cai, cai xin n broccoli he is ok nia. so i think, we have to intro all sorts of greens n healthy gd food to them so they will nt be so picky in future ba.

 

[eric_baby]

val ,

Can eat mushroom liao ? I dun dare let Jorel try leh ....hubby love all kind of mushrooms .

But when preggie whenever i smell mushroom i will sure puke so dunno izzit Jorel dun like mushrooms hahah ...!!

 

[felval]

Jo,
can eat mushroom le. that time i brought Damien for MMR i asked if can eat mushroom. As per usual they ask me to give in small amt first to see if he will be allergy to mushroom nt...so far, more than 1 week le so sld be ok ba.

And Damien nv reject so i think sld be ok.

 

[lindachang]

Choc,
true....now need only to cook rice & soup for dinner, no need to cook separately for my boi le...

dun worry, when your boi ready he will "tell" u wan....just bought the cod liver oil orange flavour one, going to let my boi try it tomorrow morning...hope he'll likes it (wish me luck....)..lol....

 

[ant1712]

choc- i bo use hand cream one. me v lazy to put si mi cream b4 slp, jus wan to quickly slp once in bed. hahah...

cheri- ya i cannot imagine too. hope aldan can cope well. he cant feed himself nw yet. as for slpin also need to pat him n gv pacifier. n i worry abt him drinkin milk too cos he needs to be coaxed to finish one botl n i doubt the teachers gt time to do tat. if nt he can jus drink half a botl n dun wan liao.

val- mushrooms so nice? i dun like leh. hahah.. my hb at times try to be funny n say wan to treat me dinner at mushroom pot. i cannot imagine eatin everythg w mushrooms. the only mushrooms i eat is BK mushrooms swiss =D
wat kind of mushroom u gv damien? i tryin to expose aldan to more food so he wun end up like me =P he's gettin picky abt food le..

 

[ant1712]

--

 

[lindachang]

Val,
me also put some mushroom in my boi's soup..he seem to like them. personally, i love mushroom too.. =)

 

[lindachang]

ting,
u sending your boi to childcare? my boi's centre the teachers expects the babies (>7/8 months old) to hold their own bottles..indep training. maybe u can consider asking the teachers to give your boi half bottle of milk milk every 2/3 hours instead of 240ml per go.

 

[felval]

ting,
hahaha. i like mushrooms so i will tell u nice la. hehehe. i like to go mushroom pots lo. yummy. now u mention it i feel like going. hehehe.
i give Damien 2 types of japanese mushrooms, forgot the name tho. next time i go supermkt check out the names then let u know =)


linda,
mushrooms in soup dont u feel the soup smell nicer? hehehe. got the mushroom smell... =)

 

[lindachang]

Val,
yes yes...love the smell of mushrooms! yummy......i give my boi "jing ching gu" and emperor shitake mushrooms...another one i forgot it's name, the type we use for "ang mo" soup.

 

[ant1712]

Linda- my boy nw in infant care so wil join the playgrp once he’s 18mos nxt mth. He can hold his own botl but usu wil nt finish his milk. The nxt half he needs to be fed thn wil finish. He’s only drinkin 180ml leh. maybe wil decr his feed since they serve 4 meals a day.

 

[kaka2606]

linda,
tim is attending playgroup nia... not childcare..its called kindertots... just 2 hrs a day... i like it as they're pretty flexible so i only let him attend 3 days a wk... so far the kids there do a little studying but more playing...i just wan him to socialise lah

alice,
so far went 3 days liao but i stayed there cos everytime i disappear tim will cry so now i machiam become their part time helper...haha...play with the other kids...quite fun leh

 

[aliceteo]

linda,
rachel rejected porridge too, think they are bored of it ler. I have tried cooking kuay tiao soup for her. Sometime, i will throw some rice into the soup too. Sianz, running out of idea soon =) think they are telling us they grow up ler, no need porridge bah hehe.

jo,
that's good. Rachel so far this few days also feverish nia especially at nite. some nite reach 38 i will give panadol liao. Angela told me the fever will come and on till 4 days later lor. Funni thing is when u feel her is not very hot but measure using thermometer is 38.5!! very strange... internal heat bah haha!
No... me gg with hb nia, for our case is the other way round cos' most of the time we are with rachel overseas. More like our little romantic get away. Hope rachel will understand we need a little "we" time hehe. And she can use this time to bond with her grandparents :>

val,
wah... so caring ah! Is more like Ai Xin pill liao lor wahaha! nice hb u got there
ya hope the fever won't come back again... thks, will treasure the er ren shi jie for sure :>

ting,
maybe u start putting him in cc earlier, even b4 yr maternity. So he will get used to it and not sudden change lor. Think he should be ok der lar. Sian hor, have no. 2 must think of no. 1 feeling too. But the more the merrier mah haha.
thks, will enjoy my trip for sure.

cheri,
rachel lately have been munching on bread and snack nia. Refused her usual big bowl of porridge i also damn sian. Think her two big upper molars are coming out ler that's why. Very worry she lose weight or not enuff nutrients. Hope the teething period will be over soon.

val, cheri,
my finding all these years are ladies likes mushroom more than man. U dun believe, just observe next time u dine with friends. How many girl ordered mushroom soup and man will order something else haha!
I super like mushroom too, especially bbq shitake mushroom... YUMzzz!! btw, my hb hates mushroom :>

sugar,
haha... can consider as part time mah. One stone kill two birds. Can watch out Tim and earn some $$$ =p

 

[lindachang]

ting,
sama sama...my boi will officially join the tots' class next month, but the teachers already let him join in the tot's activities since he's 15 months old for him to get use to the new playmates.

so far so good...he seem to enjoy himself more playing and socialising with the older ge ge & jie jie..wow....our babies grown up so fast hor, last time we May thread still discussing on bf etc now our boys and girls already passed 1 year old...wow, u preg! congrats!! i thought of having no. 2, but then hor thinking of starting bf for another 15 months plus i feel a little tired leh...heeee...maybe wait for another few months then c how.

sugar,
o i c....once your boi get use to the group, u can have some precious personal time to lim ko pi..lol....i also have the same feeling as u, alot of time i also my boi's infantcare's pt helper, cos i always reached there before my hubby & while i wait i play with my boi & his friends (usally by 5pm the infantcare only left 1 or 2 teachers so short handed lor)...

alice,
ya lor...think our babies thought they grow up already..want adult food not mushy porridge....heee...but i still give him porridge once a while, maybe just 2 times per week other time i just cook rice & soup for the family...so much more convenient for me...

my boi refused bread, cakes and all bread look alike since 6 months old, me headache...can't get a small piece of bread and look alike into his little mouth..tried to tempt him with cheesecake and chocolate cake also failed! told hubby i give up...so morning got to cook either egg or potatoes for him lor...cos now rice cereal he also dun want le....

how huh??? any good suggestion???

 

[eric_baby]

Cheri ,

Thank you so much for arranging the trial class @JWT Gym . Jorel enjoyed himself and KO at 9.30pm hahah hopefully he can sleep throught the nite

 

[icebaby1_98]

I am back from HK. Novotel was a very good choice as the room was pretty reasonable. The free roll away bed was great esp for my younger son. Older son made the decision not to go in the early morning cos he had very high fever. (Eventually called home and found out he had stomach flu). So had to waste 1 ticket (thank godness it's budget airline, wasn't that painful).

Disneyland is a must for young kids below 9 yrs old. Older ones might find it far too boring. Macau was an impulse trip with my parents but both dh and I liked it there. Stanley market we manage to go on the day of departure (i.e. sat). It is a good place to shop for toddlers and kids clothes. Loads available...such as GAP, Carters, Guess, etc. I like Petite "something"...the clothes all so nice. Wish Ilyse was abit bigger (3-4 yrs old)...then can buy alot.

Anyway, will read thru the rest and update more later. Now trying to download office mail.

 

[aliceteo]

linda,
think kids nowadays are damn Hao Min... got food to eat still so picky, hiaz, next time grow up must show them how the kids in africa suffer =) I have not been giving cereal like for weeks ler... she totally rejected it too, so i give bread or Macdonald hotcake for bf -_-"

Cheri,
thanks so much for arranging the trial class!! haha, rachel fell asleep in the cab, but she got up during the class and get to play for awhile. By the time she is warm up, the class dismiss liao ^_^ think the class are quite special cos' they have the swings. Think Raphael and Jorel enjoyed the swings the most haha.

icebaby,
yr older boi very tong si lor... at least he didn't fuss if not all of u go ler also very sad hor. Hope he get well soon =)
haha... can't wait to go macau this wed too. Might also drop by HK the last day b4 heading towards airport =p

dolly,
today went NTUC and bump into choc too hehe. I actually wanted to go Giant to grab the Pampers Active but too lazy to go find one outlet so ended up in NTUC lor. And happen to see their promo there... is $44.95 for 2 packs of Pampers Active (New range) L(60pcs) so total 120 pcs. Hmm... then they also trying to sell off the old ones (2 packs in a box = 38pcs x 2 ) at $27.xx so after calculation not much diff lar, ended up buying two big packs of new Pampers Active $44.95 =)

 

[icebaby1_98]

Alice,

Thanks for the boardbooks, I like it! Ilyse was wondering which one to see first. Heehee

You lost quite abit of weight leh from like erm the last time I saw you (which was a yr+ ago...haha).

Thanks again for everything.

 

[felval]

alice,
hmm...ok. next time i will observe hw many gals order mushrooms soups n wat did the guys order =) i like bbq shitake mushroom too! hehehe. aiya, to me so long is mushroom i like liao. hahaha. my hubby is ok with mushrooms but he dun understand hw i can order an appetiter of mushroom for lunch, then have main course of mushroom pasta then dinner i can take mushroom again. hahaha.


icebaby,

[icebaby1_98]

Val,

I can't find much kids stuff anywhere else. Stanley Market, alot! GAP, Carter, Guess, etc..those branded ones. Around S$5 onwards. Got jumper cost around S$15 - 20 for boys and girls.

I tell you, I wanted to buy so much things.

Oh...I also manage to buy girls clothes at H&M (the outlet opposite GUCCI - Harbour city) on Canton Road. But had a bad experience with staffs there. But clothes were on sale, so bought quite afew of sale items which cost around HK25 (S$5 or less). =)

can say my weekend was busy and good ba coz sunday brought daryl to neighbour younger boy 1st bday. heeheee...

the only thing tat make me angry is my mil lor....on sat wen we went over, she beri funny leh...dun why she say she wan to put daryl on my bil computer chair (those chair tat hv roller wheels)to push daryl around to see his reaction lor....i told her no...coz worry daryl will fall. then she stubbornly dun listen and 'ying ying' carry daryl saying "it ok lah...as long as we adult are there to watch can le" and put him on the chair, then nt even 1 min, daryl attempt to jump and heng she caught him. then she say "wow, heng i caught him lor...he so daring de dare to jump" then i told tat y i told her dun put in the 1st place. then she continued to say, "some kids will kuai kuai sit without moving de" and i rebuked her saying tat ya, but at nite they will have nitemare coz they are scared.

wah piangz, really cant stand her and dun understand her mentality lor...she got 3 sons le...how come still like tat and behave like a young gal who hv no experience wif kids.

another ting is tat she keep wanting to carry daryl. but as we all noe at this stage the kids prefer to walk around on their own de....so she 'ying ying' tried to carry daryl but hv to let him down wen he struggle. then she say daryl notti. i was like WAT? like tat is notti? come on lor, she hv nt see his real notti yet lor.

diana,
nv bring him back to see doc and ask why so long still having it? cld it be allergy to something?

 

[september]

val,

i nv bring him to see doct...but i did call up the clinic and they say cant be due to the chicken pox jab. say he could be allergy to other tings then ask me if i gif him egg, i say yes, then they ask me check if he develop rashes after taking i say no lor...so really no idea le...unless let him go take allergy test ba.

btw, how long did the side effect subsized after taking the mmr jab? coz we be taking him to the zoo on 1st oct. so i wan to count and guage 1st then plan wen to bring him for the jab.
