pb,
you are not crazy for being possessive. but need to let go a bit to HB la. poppy is also 50% his, he wont harm her or let any harm come to her. tis just your 1st instinct rite... did u say anything to him at that moment?
smiggle,
1st bday parties are for mummies more than bbs. relax jack la. kayden wont notice if there are more or less deco and wat the bday cake tastes like, but he will pick up your relaxed vibes if you chill.
the WTS and BP section usually lists some good buy for bday decos.
sy,
jx is so smart! can understand when u say no
tax filing
jacelyn,
nothing prevents u fm claiming on your dad or even your parents in law (if no one else is claiming grandparent caregiver relief on them la). even though technically, my parents are not doing much to tk care of Cedric, i m still claiming on my mum. my ILs are not resident in SG, so bo pian, cannot claim any tax relief on them.
ok, here goes my little bit of tax knowledge
refer to iras website http://www.iras.gov.sg/irasHome/page.aspx?id=110 for more details
1) claim qualifying child relief - $4k per child. This one can be split between u and HB, and the % split is up to the taxpayer to determine.
2) working mother's child relief - 15% of earned income for 1st child; 25% for 2nd child ... etc etc. HB is not eligible for this. Only EARNED income is eligible. So i guess only applies to FTWMs... or FTWMs turned SAHMs
3) grandparent caregiver relief of $3k. claim on one parent or parent in law resident in Singapore... HB cannot claim. only married female taxpayers can claim... our govt quite bias agst single mums hor.
4) foreign maid levy relief, if got domestic helper at home.
... and 5) parenthood tax rebate. can be split between u and HB... http://www.iras.gov.sg/irasHome/page04.aspx?id=1528

qing,
be firm and be polite. tell them cannot, will harm barbie's kidneys in the long run, and that the PD says so. [never quote forum mummies, always quote doctors
]
run away w barbie in your arms if need be...
oh my uncle-like 50 yo male boss told me, for good effect, u can say 'what did u just feed MY baby' through clenched teeth and in a menacing growl. LOL.
oh i havent done it before, but it sure ranks up there as one of things that i wish i had the finesse and grace to pull off w/o offending!

Finally have a chance to read the many posts today...BB Dora is better now, no vomitting & starting to eat more. However, she tends to get feverish at night - not sure why & we're still monitoring her closely. Thanks mummies for asking about Dora
Toothless club
Dora is a member too!
Porridge
Reading all the posts about ingredients to use really inspire me to cook something different for Dora. Guess she will be tired of having fish + spinach porridge soon. Btw, how nice if supermarkets or shops sell ready to use powdered ikan bilis for use....maybe I can dream on hor
Rena
Still not sure if I can come by your place this Thurs, really depends on Dora's condition. The strawberry cheese cakes looks so yummy. Maybe it's lunch time now & I'm getting hungry.
Swimming
Would love to bring Dora for a swim once she's better. But need to buy her a float & swimsuit first. Any idea where to buy them? Below $50 for both items possible? Not very willingly to spend that much cos only use a few times.

PB,
ikan bilis actually no need to do so many things lei. I asked my mum before. i think can buy those small kinds, then just wash, sun it and toast it. then grind it. after grinding, sieve it. then can liao lor. that's what she did for Megan. and she ok lei.
think it's ok to give the purees lah. give potatoe or sweet potatoe lor.
Smiggle,
can give egg yolk but not white.
that day my mum gave her papaya milk. kaoz, after that she don't want to drink plain water. hahaha....
possessive control mama,
i think i'm one too. i also will snap at my hb if not done my way when it comes to Megan. But my hb always retrot, want me to help, then do my way. don't come tell me what to do. kaoz...he seldom touch her or help cleaning her up and i can't even give instructions lor.

Cellow,
So lazy to file tax. When's the last day?
Can get your hb to share his spreadsheet with us not? Haha.
SY,
Good girl leh. I tried a few times on Declan already. He totally ignore me, go do whatever I say no to, then smile at me. In the end, I give up, remove him from the object, and we all leave the room.
cin_bunny,
Which GAIA stuff are you using? How do you find them? I'm interested in the lotions cos I think Declan's having a bit of an ezcema problem around his ankles especially.
do1nk,
At least bbG will KO in the stroller. Declan will just fuss until we pick him up and pat him to sleep.
Agree with Cellow that bbG looks so different in this swimming pic! So handsome! And looks like he's posing for some swim photoshoot!
smiggle,
What sling did you get?
garfield,
Yup, Declan can stand holding the sides for very long too.
doggiebb,
FZT's roar sounds really cute!
Michelle,
Are you using white rice or brown rice for Ethan's porridge? Cos I still need to blend the brown rice, or else not soft one.
Jacelyn,
Must check on expiry when you stock up leh. Luckily my hubby never complain when I buy baby stuff. In fact, he always read the forum, and if I mention that I am thinking of buying something, he will turn to me and say "buy lor". But I'm the giam siap one la.
PB,
Gasp! Poppy is Hiro Nakamura! Can teleport!
Nope, hubby always ask me before he introduces anything.... but hor, most of the time is funny nonsense like Soyabean milk, chin chow etc. So of cos no la. Poppy likes celery??
batgirl,
I remember you said Wu Feng didn't like your porridge right? Declan also. We tried to give him fish porridge yesterday, and he eat until he wanna throw up.
Mummies,
Any idea why Declan reacts to the fish porridge this way? It's just rice and fish only. Do you think it's due to the strong fish smell? Think will add stuff like sweet potato or carrots today and try again!

Do1nk, hai yah no one has ever called bb xun a girl girl at first sight. Errm ok only once coz she was wearing a PINK hat. Else coz she is botak and does not have girly features (unlike pretty poppy) so usually its 'ah yo ah boi ah? How old liaoz?' lo ... let me try to put up some pics tomorrow ... her passport pic yah finally got down to doing her passport last night, using a pic with kou shui on her top.
Cellow wow u are the expert around! I was just trying to read through the stuff in the morning. Hai yah my MIL is taking care of my SIL bb so confirm they claim. Then my dad working so cannot use his name. Hmmm tonight must go home fight with my sis for me to claim coz she can claim more working mother child relief as she got 2 kids.
Possessive mums - let me think ah .. i think i not leh ... hee hee i a bit bo chup. Let me observe myself more coz maybe i am just that i dun notice it!!!
Qing, my mum also like to give bb xun lots of stuff. That time she was only 7 months my mum gave meat liaoz wor. But well she is thinking of bb xun's good also la ... so i never dispute anything. Since no allergy or what then i just diam diam lo. Hmm sometimes i think i more shui bian to my own mother. If MIL do that, think i will jump up the roof ah.
BBp, yuppie the first thing i see is the expiry date. But anyway think the milk powder will finish up super fast. Think she can finish up 1 900g can in 1.5 to 2 weeks lo. Big eater.

I kept telling him to make sure he standby should bbG show signs of toppling over!! wah.. u all think he can be swimsuit model (male version lah) like poppy... swim illustrated? hehehe
jacelyn: talk about passport..super procrastinato me still haven't gotten round to this..

bbp,
could be the fish smell too strong. try adding in some veg like brocolli or spinach. shld be ok.
my gal also cannot sit still when she it. she will move her body round and round the high chair. then her head will turn here and there. very kaypoh. turn head, left, right, back, etc. so have to keep on moving the spoon everywhere.
but usually she will sit through in her chair for the meal.

thanks qing, that link really helps!
aiyoh how come your relatives all try to feed barbie all kinds of things one!!
cellow
i think i said something like 'hey you give celery ah? what if it's one of those cannot-give things?'. but i stopped myself in time to not say 'why never check with me first!'. cos i also realised that poppy is his daughter too la. but then hor, i think mummies are more careful when it comes to food
wow thanks for the tax relief help! i am HOPELESS at filing my taxes
do1nk
she LOVES her baths! that's what's making me confused. i think it's cold water in pool la. btw yesterday hubby saw me on forum then he said 'how to pronounce do1nk... is it DO-ONE-NK?' lol
at your swim party you can take pics of all the babies in swimwear! so cool!!!
rayna
best, i like the way you say, 'no need to do so many things'.... and then list out alot of things to do! lol
bbp
i think she used celery as teether only. suck suck a bit, but i think she chomped on it too. no funny face leh.
fish porridge - maybe you steam the fish separately then add it to porridge when porridge is cooked? when i gave poppy fish on its own she also made a face. but when i cooked with porridge, she was ok. like rayna say, add in something else other than fish. mine always with carrots and spinach
star
i think my company used to give 2 days for childcare. but some companies are quite one kind. must show child's MC then can claim for childcare leave.

PB,
cos no need to take the stomach and bones out one by one mah. take out one by one, don't know will take me how many years. hehehe
My hb have a friend who gives her children carrots and celery uncooked cut into 1 cm think tubes as teethers. i tried it for Megan. but she don't like it. think it's too hard. after a while, she throws it on the floor.
Same. Megan LOVES her baths. but don't like the pool. maybe it's the cold wter. hb and i got a thought. maybe we can fill her bath tube with tap water and let her try out.maybe soon she will get use to the coldness? heeehee

Rena, ergo can take up to 25kg? Wow hmmmm hmmmm sounds good ah. But seriously if your bb is 25kg will u still put him into the ergo and carry him?! Can still walk? I am pretty sure I dun have such strength la.
Cellow, good idea leh. Let me go dig out my family tree and start asking around. The problem will be grandparents are shared by so many aunties and uncles. Think someone along the line must have used it liaoz. FIL still working so out.

Rayna,
If you use those carrots/celery stuff as teethers, be careful.. cos I read online that they can become choking hazard.
SY,
Same! Declan also try to stand up in the tub. So bathtime is like wrestling time. I gave up the tub some time ago. Now I put a rubber changing mat on the bathroom floor, and then shower him on the changing mat.
do1nk,
It's a pity I don't have a pool nearby and that it's raining so often nowadays. Cos Declan loves to swim after the initial cold water unhappiness. See how much he loves it..

Qing,
Umm, I just realised this pic was probably taken about 3 months ago... we bought those soft pool and put it in our backyard. I actually have a video uploaded onto Facebook. I think you should be able to access it since you have a Facebook account.

dordor,
wah, y ur sis like that one. i allow no one but me and HB to feed Cedric things that hv gone into the mouth. and even then, HB just bites the payaya into a shape that he can try to hold by himself. i always pull long faces whenever he does it, so both sides of the family know v well that i dun like all the feeding fm the mouth nonsense. think we are birds or wat. regurgitate and feed to our young ah.

Ergo can officially take up to 40 pounds (18kg). But according to the Ergo creators, it has been tested up to 90 pounds!

I can go over to your place to collect the books. Just let me know when you are home. Thank you for helping me to get them!
Waking babies
L has been waking even more at night, so I am quite exhausted. First, it was because he was teething. He now has four pearlies
Then he caught a bug and has been sniffling and snuffling for the past two days and nights. He'll wake and cry 'cos he can't breathe properly

From the photo at Michelle's house, your FZT really looks BIG!

Youpi, yes yes, FZT is really a FZ!! ethan looks really small... thus the roaring followed by crying.. FZT roars with his arms held high.. Ethan scared.. hee hee... anyway, the swim was nice... i am looking forward to another swim gathering!
Bathing vs swimming..
ethan kicks like nobody biz during bath time, but when in the pool.. whines and whines but after a while.. he ok liao.. maybe need time for their body to adjust to the cold water temperature.. need to keep them in water even tho it is cold initially.. body will adjust one...
PB, can add sooooo many things in the porridge... pumpkin, all sorts of vege... i also add potato and carrot and pork and it tastes like our chinese minestrone soup!
bbp, oh, brown rice still need grinding.. only white rice, just boil till soft... no need to grind oredi...
SY, JX so obedient.. listen to you wor... Ethan dun care one lah.. everything wanna do his way, take things away from him, he cry until it is back in his hands.. sigh.. is it time to discipline oredi? cos normally we just give it back to him or distract him with something else... but that really sounds like a spoilt behaviour huh?
bbp, quite obvious Declan is naked leh! i cud tell immediately wor! orrrrrr.... hee hee...
