Congrats! I totally didn't realise either
Waiwai
My #1 and #2 sleep in the same bed as me too. Both have been woken by each other before, but as time passed, they got used to it and will now fall back asleep quite easily.
SY
I still use the hugs and kisses for #1. If that does not work I use physical humour, like carrying him up over my shoulder and running around, or carrying him and spinning around, or carrying him and turning him upside-down, or tickling him, or playing my fingers along his body, or kissing him all over... or a combination of these. Yes, a lot of carrying is involved as he likes that. He also likes it when I turn his wails into gibberish or make funny sounding words out of them. Then he'll do the same and the funny/strange word game begins. Generally the humour style works quite well on him. And erm, we've started 'shooting' at each other too. I am not a fan of this, but he's a boy and sooner or later he'll be playing cops and robbers so might as well start now lor.
When everything does not work, I resort to threats or bargains, which I'll try to couch in positive mode, eg: I'll not switch off the light if you stop wailing. But I also tell him often (and he knows it well), that "even when I am sad or angry, I still love you very much". And he will tell me when we are at a stand-off, "You still love me very much even though you are angry".
Aiyah, with #1 I tried to be the perfect mum. But it's not possible for me so I just do what I can lor. Realise it's not about being perfect it's about being there for them, and having them know that. It's important - to me - that my boys know that they have support from me and hb. That we are their absolute back-up, and always will be, no matter what. So even when he is tantrum-ing at his very worst, he knows that daddy and mummy still love him. It's easier to get the message across to them when they know that. So I preface and end all the 'discipline' conversations with I love yous, hugs, and kisses.
BUT he still misbehaves lah!

hi mummies
signing in from montreal! we had a fantastic flight to london, spent a glorious 4 hours going to tower bridge and big ben in london (i sacrificed shopping!) and met a lovely SAHM from mauritius on the london-montreal leg. poppy slept though most of both flights BUT when she was up, the whole plane knew.
weather is perfect. we are currently staying at my BIL`s place where there is a swimming pool in his backyard! but it is too cold for swimming. 21 degrees

Baby Tantrum
Wow, wise words from all the mummies here... I just realised that Ethan seldom throw tantrums. really very rarely. when he does, he normally just whines a while and I think he accepted that is not going to get him what he wants... at times when he is upset, I will distract him with the tickle, or the "slide" down my legs, he will be happy again... hee.... I will keep Youpi's method in my mind....
LNT
THey do trials, in sets of 3 lessons, 1 english, 1 jap and 1 chinese. $150.
Pats
SY, i selected Pat's as most of my niece and nephew went to pat's and they are so confident and independent.. the school does not focus tooo much on academic, but more of character and confidence building which I thought is important.. and the teacher to student ratio is good, all the teachers speaks proper english. I am also considering Chiltern House, but unfortunately they do not have stuff like D'Story club where I can start ethan there earlier... Chiltern house only takes in 3 yrs and above, i think... so leave my options open, but definitely one of these two. CHiltern house is within walking distance and it has a really really huge playground and kids get to play at the beach and field too.. i like it that it is very open. Pat's schoolhouse at katong is smaller than halifax, but it has a park by the side so I think they get outdoor play too.. I like Ethan to play outdoor cos can "break free" and really explore the nature... and also fresh air, healthier..

aww.. how cute of S to say: You still love me very much even though you are angry
actually that’s how I’d like to bring bbG up too.. and I must really strive to do more OOMMMM’s and remain calm.. coz I tend to be very panicky and easily flustered.. I must not end up being a hysterical screaming mom!
already getting antsy worrying about what bbG is being fed or if he's drinking his milk or sleeping enough while I'm at work.. think I gotto re-read the book I just finished.. the tao of poop... haha
PB: good to hear you guys had a good flight and stopover at London.. LOL on poppy making it known to flight people dat she’s awake.. did she totter around and talk to all of them? Or was she doing the soprano? U have a good time there ok?
Hope the weather holds up well for the kite events! Some people park along the perimeter of the dog run (but must beware of traffic aunties) but I'm not sure which part exactly will the kite event be at…

yes, Ethan did the LNT trials and now started his second term at LNT liao... in the first term when he was barely 8 mth old, he could only sit still for first 20 minutes, then the remaining 40minutes were a blur. so I stopped and recently let him try again. He can now sit still and interact with teacher for the full 1 hour (only english class, jap and chinese he also blur but can sit still). It also helps that he is signed up for weekday class and my MIL brings him there every fri morning, and there are only 2 kids in the class. so a lot of attention and very interactive.. hee hee.... he loves the singing and music with flash cards..
the class will start with singing and flashing cards according to the songs ( he loves!), and then play memory game (like show him a blue photo for 5 secs, then bring out red and blue and let him choose) - he always choose both haha. then they will have games to play according to the theme set for that day.. then spend 5 minutes doing flash cards for household items, maths, numbers etc.. the flashing are done with very animated theathetrical voice so again, ethan likes... the max to a class is 6, and the kids need to be seated in the chair throughout...
Attending LNT does not develop his social skills and social behaviour, so I am thinking of JG or GUG or D'Story club to focus on his survival skills.
He is signed up for Play Gym which will develop his motor skills and be less a scaredy cat (i dun want a cry baby).. Everytime he comes back from Gym class, he will have the confidence to release his hands to stand on his own.. but only immediately after class.. then after that, dun want liao... I am still puzzled how to build up his confidence to let go his hands and start walking.......

schicida is forever fully booked and it is very far. LNT is just opposite my MIL house so she can bring him there, logistic wise easier, and instead of spending so much time at home, just bring him to LNT to spend the useful 1 hour once a week loh... so din consider Shichida yet. LBT is in shichida, i think... can ask her.. cos I recall her comparing LNT and shichida before... and I think she said shichida is better...
but for convenience, i just signed him up for LNT, no loss mah.. hee hee..

oh ya, and it helps that my MIL understands english and she does what we asks her to do, so I can fang xin let my MIL bring Ethan to such classes then she can also learn how to flash cards at home.. hahaha... but for classes like gym and JG type, think will be too siong for her to carry ethan to play for 1.5hours.. she is after all, not young anymore..
so therein lies my dilemma, work and deprive ethan of JG class, or bring ethan to JG class once a week at the expense of work... still considering... seriously...

Weekday classes at $550 for 12 weeks. there is an additional $50 for annual membership. the one at parkway, now having 10% discount and 1st timer sign up full term will get additional 3 lessons free (i.e. $540 for 15 lessons).
thanks Holly, bbG, youpi.. that's why i brought my helper along that day. nowadays can't cope with boy alone esp when he's cranky and doesn't want to sit in his stroller.
Michelle,
if that's your mil at JG the other day, she doesn't look past 55! and she's a very attractive & poise lady. and no wonder your son is so sociable and smart... you sign him up for several activities. you're so lucky to have such a "sophisticated" mil whom you can trust your boy with
bbG,
me too like you... i'm 1 kan jiong spider and can sometimes get myself so hyped up i lose my patience. haiz... wish i can be more like youpi..
pinkbunny,

gtg... bring boy & nephew to gymboree this afternoon so now heading to my parents' place for lunch first. mommies & babies, have a great weekend ahead!

Ethan enjoys his gym class alot... every time we tell him we are going to gym, he will be flapping his arms and scream... when he reaches there.. aiyo... run wild.. haha... but some swings he doesn;t like he will cry, but I will make him do it over and over again until he stop crying, cos I really dun want him to be scared of the slightest thing...
oh, and now he is beginning to like to play tennis. ya, bought him tennis rackets and he will ask my hubby to play with him.. he will first throw the ball, then pick up the racket to hit in the air.. then throw the racket to chase the ball, and repeat over and over again.. hahaha

smiggle,
put down your things and carry him away? at least you are calmer and able to deal with his tantrum in a quieter place, w/o added pressure of being in a public area.
some weeks ago when at a fren's place, C wanted to pull smthing of theirs off the table to play. I told him 'no' firmly then he started to wail, so I put him lying down on the floor and walked away (was too hyped up myself to try the distraction method). With youpi's words of wisdom, now I would have told him 'mummy loves you even when i m angry w you. you lie down there until you decide to talk nicely and stop yelling'... think I did tell him the second part.... memories are hazy now.
His godpa, who was also present, looked at me walking away and said 'wow, mummy is very fierce', then picked C up (only after he flipped over and stopped yelling) to distract him with the scenery outside.
That was the only tantrum he ever threw in public.
Maybe you can distract Kayden with smthing that he really likes. C has a book of cars that he really likes to flip, so that's my emergency stop tantrum kit!

mine isn't walking also. and isn't attempting to stand up on his own too considering the fact that he flipped early and crawled early too. and has been cruising for the longest time. but i figured anyone would eventually learn how to walk, just when, so i am going to just let him take his own sweet time. when he's ready, he's will walk i guess.
tantrums
my #1 is quite mild. and has not had any public tantrums. when she can't get her way, she will just cry pitifully but she can be easily coaxed and distracted. I have realised that the boy is harder to distract but still do-able. and he obeys instructions. when he wants to climb the stairs and I say NO, he will stop there and cry pitifully. then i wave something interesting and distract him and he would forget to cry.

oh doggiebb, cry pitifully not equals to tantrums? then C has not thrown any tantrums at all! i have a low threshold for what constitutes a tantrum then.....
always listens to instructions but only obeys smtimes. he is easily distracted by his cars anyhow. throw him a car with wheels to turn and he is a happy camper.
michelle,
picked up my gym's brochure when I went to botak jones for lunch. looks interesting, but had to endure HB's hmmmmmphzzz at the $300 for 8 45-min lessons. maybe bring C for trial class first. Another thing to get off my butt and do!
waiwai,
anytime now! jiayou!
for my own peace of mind, i stopped asking gynae(or rather asked gynae to stop telling me) how much bb weighs from 32 weeks onwards. just whether he is growing ok anot.
always listens to instructions but only obeys smtimes. he is easily distracted by his cars anyhow. throw him a car with wheels to turn and he is a happy camper.
michelle,
picked up my gym's brochure when I went to botak jones for lunch. looks interesting, but had to endure HB's hmmmmmphzzz at the $300 for 8 45-min lessons. maybe bring C for trial class first. Another thing to get off my butt and do!
waiwai,

Bcos his ko ko oso starts walking late ard 15mths plus..
tantrums
my #1 he will go 'mad' n super cranky if he doesnt get sufficent sleep at noon nap bcos if i brings him out at noon w/o any nap from late noon he will start his nonsense outside by irritate mi n start to give u blur blur look walking ard in his own world ..then watever i talk to him he wouldnt listen ..Plus Now he's is passing pharse of the stage Terrible Twos..n Hope in two mths time when #1 turns 3yr old all the naughty horrible terrible 2s goes away Soon...

Kite Festival
feel like going but nowadays so rainy.. my gal needs a run too.. let me think abt it.
jace,
is good to let bbX go for some classes to know more frens and enjoy more. I still thinking what kinda class should i bring Bosco go. I quite like JG after the trial though. But find it very tiring... FOR ME. =P or maybe was just that day coz i went to tend the shop after lesson.
anymore outing coming along?
