hi everyone,
back after MIA for so long. have been on leave and happily enjoying time with J. now back to work feeling so xian and busy.
anw, got a few qns, wondering if anyone can help.
1) barber
any gd recommendation for kid's barber? J's hair growing quite fast and it's very difficult to cut his hair these days.
2) play group
any recommendations for chinese play group? i haven't done much research on this except recce the kindi that i plan to send J to in 2011. they don't have child care or play group, so cldn't enquire much.
3) child safety gate
i'm thinking of buying one coz' J is always venturing into the kitchen. which brand/ model is gd?
4) shoes
how fast do u ppl change your kid's shoes? i find it very hard to buy nice shoes for J, except the recent combi one i got. the rest are so hard to put on and i can't find nice ones that are light and easy to wear. any recommendations? also, is it gd to buy one size in advance? what size are your kids wearing? i think J is a size 6.

celyn,
your sleep arrangement sounds cool. i think if i have #2, he/she will have to sleep with us coz' we got no spare room. our 3rd room is a study which we're not willing to give up, haha. wish i had more rooms in my house!
btw, are u going to have 2 bb monitors or just leave it with #2?

krex78,
#2's room is actually a room that we have set up meant for fil but he never came to stay with us, so i'm giving that room to #2 temporary.
i won't have 2 monitor, pass yu ze's one over cos hubby say yu ze is loud enough liao. no need monitor. hahahha...
your questions:
barber:
we bring him to hubby's barber since 1st month. so that had become his regular barber too cos we cut his hair almost every month.
child safety gate:
i don't use cos kitchen got sliding door. even with sliding door, its also useless liao. cos yu ze knows how to slide open my heavy full glass sliding door. sigh....
shoes:
i just buy any sandals for him, so far i always buy from royal sporting house. he also got a pair of nike shoes which i buy the 2nd smallest size.
they do outgrow very fast. yu ze already had 5 pairs of shoes and only wearing 2 now cos the rest can't wear liao. very soon, i think i need to buy another pair of sandals for him liao.

mousse,
yes yes. sleep with me in hospital. once discharge, sleep with confinement lady then back to their own room.
yu ze did sleep with me for 1 month after confinement lady left but i can't tahan after that and throw him out of my room liao. hahaha...
so for #2, either she gets the same arrangement for 1 month or i just let her sleep on her own after confinement lady left.

celyn,
so when yu ze wakes up at night, he can go back to sleep on his own?
my kitchen door is quite flimsy coz' made of plastic, so better to get the child safety gate. i saw one at robinsons today...$168 (can faint!)
how much does your barber charge? so he sits on normal chair? i realise those salons with kiddy chair charge a lot for children haircut and i dun even know if J will be distracted enough to let them cut. so far, only cut his hair once a quarter, haha. when his fringe gets too long and the hair goes below the ears. luckily his hair dun grow so fast!
J has outgrown 1 shoe and 1 sandal, worn only for abt a mth. so sayang. now he wears the combi one as a shoe cum sandal coz' it's so easy to take on and off, and dun have to wear socks. heehee, so lazy.

krex78,
he seldom wakes up in the night. if he does eh eh a bit, we just ignore him then he will goes back to sleep pretty fast. most of the times, i guess he is dreaming. unless its super loud cry then we will go over.
his barber charge about $6 bah. he will put a piece of wood on the arms of the chair so yu ze sit there. i will sort of hold on to him to prevent him from falling cos he will move when his hair is cut. now that he is older, i think he knows liao cos he will cry but still can sit there to cut loh. he cry with pacifier in his mouth, a while only. then as he cut, i will praise him throughout the whole session and ask him to see mirror loh to distract him a bit.
safety gate, i think it will be useless for me lah. actually if i don't close my kitchen door, yu ze will play in the living room while i cook and not disturb me loh. if i close it, all the more he will want to come kpo. so hubby say we waste $$ on our over $1k glass kitchen door. hahaha....
yu ze wear the sandals to babysitter's place and sometimes nike shoes. cos he very hiao, he will choose what shoe to wear in the morning. then if wear his nike shoe, must wear socks for him or he will make noise and refuse to wear.

snow,
i'm letting J wear some hand me downs from his god sons. dun think will let #2 wear J's shoes is it's a girl lah. home clothes maybe still can, haha.
celyn,
J can't be left alone to play by himself, sigh. i wish i can just leave him in play pen while i do my own thing but he will cry and fuss if there's no one in there to play with him. i guess the maid comes in handy when we're rushing to work and he wakes up and can't be alone lor. wondering how to make him more independent...

i also have a glass coffee table. i also have a full glass wall for my study intead of normal brick wall. for fan, we off the main switch. we will scold yu ze when he play with fan, so he don't really touch the fan. even the power socke are all near the floor, i haven't put any protector over it cos i think it will attract more attention when i do that. so whenever i see that he try to touch or on the switch, i will warn him first. if he ever touch, i will beat his hand. so far, he just point at them or attempt to touch but eventually back off.
yu ze did bang into my study glass wall before but after 1 time, he learn loh. though i have stickers at the bottom of the glass.
i feel there is no child proof or safe environment for our curious baby. i prefer to let him explore and learn from his mistakes. of course, we don't leave dangerous things around for him to harm himself such as scissors or knife lah. i don't think my house is child friendly at all loh.

So when J's at your ILs, he's in the playpen if he's unsupervised? I think most grandparents are very cautious in letting the kiddos roam abt on their own. When I am home with Ashley, I pretty much let her roam too. Usually she makes noise enough for me to know what she's up to.. I will go peek when she's dead quiet. And tt's when she's up to no gd.
There's this net like contraption I've seen my friend use, prevents access to the blades.

There are quite a few safety gates around. Kiddy palace, ToysRus (United Sq), Ikea & AMK Hub's NTUC Xtra are places where I've spotted them before. Otherwise I think the 2 bb 'warehouse' at Kaki Bt wld also be options to check out..

Hi ladies,
Long time no post... Happy holiday season to all
baby proofing
I do have those plugs in sockets that are exposed at Isaac's level. But as I watch him most times during his waking hours, my believe is that if he is allowed to explore something, he won't want to keep at it. It seem like the more I react to something, the more he try to do it as if to get my reaction. So I dun react anymore and he'll move on! Haha.
I also recently added child locks to my kitchen cabinets cos he enjoyed opening and closing them too much. Once they were installed he lost interest. It took us adults a while to get used to the child locks tho. Think we have to get a fridge one soon. He's able to open the fridge at his grandparents' place. Sigh
Celyn, I also have a glass wall and heavy glass sliding doors which Isaac learnt to open and close many many months back. It is v scary to think it may break... but similarly, the more I react, the more he try... so I play it cool now. Dun react but distract instead! Sometimes just pretending that I'm doing something fun gets him away from things he shouldn't be doing. Haha. It's like a constant-see-who-outsmart-who-game!
Krex,
I find Lindam gates very sturdy and quite well made.

krex,
I got the lucky baby safety gate, not that exp .. got it from carrefour. It's vv easy to put it up. Quite good .... We always close the gate when they get near and soon enough, they learnt that the gate must be closed. Sometimes when it is not, Kai will go pull it closed .. so after some time, there's no use for the gate liaoz .. haha. Sometimes he still walk through the gate into the kitchen or tries to climb ...

krex,
more independent means we dun stop them from exploring ... just have to tell them it's dangerous. Kai climbs up my chair onto my computer bench (a long bench) and then sits on top there trying to explore what's on the table ... just have to keep taking him down and tell him it's dangerous. He still does it.

forget to mention this, last week i was out with my friend shopping with her family and mine. she was shocked to see that we let yu ze stand on the escalator, let him walk in and step out of it instead of carrying. of course, we do hold his hand when he walk towards it. she say its so dangerous. can someone tell me why is it dangerous? her son is 2 years+ and she sure carry him on escalator and not stand on escalator.
shint,
wake up so early due to teething? hahahha....
briebaby,
i got nothing protective in my house except for 2 corners of my tv consol.
yu ze won't close my kitchen sliding door but only open it when i closed it. so now, i give up and don't close it at all.
he will also open all my drawers and cupboards in my kitchen though there is no handle on them. sigh... he will take out my pots to play but leave all my corelle plates and bowls alone. phew!!! open the last 2 drawers to play except the one with all my cups cos he knows he is not supposed to play with that drawer.
then when i'm done with my cooking, he will help to bring that 'plate rest' thingy to the dining table so that i can put food on top of it. he knows how to open the cupboard to take it out.
when i'm cooking, i do let him see at times. now i let him touch the rice and sort of wash them too. when i stir fry vege, i also get him to help put the vege into my pan. he enjoyed it very much.
some mummies might think its very dangerous to do this but i think its ok cos fried vege won't splash oil.

not going to install anything to stop him.
hehe.... find a chance to take his photo/video to show you, ok.
last time, i do that when he tries to open that drawer that is full of cups too. after a while, he will give up on that drawer and open the lower one which i let him play. so now i stop doing it but teach him that he can't play with that drawer.

cos nynn also used to do all those actions, so i dun find it dangerous for zynn lor. =P
if u dun start training them from young, most likely they wun noe how to use that thing properly later.
but escalator do "sudden break" some time, so do hold on to yu ze's hand at least lor.

hi mummies
thanks all mummiesfor the concern.. after a tortorous 6 days.. bernice's diarrohea has stopped finally. That day I was posting halfway then was disrupted cos we went to the PD on 26/12 and she was given LactoGG, Lactofort and Cedax for ther diarrohea. She refuse to take Smecta. Anyway on 27/12 (SUN) her face broke out in rash on her cheeks. Looked like she went for IPL type.. we called the PD and he said as long as she not scratching.. just let her be and bring her in Mon morning.. Mon morning the rashes on the face gone, and now it's on her legs. But it looked different.. like "feng mo".. patching like huge mosquito bites. He said probably due to the antibiotics breaking out the virus. Gave her some cream and told her to feed her with zyertec... sigh.. so stresed out.
Finally the diarrohea and rashes all over on Tues and she has been eating NON stop. She ate like 4 slices of bread, 2 packets of crackers.. rice/soup for dinner/lunch. hahaha.. like hungry ghost let loose.
But over this event of her diarrohea, I really asked myself many times if we should have brought her in for the IV Drip. Her urine was really little then on Sat but the thought of the hospitals strapping her down is just too painful to see. My hb said he dont want to do it and just kept on giving her water instead. He was so desperate he even gave her milo when I told him no. and immediately after that she lau sai.. MEN !!
anyway, i'm so thankful she's recovered well. It's a very unforgetable xmas for us for sure. So full of shit !! haha oh btw. the stools results came out -ve for bacteria so it's not rotavirus, just probably food poisoning..

I carry bernice on the escalators and into lifts, I try not to let her walk in alone lest she thinks it's ok to go into them alone.
re: child proofing
I child proof the corners of furniture with those ikea "mickey" hands. cute looking. As for kitchen, bernice knows she's not allowed into the kitchen so she just stands there and see and calls out to be carried in. So far "fingers crossed" she's quite ok and knows that kitchen & toilet she's not allowed in. We put the safety gate at the stairs to prevent her from coming down. but not from going up cos going up not as dangerous and we monitor easier. so far the furthest she has attempted is 3 steps.

I carry bernice on the escalators and into lifts, I try not to let her walk in alone lest she thinks it's ok to go into them alone.
re: child proofing
I child proof the corners of furniture with those ikea "mickey" hands. cute looking. As for kitchen, bernice knows she's not allowed into the kitchen so she just stands there and see and calls out to be carried in. So far "fingers crossed" she's quite ok and knows that kitchen & toilet she's not allowed in. We put the safety gate at the stairs to prevent her from coming down. but not from going up cos going up not as dangerous and we monitor easier. so far the furthest she has attempted is 3 steps.
