Think Skylar and Marcus are really alike. Skylar calls everything as "Car". Faintz!!

Still no mommy yet. So sad!

Something to share...

Left Dylan with hubby from 11.30am - 5.30pm yesterday and went out with my girlfriends...at around 1+pm received a call from hubby to 'complain' how he got locked by 'my son'in the service yard for 5-10mins! Hubby's washing some stuff in the service yard while Dylan's playing with the service yard door but who knows he locked his dad in unknowingly...hubby spent 5-10mins 'pleading' with his captor to unlock the door successfully...I find it darn hilarious when hubby relate the whole scenario to me! Can't imagine what hubby will do if he gets locked till I get home as he's got no access to the outside world except for shouting or climbing thru the window...
 
Elch,

It's kinda scary. What if Dylan can lock, but dunno how to unlock?

My friend's baby, locked the car while she was at the booth. She could not do anything except panic. In the end, smash window.
 
XY,
Ya agree it's scary...I can laugh about it because Dylan managed to release his dad in 5-10mins...if not I don't think I'll be able to laugh about the whole incident...haha! After this incident, we're going to do something to the locking device so that he can't lock us in anymore...lesson learnt...never underestimate what our kids can do!
 
<font color="0077aa">Gio: sorry for the tardy reply. I have been having a migraine since the weekend and it was so bad I wanted to throw up. Took off early and went for a massage as the tension came mainly from my neck and shoulders. The masseuse actually said my back was like a keropok. Sigh...

To add on to what elch said, it's like a supplement and basically is derived from berries which ate supposedly high in anti oxidants. Am using it for the first time this week. Took Cate off it already as her cold seems better

just ordered via XY from the iHerb spree she is trying to help us do. U may wanna check it out

Regarding Skylar, hang in there ok? It will get better. C still cries every morning but the teachers told me once I take off, she stops quite quickly and she participates in class now. Do soon, Skylar will get there. It is hard I know. At least yr CC is near to your office, I dun even get a chance to peek. Sigh...

Oh and yes, do label all your items! C's water bottle went missing and cos I only have one, I was in a mad rush this evening looking for a replacement. </font>

Hubby came home and found out that the connection of the wireless keyboard came loose. Now ok liao. Thanks.

Gio
Dimple is right. My kids start with "ma ma" first and now they call me "mummy" liao.

elch
Dylan is smart! He knows how to lock &amp; unlock the door. Nowadays really cannot underestimate our kid(s) liao.</font>
 
morn mommies

gio
u can order the labels from busy bee if she is taking in any. i even bought iron-ons for rebby's uniform bcos i hear that in cc, they lose things easily!

rebby has to wear uniform but i wastold that for the first 2 weeks no need to do that. also, uniform OOS... keke
 
<font color="0077aa">morning all...my back is quite sore from the massage yesterday. The migraine comes on and off and it pounded even when I was sleeping. Woke up a few times to adjust the pillows and massage my scalp and luckily, I went back to sleep.

hello mummies.. yesterday i went for a make up class at JG - attended the chinese only lesson. Hmm.. not that great. maybe it is the teachers, she is not as bubbly as the English one E has...

hi buffy - my back is killing me too.. it has been a week. I told my ex-boss i need a new back.
 
buffy

oh dear. keropok as in the one that hasn't been fried yet? funny masseuse.

i also need to go tui na at least once every 2-3 weeks. i feel like i have a new neck and shoulders after every session. then all too soon, i feel like i need another massage haiz.

XY

have fun! hope marcus is a beach boy! kate is so not a beach girl. at least not yet.
happy.gif


elch

wow dylan is tall enough to reach the knob? kate isn't.
happy.gif
but she's been reaching for the car door handle once we unstrap her from the car seat.

jelly

my worry is that next time when kate goes to preschool even with labels the whole object can go missing. but i suppose having labels will reduce the chances.

<font color="aa00aa">Good morning

Encountered something funny this morning. After sending wenxuan to school I brought wenmin to a 7-11 store to buy some tibits for the kids. Wenmin was in the carrier and she was happily kicking her legs when the malay cashier told me wenmin is going to have a sibling soon (based on the way she kicked her legs). I was shock and thought I heard wrongly and told her to repeat what she said earlier and she said the same thing. Altho we dont mind to have a 3rd one but we are not ready yet esp the gal is going to start school soon and the boy needs lots of attention from me now. </font>
 
iHerb
Batch 1 rec! Yippee. Hope batch 2 will come in today or tmr, before i leave for phuket on thur.

Will pack, calculate price. My credit card is not being charged yet. What are the chances of them not charging my card? Keke...
 
<font color="0077aa">Ok, for Yoga, the session is at 11am.

So far, we have 4 yes to the Mums &amp; Tots class. Am hoping to get 1 - 3 more. Any other takers?

The venue:
Sangha
56A Kandahar street
Singapore 198900

Mats will be provided.

The instructor:

Nadia
Nadia has been teaching yoga since 2004. Ever since her frst teacher training with Baron Baptiste, she has enjoyed the practice as a student and a teacher. Over the years yoga has been the greatest tool that has empowered her. For Nadia, her practice is meditation in movement, a sacred part of life which teaches her the value of the physical body that houses her essence. Each one of her practices is valuable in creating awareness and gratitude. Through her asana practice she feels physically strong and whole, an experience for her that is unlike any other, derived from other forms of physical exercise, that she was
involved with in the past. The holistic practice of yoga with its many elements, helps her emotionally to make better decisions, especially now as a mother.

‘Teaching yoga is my passion. The gifts that I receive through my practice I enjoy sharing with my students. I enjoy seeing people transform their lives through this unique practice.‘

Nadia has studied with Baron Baptiste and completed the highest level of teacher training in Power Vinyasa Yoga. She’s also certifed in POET (Pain and Orthopedic evaluation) and Tibetan Yoga. Over the years she has studied with many other teachers who have guided her in understanding and appreciating the vast knowledge of Yoga. She continues to take trainings and immersions with many senior teachers.

She has also taught pre natal and post natal yoga, and for that, her intention has been to empower women during pregnancy and beyond. Her classes are mostly fow based and customized to the needs of the group she teaches.
Nadia is also a certifed Holistic Health Counselor.

Nadia is very thankful to all her teachers and students who continue to inspire her on this journey.

Hence, Nadia would be good for our group as we have people like me with scoliosis (she is trained in Pain and Orthopedic evaluation) and she teaches both pre and post natal classes.

Cost: $140 to be divided amongst the # of mummies who are keen (hence I am hoping we get 5 - 7 pax). The room she has allocated for us can take up to a total of 13 pax.

The room has AC but during the practice, they will be using fans instead.</font>


<font color="ff0000">Lastly, this comes to our playgroup. Nadia has kindly offered me the use of her studio for our informal playgroup as well as for my signing sharing. For mummies who are NOT keen on Yoga, you guys OK to meet for a short session - one hour before? 'Cos we need to use the studio at 11am.</font>
 
<font color="0077aa">XY: wow, thats really fast!

Dimpletot: U girls wanna join us for playdate? And yes, the fried keropok 'cos my back kept popping when she presses... It was not the best massage lah, not my usual place but I was desperate... I really wanted to go to those place where they literally crack me up? Where do u go for your tui na? I am like u, i have loads of tension on my shoulders and neck... And C is probably around 12kg now so it adds to the strain...

Vanilla: wow, i need a new everything man... Back lah, spine lah, and since I am at it, nose lah ... ... (the list goes no....)

My gal cannot fit into the uniforms altho we already bought her the smallest size. Wenxuan is wearing the smallest sizes now and on the other day I tried to let wenmin wear wenxuan's uniforms, she looked so funny in it as the inform is too baggy for her. Can tell that she is also very uncomfy cos she kept pulling the uniforms.</font>
 
<font color="aa00aa">XY
No lah. Not until my kids are fully settled down in school. My kids esp wenxuan needs lots of attention and I dont want to neglect him. </font>
 
Buffy

mousebb,
Dylan's cheeky trying to hold his dad hostage! Haha!

dimpletot,
Dylan's not that tall to reach the door knob, it's the service yard bifold door which has the 'flip' latch that's located at the lower half of the door that he's able to reach...

XY,
Hope you'll have good news shortly after your Phuket trip! Make the 1st Rabbit baby in this thread!
 
<font color="aa00aa">XY

<font color="0077aa">mummies who have travelled with your bubs. can i check with you on 2 things?

1) is a seat allocated to our babies?
2) anyone travelled on budget airlines with bubs before? I am trying to decide to go via SQ or save the moolah and just take Jetstar or something.

'Cos my main worry is that C fusses a lot so maybe SQ / CX is a better option? Its to HK...</font>
 
hi buffy -

if below 2, Cate does not have a seat but be on a bassinet (but u must check there is available)..if not she will sit on ur lap.

u may want to check the diff in fares... if not much diff then take CX or SQ..cos plane is bigger..can walk around.

I download signing times on iphone and kept E entertained. then he walked alot round the plane... think u might want to load on toys, crayons etc so she have something to do...
 
Buffy,
Below 2, no seat allocated. At most u get the bassinet.

I flew Jetstar to HK, marcus was fine, snoozing on me through the flight.

Bluey,
Aiyoh... hang in there!

Elch,
NOOOOOOOO i dun want rabbit!!!
 
for under 2s, you pay about 10% of the adult fare on SQ and get a bassinet seat. however, on my recent flight, they had some strange rules that the kid is too tall for the bassinet so has to be on lap instead! even during cruising. we negotiated to let her use bassinet.

after 2 yrs, you have to pay more, and then kid gets a seat. i think.

have not travelled on budget airlines, but think might be more worth it to pay for a seat for a kid this age (than travel by SQ), esp if the flight is not too long. HK is 4 hrs rite? i think you and cate will have no problem.

does she like food? can bring lots of different food to entertain her. books, drawing, some toys, before you know it you're there.
 
buffy,
i travelled via jetstar before for my trip home. no seat for rianne. she just sat on my lap the whole time. i travelled via CX when i went to HK last time. love their bassinet sit. but rianne didn't use also. she still stayed on my lap.
 
vanilla,
How to download Signing Times into iPhone? Teach me! Thanks!

Buffy,
Flight to HK to and from via SQ is around $600 per pax and via Tiger/Jetstar is around $350...
 
<font color="0077aa">thanks all, for the advice...

Dimpletot: ya, may be more worth it to buy her a seat on Jetstar. Will call and ask...

Elch: will msn u

Bluey: you take care ah</font>
