JJmom,
By 16, Marcus will probably tell me : Mum, just give me the money. I'll have the party myself. PLEASE DUN COME!
R&Rmum,
Kids... when they dun talk, we worry. Now... they answer back, we shock.
Buffy should share Cate's story on "kid's answer back"

Hello everyone!
Wow, seems like the little girls are more sensitive than the boys! It's so cute that Cate, Regina and Kate are so sympathetic!
Oh BTW, the Huggies Steamy buns are great! I have already bought two packs after getting my sample pack. can't believe I am already buying the XXL size...If J gets any bigger he'll have to wear old man diapers already! LOL

Nowadays the kids are getting smarter. We cannot underestimate them. On the other day my hubby told me how he accidentally spoiled one of the wenxuan's toys and the boy must have overheard our conversation (in Mandarin). The next day when I happened to ask my son(in English) "oh no! how come your ultraman has no leg"? He answered me "My ultraman is spolied bcos daddy stepped on it and broke its leg". </font>

Hi Vanilla,
He wears Huggies XXL pull-ups after his baths, coz I can't get him to stay lying down (he is too happy naked!), and Drypers, the normal kind for other nappy changes. But the Huggies steamy buns definitely covers more bum area than the pull-ups, and can last the whole night.

<font color="119911">R&Rmom,
some months ago, Nat's nanny was shocked when she thought Nat gave her the 'stare' at the corner of her eyes when nanny complained abt her to me.
So nanny double confirmed with me & i told her 'yes coz she started giving those stares at me too' (-___-)''
Then recently i was dumbfounded when Nat sigh 'hai' with the shrugging shoulder action when i denied her requests sometimes *faintz*
But the most buay tahan is Nat's 琼瑶 drama actress style kinda cry! She will throw herself on the wall/sofa then 'pretend' to cry! & this 1, she has been doing since young *piangz*
Jialat hor...ok, i admit the 1st 2, she learned from me lah =P but we dunno where she learn tat cry from? </font>

Mousebb: Ya, C is v challenging. Knows that I was complaining about her being rude and can add in a "please" in her "request" again.
Your WX v funny. Ha ha ha... His "Pi Dan Chou Ren" lost a leg and he knows how to blame daddy. Heng, din lose the "egg yolk".
Must be the goo nee hoon they take these days. In our days, we gong gong one. We dare not really talk back (though I did lah)... my Dad says its karma 'cos I was a chilli padi. *roll eyes*
Bigflamingo: I shouted at C for the v first time in almost 2 years just on Sun. Sigh... I need one of those banners where I can put up at my home which reads "thou shalt not lose temper and shout". -__-</font>

Buffy,
Wow, you are already very restrained if you only shouted at C for the first time last week!
My husband could hear me from the lift, and we lives near the end of the corridor. I kept saying no, don't touch, no, NO, NOOOO! to Julian and he kept looking at me while pushing the table lamp to the floor. (Slap forehead)

<font color="aa00aa">need advice.
was looking at Huggies website.
regarding Huggies Points Promotion.
when they quoted there "50 Huggies Proof of Purchase Points"
wat does that mean har?
i have alot of those points which stated "huggies points"
does that mean i need to submit at least 5 pieces of it to Huggies to add up (12 points X 5 = 60 points)</font>

<font color="0077aa">BigFlamingo: I try harder because I have a really really short fuse. So whenever I am about to lose it, I take time out. Ha ha... Its the reverse for my case, I am the one taking time out instead of C. Hahahahahahahahaaa... I still feel guilty about it. *bleah*
Dimple: I think C and I "got fight". LOL... She can continue and talk and give me a live commentary on everything. On eating "Cate has enough already OK? Cate does not want anymore. Enough. Cate wants Ribena / Grape Juice / Milo / share mummy's food / drink... blah blah blah" So ya, its genetic. -__-
JJMom: hmmm... maybe 'cos we started quite young with her since we sign? So started "teaching" her the signs and requesting her to do / say them since she was v v young. Dun underestimate Nat! I think she probably knows the meaning.

boys vs girls
spoke to E's cardiologist as he asked his development.. told him E still cant speak much maybe 20 words... he said no need worry as boys are slower in speech than girls.
Then our fren show his iphone skills to doc... doc assured us - dun worry he cant talk much but he sure has skills in other areas.. haha ...

Seow bo? She is too challenging, you din read XY's comment ah? She readily said 1 Cate > 4 boys. -_-""
On another note, am quite happy with her settling in well in the mandarin playgroup. She seems to be happy there and enjoys herself. The themes are pretty fun too - "Yi Tian San Can" I think was her fav 'cos she got to eat "Pizza Bing" and also made "Char Sau Pau" for her craft work. LOL... 'Cos I dun really take pork, so I dun take Char Sau Pau. So I was really puzzled that she was talking about it until I saw that the teachers used paper towels as the "skin" and put crushed paper inside. They even completed the pau with a red dot. Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahaahah. That was pretty funny</font>

so fun to read about all the things that all your toddlers do!!! hehehe!!!
Buffy, Cate is so super cute lah!! yes i totally agree that its our goo nee hoong, and also more importantly the extensive range of supplements we take during pregnancy nowadays! last tme during our mom's time they dun take such things thats why we so gong gong lah.
bigflamingo, i was laffing when I read your description of you shouting all the way down the corridor hehehe. but that said, I rem during a parenting course the instructor mention to try not to use negative commands to the toddler e.g. Don't Run...Don't Touch. reason being twofold. 1. being in defiant stage they will deliberately just do the opp and see your reaction 2. they may not understand completely the meaning of "don't" or maybe choose not to so when you say that they only hear the words behind e.g. "Run!" or "Touch!" thats why they drive us up the wall. in such scenario, I will say instead "Hands Away" or "Leave it alone" with a warning tone in my voice. that usually do the trick. you can try. On one occasion my son and his friend kept playing with the utensils on the dining table and making a din. In this case instead of saying "stop playing", my friend (the other mom) told them "Hands on your lap". It worked immediately. try it! jia you!
