Elch, I have not been to the Gymrboree drop in play. Minibee is a Royce Gym Member. I like Royce as it has lots of toys and ELC playsets she can play with on top of the usual gym stuff. Plus they are pretty strict with hygiene so I LIKE THAT. Hahaha.
Question on Poop... (Pardon me for this topic right after lunch)
Believe many mummies have since transitioned their kiddos to Follow on or Growing Up Formula. I read on BabyCenter Poop101http://www.babycenter.com/0_baby-poop-a-complete-guide_10319333.bc that their poop should be mushy. If solid and pellet like means constipated.... Minibee's poop has since became mushy (used to be solid pieces) since we transitioned her to stage 3 milk. Called PD and said as long as it is not watery with mucus its not LS. Mummies are your bub's poop also mushy at this stage (solid/formula fed).

jjmom,
rianne will listen for a few mins only then she will try to turn the page and look at the other pictures or move on to another book. but i know she listens cause one time i recorded my voice telling the story and when i played it she immediately knows that it's from her book cause she pointed to her books and signed book.

JJMom, over time I believe they will become more interested. Minibee has a preference for books on animals, her favourite is The Story about Peter Rabbit. She smiles at the pics. I learnt at JG to let them feel the book, just play flipping is a good start. Its all abt getting them interested. Just listening to you read the text is good too, they are at passive learning stage. Nat may seem bo chap now but really their little brains are like sponges now. They are aborbing for sure. Just body language dun show it. Dun worry. Just persevere, dun give up on reading cos she seems disinterested.

Purple, i also didn't know that. I thought was normal. Then her poop changed to become mushy and I thought she LS. So google abt it and called PD. Seems I had been wrong... Oops. Guilty of "L" plate parenting again!

But he's more interested in snatching the book from me and attempting to rip out the pages.

busy bee,
I've walked past Royce Gym before but find the charges steep as I don't forsee myself bringing Dylan there regularly thus the $50 membership won't be fully 'utilised'.
Poo:
Dylan's poo is mushy most of the time if not everytime since months back. He's on 50% FM and 50% BM besides his solid food.
JJmom,
Hahaha...you comparing yourself to some singer in the pub is funny! I tried reading THe New Paper to Dylan on Sunday since I was reading it when he come and disturb. He showed interest by looking at my mouth and then the paper several times before he finds it boring and struggle away!

hi jjmom..usually i let him roam (on my bed) while i sit at 1 spot and read-- while keeping an eye on him - like if he attempts some suicide jump from the bed...sometimes i will say "E, see here,,wow what a pretty flower", then he will crawl back look and crawl away....
hi purple - constipation can eat 3Ps and 1 A - Pear, peach, plum(prune) and Apricot. also drinking chinese barley water for my son works.
haha... i havent pass the parenting drive test yet leh...so no "L" plate for me... still cannot go on the roads (that is why i have supervised help - MIL and MUM)...

The other day, marcus did an amazing stunt. He climbed out of the stroller. I put him inside, belted him up, 5 point harness somemore and went to the kitchen to grab the termal flask before we head out. When i went back to the stroller, he was on the floor, playing with the wheels of the stroller. Think he used the baby cot, stroller was parked beside the cot and pulled himself up, out and down!

Hi ladies!
XY,
Har? But heng he din hurt himself! U better keep a close watch on him from now.
Vanilla,
I like ur description - suicide jump, it suit well to my boy's act last night! My boy is super duper koala to me, in fact i know he just want a playmate or someone to be ard with him. Too bad lo, my HB always work and back home late, so normally only me at home with him. So everytime i leave him alone in the playard, he will cry and scream until I pick him up. I normally will just let him cry while doing my things like washing bottle or prepare his fruits in the kitchen, no choice. Same for last night. I tot he was very safe in the playard, so just let him cry for a while (abt 5mins). I am wrong! When I back from kitchen, I found him "hanging" on the playard, with half the body out of it, facing down like diving! Gosh! I choing to him and pick him up immediately! *Phew* Cant imagine if I am late for another 1min. Sigh...so the cot, stroller, playard, high chair no longer safe for our bubs now!

its funny we are on this topic today about baby stunts. this morning left Jaz in the leapfrog exersaucer while we get ready in the morning. lucky i came check on her, she was halfway out, front half of body drapped over the surface and head dangling down! something like Phtanus's boy! one moment later and if she give herself a kick on the seat she will fall.
so scary....dunno where to leave them now. highchair also not safe coz she stood up on the highchair before though its strapped.
funnily, i didn't have such stunts with my boy last time!

wah Phtanus - that is so scary..how Issac climb up the play yard to hang 1/2 his body downwards and out of it? i think better put some mattress/soft thick cushiions outside the play yard so if he perform his stunt again there is safety net....
hi elch - me still setrilising and using bb wash detergent. I scared bb's tummy not strong yet..
