Buffy, just saw your email. So only Ballerina dropped for my order? I agree wt JJmom, if you need to cancel am alright, dun stress. Abt remaining stock, do let us know the sizes I can help to ask around.
JJmom, thats average toddler's feet size! You can try Nike and Adidas Shoes, price still quite reasonable. I think Mothercare shoes when on sale can be FOX pricing.

Mummies, need to ask... when are you planning to convert the cot to a toddler bed? I am thinking of doing it soon but my hubs thinks its dangerous.
Buffy, like Karen, I can take additional bigger sized pjs from your extra stock. so keep us posted.
Jelly, try to take some tonics. My aunt made me this chicken essence from a quarter of black chicken, red dates, dried longans and wolfberries. Iron supplements or Iron from the red dates can help relieve that tired feeling. Take care dear.

Hi all
Been so busy. Returned home from work last night at 1am. Very zombie now.
Buffy - I am fine if you cant bring in the PJs. Dun worry.
Busy bee - me me me. I have no choice I dun want to buy another cot or playpen for #2. Plus I want her to start sleeping in her own room (with daddy). I plan to get a nice one she can use, and in the mean time, buy the soft bed rails / dividers (what do you call them). I am beoing this one:
http://www.piccolo-house.com/product/PH-PC200-1
Will probably go to the Ubi showrm to check it out soon as I need to get one soon.
Heard IKEA has nice ones too but the bed sizes are not the std ones; so u will nd to get ikea sheets too.
Any others you saw and are keen?

Ruffles, Oh for us, her cot is convertible to a toddler bed. And uses the same mattress just change the cot rails to side safety bars. But now that she is so used to standing in her bed and holding on to the cot rails. I am afraid when we switch to the low side rails she would still stand and may end up falling.... BTW the Piccolo house bed is very princessy. Fits Princess Vic! hahaha.....

busybee - oic. Maybe dun convert to toddler bed yet if not urgent. She might fall out. Any reason why you want to convert now? Unless you want to train her to sleep in her own rm .. Even if I get the toddler bed, I will need bed rails. Yes I like the princess look of it all and most important of all, classic timeless look + std size.

How and when should I move my toddler from a crib to a bed?
Expert Answers
Deborah Lin-Dyken, pediatric sleep disorders expert
There's no set time when you have to replace your child's crib with a regular or toddler bed, although most children make the switch sometime between ages 1 1/2 and 3 1/2. It's best to wait until your child is closer to 3, since many little ones just aren't ready to make the transition. Of course, you'll need to move your toddler to a bed when he's simply too big or too active to sleep in a crib anymore. And once he's potty-trained, he'll need to be able to get out of bed to use the toilet.
Many parents make the switch because they're worried that their active toddler might climb or jump out of his crib — and this is a real safety concern. But it's best not to react to climbing out of the crib or any other sudden sleep problem with a sense of alarm. Don't rush right out and buy a new bed the day your toddler first climbs out of the crib. He may not be ready to move to a bed, and it may not be safe for him to be up and about during the night when everyone else is asleep.
Buy yourself some time by lowering the crib mattress as far as possible, so the side rails are higher and more difficult to climb over. And always remove padded bumpers as soon as your toddler starts to climb. In addition, consider installing a crib tent, which is mesh and attaches to the crib rails with Velcro, to keep your little one safe and snug in his crib.
Another reason parents make the switch to a bed is the impending arrival of another baby. If this is your situation, make the switch at least six to eight weeks before you're due. You want your toddler well settled in his new bed before he sees the baby taking over "his" crib. Depending on your toddler's age, you could also consider delaying the switch until the new baby is 3 or 4 months old. Your newborn will probably spend those months sleeping in a bassinet anyway, and your toddler will have time to adjust to the new baby, making the transition to a bed easier when it does happen.
Be sure to base the timing of the switch on your child's readiness rather than on the need to free up the crib, however. Many parents find out too late that it would have been easier to borrow or buy another crib rather than move their older child to a bed before he was ready.
Some children adjust readily to this change, while others have a hard time with it. Every child is different. It's not unusual, though, for firstborn children to resist the transition. He may be very attached to his crib and all of his associations with it. The move to sleeping in a bed is just one of many changes at this stage in a toddler's life — it may coincide with toilet-training, starting preschool and other pressures to "grow up." If a new baby's on the way, your child may feel possessive of his baby things, including his crib. Later-born children often have an easier time making the switch to a bed because they want to be just like their older brother or sister. They're eager to move from the crib, which is "for babies," into a "big-kid bed." However some toddlers, whether first- or later-born, are just plain ready and relish this change in their status.
To ease the transition, put your toddler's new bed in the same place his crib used to be. If you're using a twin bed, you may not want to make an immediate switch to grown-up sheets and blankets that are tucked in. Your child may find it soothing to continue to sleep with his old crib blanket, even if it's too small. Don't forget to put up a guardrail to prevent your newly liberated toddler from falling out of bed.
Get your toddler excited about having a "big-kid bed" by taking him with you to pick it out, if you're buying it new, or by emphasizing its previous owner if that person is someone your child knows. For example: "This was Cousin Petey's bed and now it's yours! You're almost as big as him now!" Let your toddler shop with you for new sheets featuring his favorite characters, and encourage him to show his "big-kid bed" to visiting friends and family.
Another tactic, although it requires a little more work, is to throw a "big-kid bed" party. Choose a date to unveil the new bed, and talk up the event a week in advance. On the big day, have a party and invite friends and grandparents.
Another strategy is the use of specific "toddler beds". They use a crib mattress, but look more like a regular bed. Many come with built-in guardrails, and some are made in very appealing themes and shapes, such as cars, trains and pink four-poster beds.
If you find that you've made the switch too soon and your toddler is upset, don't give up right away. Encourage your child to try out the bed. If he's still distraught after a few days, bring the crib back.
Some toddlers simply aren't ready for a bed. It takes a certain amount of cognitive development for your child to understand that a bed has imaginary boundaries that he must stay within. If you find that your great sleeper all of a sudden takes a long time to fall asleep at night, gets out of bed many times or wanders around the house, he's probably not ready for his own bed. As with potty-training, sometimes it's worth taking a step back and bringing back the diapers — or in this case, the crib — and trying again later. Just be sure you don't present the reappearance of the crib as a step backward in development or a punishment.
Finally, remember that the switch from a crib to a bed is a milestone in your life, too. It's one more sign that your baby is growing up. Reflect on when you first set up the crib for your little one, and then go have a private celebration of your own.

<font color="0077aa">thanks ladies. I sent her an email now so will wait to see if she freaks out with my special request.
Just to explain again, how this works is each design is already prepacked where it has all the different sizes.
So, e.g. if for Bee, I will 8 pieces with 1 piece of each of the various sizes. If I have 3 requests for 2T, I need to take note and I am asking the supplier if she can throw in 2 more pieces of the 2T. Hence, the challenge. haha... </font>
