Just saw on the WTS thread got someone selling their Rainbow cleaner. Heehee!

But for rainbow, the good thing is can get them to come and clean your place after you have the cleaner. That's what my friend did as part of her spring cleaning. Haha!

Mint, i saw before pushcart at suntec selling tigger, cow, ladybug animal costume.
<font color="0077aa">vanilla: thanks my dear. Will take note and stock it up.
Jelly: one of my buddies' son is with Shaw at Braddell. Popular school. My friend's son likes it there. Cos my friend is a single mum so she needs a lot of support and from what I understand, the school was quite helpful cos the teacher updates her v v often. Ya, good to check out before committing cos different people focuses on different things and what works for u may be different from yr SIL</font>

Hey Mint,
I just picked up a copy of motherhood too! Aiyah...Julian was so grumpy in one photo, and he was running too fast in the other shot for the photographer to capture his smile and still be in focus! A little disappointed coz I really wanted it to be a nice keepsake for him, but he was very overwhelmed by all the people shouting at him trying to make him smile and do things.

Mint,

<font color="0077aa">jelly: i went thru that gan cheong phase liao... and thats why i ended up deciding to send C in 2011 instead of 2010. you may want to quickly call marymount and just get it over and done with since #2 is not out and you are not tied up yet... i sussed out the places last Nov because that was my lull period at work so I could head out. And frankly, I am happy that I did it early because it is one thing out of the way for me lo...
Mint: thats crazy ex!!!! I replied you too... BTW, you got my colleague's transfer???</font>

can send me the tantrum notes too? thanks!

don't worry, i think each baby just has their own pace. Kate is not talking much too. Just random noises and the only consistent ones are mama papa mum mum and bear. sometimes ye ye and la la and that's abt it!
I guess at some point there'll be a word explosion.

i thought the last time you guys visited and said chiltern house was $40k a year? works out to around the same... $3k plus a month?
i think my absolute max is $800 a month for 3.5 hours. if pre-school cannot get subsidy. think if grandparents are happy to look after rest of the time, at their age 3.5 hours a day is enough.

jelly - Yep. Agree with Buffy. Go settle all these stuff for #1 first, before you pop. The more popular CCs and pre-schools have long wait lists. Marymount's ratio is about 30 kids in 1 class and usually you need to register 1 yr ahead.
Dimpletot - Agree on half day sessions for our todds unless no choice. The full day curriculum for most of these CCs / Playgroups entails bathing, sleeping and playing in the afternoon - all of which I feel is a waste of $$ if you pay the playschool cos you can do all these at home wor.

<font color="119911">School :
I also prefer a half day curriculum but this would means i need to place Nat at my inlaws after school as they will b the 1 picking her up. Which means i need to drive Nat over every morning then fetch her after work.
To begin, i need to start my refreshment driving course & look for a school near inlaws (-_-)''
Any gd recommendation near Eunos?</font>

The playschool which wenxuan is attending keep telling me to let wenxuan go for full day programme since he has now adapted to the school environment well. But then from what i know is most of the time in the afternoon will be sleeping and playing and I feel it will be a waste of money to put him there for full day since I'm not working. </font>

<font color="0077aa">ya karen, i like the Odyssey v much cept for the $$. Based on the reggio approach. main gripe for me besides the cost is that i am not sure if cate would settle easily into a primary school envt 'cos Odyssey is an international school. Ratio BTW is 1:4. They also have a dedicated chinese teacher in the class.
Oh, having shared that, Learning Vision, Pat's and Odyssey are all under the same umbrella</font>

Mousebb - yea lor. Since you SAHM, gd to have wx back home. PLus I find it really tiring for such a young tod to be at school the whole day.
Jelly - Yep Marymount wld be a gd choice for you!! Go check out the curriculum, and environ to see if it suits Rebby's temperament. My gf sends her son there and she think it's not bad. Her son doesnt think so - he prefers mommy's home schooling stuff and kept crying till now - since jan! They might need to change him out now.

hi mummies - ask u something.. do ur bbs suddenly drink alot more milk? My bb is not a milk drinker but these few days like growth spurt drink so much. for solids still the same amt but longer time to finish cos he "chipmuck" the food - storing in his cheeks.
he keeps waking up at night and want his milk - like his comfort food. sun night was 2.30am and 6am. This morning 2am (i fed up make 200ml and he finished all! and i increased his last feed last night by 80ml)...i has weaned him off night feeds in Jan but seems like he has other ideas now....
Just wondering if any of ur bbs have such behaviour? thks

vanilla,
yes, i believe our bbs still have growth spurt.
Juz yest morn, my Nat finished 210ml at ard 7am then i dropped her at nanny & forgot to let nanny know tat she had had her morning feed. So nanny gave her another 240ml at 8plus which she also finished, to our shock!</font>
