hi ruffles - oh no...wat happ?

 

[volf20]

Vanilla - She threw her breakfast all over me this morn because she rather drink the carrot juice, then eat her chee cheong fun. This is not the first time, and I lost it. I think I have been very patient with her, and tried reasoning many many many times ..but she like me, is very stubborn. She will keep pushing her limits w me .. until .. I snap. It's really a long long story.

 

[xxinyingxx]

Haha... Ruffles.
Think she's just trying to catch ur attention.


Dora Party...
good way for Marcus to get to meet some girls.
(note to self : Pls dun go!!!!)

 

[volf20]

XY - I think so too. Sobs. I do hope going to school soon will help tame my lil wild girl.

Dora Party - yea ... bring Marcus there!!!!

 

[vanilla_pod_2]

hi ruffles - hmm..ya.. either that of she is full and does not want to eat...she is starting school next yr?

 

[saxophony]

Going broke from all these plays that are popping up.

 

[jellypurin]

ruffles
i dunno if school will do our notti kids any good in terms of their behaviour but my "diao man gong zhu" is still throwing tantrums!

 

[xxinyingxx]

Jelly,
Is Rebby behaving badly in school also? Or just at home?

Plays
Ya lor... i'm tempted to go Pinochio and ugly duckling. But i dun think marcus will full understand these yet.

 

[jellypurin]

xy
at home. in school, she is okie. in fact, the teachers had been giving me positive feedback about her, so, i think she is mis-behaving at home ONLY

Thanks. The kids have recovered and gone to school this morning liao. As for me, I'm still aching everywhere until I have to take panadol to stop the pain. </font>

 

[elchwong]

Ruffles,
Dylan's been pulling the 'milk trick' for a few months now...do let me know when you manage to find a solution to it.

 

[vanilla_pod_2]

ruffles and elch - my mum says E's milk trick is a form of distraction...when he does not want to sleep, he will demand milk...so we will not"force" him to sleep.

we use distraction on him, he uses it back on us...brillant.. next mummies will stand in naughty corner and have time out!

 

[volf20]

Vanilla - Nope don't think she is full because she had not eaten anything in the morn yet.

And yes she is starting in Jan. Going for an extra 1 week orientation in Dec too.

Jelly - Sigh. We have terror-girls.

Play - Yea lotsa money, but I think it $ well-spent; better than spending on 20 Barney ride-ons

Here's another FOC show going on in Nov-Dec:

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">I think my gal is short in her height. Actually we din notice and bother by it until recently many pple commented that my gal looks short and small for her age. Took her measurement and she is slightly more than 75cm tall nia. I remember someone mentioned before if we take the height of our kid on his/her 2nd birthday and multiply by 2, that is going to be his/her height when grow up. If this saying is true, I think my gal is really short liao!</font>

 

[xxinyingxx]

Mousebb,
If that saying is true... die...
Marcus will be less than 170!

 

[jellypurin]

re: distraction method used by our kids on us

yes, rebekah does the same too but not with milk. at times, she will sayang sydney until it turns to bully. then she will say something like "eyes...eyes" to distract us after she bullied her brother!

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">XY
Then my son will be 1.6m nia!!!</font>

 

[volf20]

vanilla - yea your mom is right about the distraction tactic our kids are using on us. Sobs.

Height - yea the x2 of 2yo height is what most health / docs suggest. I think there is truth in that because I was a tall baby / todd.

[vanilla_pod_2]

2.5 inches = 6.4cm

Haha! And I thought that was too fast... lol!

 

[annetan84]

hehe.. you're not short.

mint,
haha.. i was hoping that it's for a few days only.

 

[vanilla_pod_2]

haha... so jelly u can buy more clothes now...same reason i gave for mint..

saxo - haha ... how tall will jo be?

hi ruffles- maybe that is why vic does not want her brekkie? diet lah!

 

[saxophony]

Vanilla
Either way of calculation she will only be 1.54 - 1.56m. Sooooooo short.

 

[elchwong]

vanilla,
Dylan will normally request for 2nd/3rd helpings and when it's done, he'll say he wants to sleep! The tone he uses is as if I'm the one who disturbs him in the 1st place!

 

[vanilla_pod_2]

hi saxo - ok lah that is not too bad.. petite girls are more popular lah..too tall too imposing to boys...like no need them to protect ...

hi elch - haha...

 

[elchwong]

Saxo,
Agree with vanilla. I'm an overly tall girl. Ask me. I know! There are many times during teenage years where I hope I'm a petite girl. Haha!

 

[bigflamingo]

Cool..hope the height thing is true...
Julian is now over 0.9m, so he would be over 1.8m! Can score more chicks when he grows up!

 

[bigflamingo]

Ha...I agree with Vanilla too. I hated being tall as a teenager.

 

[volf20]

Bigflamingo - woots for Julian! Gals will be flocking to him man!

I also hated being tall when young; I was exactly 1 head taller than all kids at kindy that it sucked. Take pics n you get my head sticking out. Then when you grow up, so hard to find tall bf.

 

[jellypurin]

Haha... Tall or short, we are not satisfied!

 

[elchwong]

Ruffles,
It's hard for me to find a tall bf hence I'm with my hubby who is shorter than me by 4cm or so! Haha!

 

[xxinyingxx]

Jelly,
People always want the other side of the fence.
Grass is always greener mentality.

I love my height. I wish Marcus will be taller. Short guys dun have it easy. Haiz...

 

[xxinyingxx]

Cheerbear,
Rec. Thanks!
