Went for Regina's skin prick test today. She's still allergic to dairy. Sigh! But no allergies to seafood which is good news...

I have yet to see your Longchamp! Geez. How long are you going to hide it?!

Mint
Hmm, so through the prick test, can know whether one is allergic and what the allergens are?

 

[annetan84]

mint,
thanks!

glad that she's not allergic to seafood. did dic say if it will ever go away?

haha!!! agree with sax!!! where's your longchamp???

 

[mint]

Ok, after X'mas you will see it! Haha! I was still thinking after Regina goes to school and we come out to meet for tea or something then I bring the bag along. Haha!

saxo,
They test for the different allergens. So this round, she tested for dairy, crab and shrimp.

Joanne,
I can only go back for the test 1 year later to see if the measurement of the hive from the test is smaller or same. If it's smaller, then it means that it's better. I didn't do the test last time so no basis for comparison. But it was pretty big compared to the control test.

 

[annetan84]

mint,
i see. hopefully regina will outgrow it next year.

 

[mint]

Joanne,
Crossing my fingers too.

eelyn,
ohh...the t-001 playmat is really cute & more functional, i love it too

But dunno y Nat never really stay on these kind of 'patch-up' playmat. She either end up 'stone-ing' there or trying to peel the pieces off

mummies,
I had a BN Colette Size 24 White/Silver shoes to let go... bought and forgot about it and now LY cannot wear...

PM me if interested...

 

[mint]

Mummies,
are you using separate shampoo and shower gels for your tods or the 2 in 1 kind? I'm currently using California baby shampoo and shower gel for Regina but hubs feels it's not working so well on her body. Thinking of getting a separate shower gel for her. Any brands to recommend?

 

[rains]

mint,
I am using Gaia. The shower and shampoo come in separate bottles. Sold in guardian pharmacy. I started using the moisturiser on my first kid as she had eczema. By and by her eczema was gone. I thought the product must be good so I bought the shampoo and shower for my baby.

 

[xxinyingxx]

Eelyn,
i have the fingerpaint wash, 18ct paint pots and 10x2oz paints.

thanks mummies for the suggestions. Just went out to buy sebamed. But they only have baby bubble bath? Can use for shower? Cos Regina doesn't sit in bathtub anymore.

 

[vanilla_pod_2]

mint -they have the shower - it is called gentle cleansing oil shower gel or something -- not the bb section... if u go NTUC unity .. it is the usual sebamed corner.

Hi Sorry to disturb your thread.
Would like to check if there are any mummies staying at Tampines st 44 or nearby? I'm a march 2009 sahm mummy and I'm looking for playdates for my boy. Pls email me at [email protected]

Thks

 

[xxinyingxx]

Busybee,
Let us know how much we owe u for the labels.

 

[whitepaper]

Hello mommies!!!

Will anyone of you have recommendations for part-time helper in the east? My helper's contract ends mid Feb and I'm looking for part-time help to clean the house, iron clothes etc. while I'm at work.

I stay at Changi. Please let me know if you have any? Will be grateful for your help!

 

[mint]

everafter,
Window markers are for drawing on glass. Not washable if drawn on walls. The other type is just normal washable broad line markers.

vanilla,
thanks.

Busybee,
i think regina might have the same condition as mikayla based on your previous description. It looks like some kind of a rash but i don't see her scratching and it's not red or anything. It's not ezcema so am just wondering what's wrong. Hubs suspects that the temporary helper didn't wash regina's clothes properly but the rash doesn't appear on her body. Only arms, legs and face.

 

[xxinyingxx]

Vanilla,
Want to meet where tmr? Plaza Sing ok? 12.30pm.

 

[vanilla_pod_2]

hi XY - ok see u at PS. where to meet? contact via sms?

 

[thebusybee]

XY, sure I will sms u!

<font color="aa00aa">Mummies, any ideas where I can buy white school shoes for my kids?
My gal's foot is around 15cm and son is around 16cm. Tried Bata but the smallest they have is 17cm. Thanks! </font>

 

[xxinyingxx]

mousebb,
I saw at world of sports, kids style, selling plain white nike, adidas shoes. But sizes are limited.

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">XY
Like what you mentioned, most of the world of sports and kids style outlets which i went to, the sizes are mostly for infants de. This morning I went to kiddy palace also and the smallest size which they have is 18cm. I guess I have to buy thicker socks for my kids so that their shoes wont be so loose. So worry the moment they start to run around, they would trip and fall down. Din know it is so difficult to buy school shoes for small kids.</font>

 

[xxinyingxx]

why must wear school shoes??
Marcus wearing Crocs to CC. haha....

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">XY
Next month onwards, my kids are not going to cc anymore. Have transferred them to a kindergarten and the school wants the kids to be in proper school shoes. Currently my kids also wear crocs to cc. Every morning I will have headache with my xiaojie cos she always take a long time to decide which pair of shoes she wants to wear even though she only has a few pairs nia. </font>

 

[matsu]

mousebb,
same like u, i have been hunting high &amp; low for white school shoe for Nat's kindy.

gave up looking ard &amp; end up ordering a white shoe from pediped spree &amp; preorder another at BP
