Louisiana: hi!

Lian, aly_nat, minky, jo, nut: u all so cute. Ya, he became v withdrawn & refused to talk. He’s normally v sociable so this is complete change. And the day after, once he got a chance to look in a mirror, he kept going back to the mirror to look at himself & frown at his reflection. These few days a bit better but my husband still v worried. Plus he still throws up if my maid feeds him too fast. He doesn’t like to chew.

Glad_gal: how’s greg now?

Aly_nat: ok, I get ready the cash. Yah, no school on youth day. Nope. Gerard didn’t get upset at the barber, he likes going there. The uncle always gives him sweets.

Wah, outing looks nice. But I’m always stuck at home if not working or bringing my zoo exhibits out.

So far, my kids… luke is the one who bullies the other 3, haha. I’m v proud of kor kor. He’s really good to them but kind of timid outside. My husband teaches them not to hit back. I find it a bit stupid leh.
 
Olwen, High 5! so u hav the same tot as me ppl beat u must beat them back... haha...
so u are saying G condition is nt due to the barber.. i tot it was. anyway issac doesn't chew too n he like to dig his own throat so causing himself to puke...bad habit.
 
Morning mummies!!

All wet- flooded near by office..had to wade through muddy water -_-

Olwen: Thanks for asking. Hiaz..not better. Greg again woke up yesterday at 3am and want to drink milk and eat cereal. I wonder if he is really hungry or wat?? Coz he really eats a lot in the daytime..and we so scared he overeat. Sigh.

Anyway our 10th anniversary this Monday, so Sunday me and hubby going to Sentosa for a 1N stay. Not bringing baby, hoping to regain some sanity!!

Louisiana: U may want to consult another PD when he hits 2 yrs old. That's what my PD advised, he said at 2 yrs old, can have a better gauge, if need be, can also see a speech therapist coz my boy also not talking much. Though he points alot lah and understands intructions pretty well :p
 
Haircut:
Yesterday i brought my boy for haircut and it's a nightmare. He cried from beginning till end and I was holding him together with my MIL. I was drenched with all his hair. He also poor thing, cried and his mouth was full of his hair. Do u mummies have this problem?

When he was younger, he will guai guai sit and have his hair cut. After he hits 1 year old, every hair cut is a nightmare.
 
karen, mine also cry from start to end. and i was carrying him all the way, looks like i was getting hair cut instead. my mum see liao say next time she will trim his hair in the toilet instead which I dun mind!! save me the agony to bring him to barber.
 
That's why I always let his hair grows long and ppl will think he's a girl. I do not dare to trim myself so i guess I have to wait for him to outgrow the crying phase ;)
 
morning mummies...

raining heavy heavy wor... sky was so dark I thought it was 7am when I woke up at 8am :p

haircut
my boy also cry from the start to end.. toys, balloons can only distracted him for a while... last time when he was younger also guaiguai one leh.. now his hair growing longer, headache to bring him for haircut again..!

What a cold morning... Brrrrrrr~

Liv
When Aden was hvg his bout of flu &amp; cough, i used the pigeon mucus suction thingy, and i think it helped alot. Cos cld get alot of his goo-y thick mucus out of his teeny nostrils. Although i needed help to pin him down.
For cough, i either boil barley water for him to drink warm or the liang cha. Perhaps u may try
happy.gif

Hope he gets well soon!

aly_nat
Playgrp ? I wan I wan! hehe~ Me at SK too! ;)

Re: Bully
I don't advocate hitting back. Otherwise, when bb is older, got to reverse the teaching. I will teach her to stay away from her aggressor. Dun gong gong stand her n get bullied. if the other party is equally young, then I guess he/she is also going thru a learning process.

Glad_gal,
Happy anniversary! Hv a good time.

Just a thought - can it be he is going through a growth spurt? Initially I thought your bb just wake up for milk, which can then be explained as habitual. But if he even bothers to wake up for cereal, then I should think that is real hunger, isn't it? Other possibilities I can think of is, maybe he didn't eat enough solids at dinner, or that he played too hard (physical activities) too close to bed time.

Just some wild guesses
happy.gif


Olwen,
hope he gets over this soon. So lesson learned, dun give him crew cut anymore. lol.

BY the way, he was already throwing up before his bad hair cut, right? So dun worry too much lah. Nat also has the problem of not chewing her food. She lugi lor, cannot hv interesting stuff. I chiam lah, gotta cook seperately for her
sad.gif


minky,
doesn't bbI feel uncomfortable digging his own throat? wonder where he learn that from.
 
Re: Haircut
I feel that bringing to a skilled children's hairdresser makes a big differece. They know how to entertain the kids to make them relaxed first and manage tantrums as well as possible. Alyssa's last haircut was not too bad. She was happily playing with the bottle of sweets + watching dora... that is until some hair got onto her face so she threw tantrum and cried. Heehee. If not for the hair touching her face, I think she cannot be bothered with the cutting... After calming down, she still can tell us her hair nice.
 
Haircut..
My gal loves going to the hairdresser.. She's my MIL friend at the market so my gal sees her almost everyday! Somemore can say her name Ah Neo Ah Neo.. akakka... MIL say whenever she's there, My nini wil ask Ah Neo cut hair.. they've to al e time entertain her cut a little bit jus to make her satisfied.. But becos she knows e hair dresser tts y she not scared.. I wonder how wil she reacts if i bring her to others.
 
Steamboat:

Aden's mummy..
kekeke.. thanks for the recommendation but Sembawang tink too far for some here.. will be looking at more centralized area.. I'll keep that contact for my own use thou.. tsk tsk tsk..
 
Re: haircut
Fifi, not really leh.. think diff kids diff one leh.. once my boy got irritated, he will juz cry and cry lor..
The last two rounds we brought him to Junior League, supposed to be professional in children's haircut one.. equipped with barney video, toys and such...but he simply bochap and cry.. but lucky the lady quite fast lah.. about 15 mins then gao dim else ... -_"
anyway, my boy not much hair lah.. so it's also a blessing and save mummy's $$ too, right lian? :D

Haircut,
Send Jalen to those children's hairdresser (hwa xia). Initially,he always cry and really loud. After that we realise, he can't move and his hands are trapped. Once we allow him to move his freely in the "car"(he can put his hands onto the steering wheel), he never cry from then on. He watches Barney while the hair dresser is cutting his hair. Occasionally, he will look @ himself at the miror. I told him dun move otherwise not "mei mei".
 
Olwen
see.. he frown when he looks into the mirror.. tsk tsk.. doesn't like his hiar la..
haha.. v funny lei u call them zoo exhibits.. But yah hor so many small kids really ley chey to bring out.. me one already v tiring liaoz..

Glad_gal
mine too lei.. she had been having her morning feed around 5+ 6+ for quite some time but lately she can asked for milk at 1am or 4am those weird wierd timings... mayb another round of growth spurt??
 
My girl will always cry when bring her to somewhere new. Relatives' hse sure cry one.
So its lucky she dun have to go barber
happy.gif
 
aly_nat,i don't knw where he learn tat bt he just like to do it. it catches our attention i guess. cause most of the time we are busy eating and just leave him with some dry food n his bowl for him to play.

Hair cut, issac doesn't like going for hair cut.
we brought him there he say don't want aunty to cut... so now i still cut his hair for him... anyway he nt much hair.

Have always brot BBA to Hwa xia to cut hair, but once, there was this inexperienced lady cutting, i almost wanted to vomit blood. she used scissors all the way wanna cut until tmr lor.. tell her its ok to shave, she say "shave will be very short" -__________-
Heng BBA is ok whenever cut hair... is the mummy always cut wait to leave.. hahha</font>
 
Last nite was watching cable vision and came across a programe abt an autistic child.. Scary thing is the parents say e child behaves v normally in the beginning but things changes when he turns 18mths.. v withdrawn from outside world whenever he;s brought out he;ll jus screamed and cry i see how he behaved really quite extreme.. 2 parents 1 hold on to his arms another hold on to his both legs in order to subdue him.. Then at home.. cant take in sounds like vacuum cleaner or grass cutter... hear liao wil cry and scream again.. Reminds me of my fren's son.. she told me she was puzzled initially why her son hates going to the movie.. it was later found out he's autistic and scared of the loud sounds..
 
Aden'sMummy
Which branch of Hwa Xia did u go? I always go to either Harbour Front or Plaza Singapura. Its the same plump lady who cuts Jalen hair. Combination of using scissors and shaving.

Fox sale,
I went to Marina Sq Fox yesterday night.
Fox members got up to 50% discount+25% (for men and women) but up to 50% discount+15% for kids.
When using UOB credit card will be up to 50%+15% discount.
My hubby and I don't fancy any thing. Only bought 1 long sleeve shirt for my son for a wedding dinner in Sep.
More variety for the baby girls than boys.
For adults, not so much. There is also some discount for mums to be.
 
<font color="CC3366"> Yen
Same as u, either harbourfront or PS..
Usually its the same lady who cut for him also, only that ONE particular suay time is another lady.
Yalor, usually is combination of shaving and scissors hor..
The lady that always cut for him speaks in chinese and simple english.. very nice .. but is skinny

hi mummies..
i read from Channel NewsAsia that: -

Heavy downpour causes flooding, road chaos

<font color="0000ff">SCDF personnel are helping evacuate children from a childcare centre at Telok Kurau Lorong G, affected by the floods.

They’re also pumping water out of the childcare centre.</font>

I hope the kiddos are well-taken care of with the number of teachers allocated to the centre..
 
wtan, poor children. Hope they are dry by now. If such situation are parents notify? another thing to worry abt when u put your kids into child care centre.
 
<u>haircut..</u>
aa..so far i will trimmed both my boys' hair..coz gg to the barber for the boys is a nightmare..they can really cry the whole shop down till the hairdresser give up..i also sweat..esp when the boys hair will really grow out very fast..almost 2 wks need to trim once..


lilian..
everytime i called my mum's house, i can hear screamings ard frm her &amp; Mav &amp; the loud TV noise too..it's awaz a challenge to talk to her..wah..ur mum's friends will jio her go casino one ah..steady leh..
my MIL already gave honey to Brod le quite a few mths type..even if i tried to "stop" behind me also cannot know exactly what they give la..

nut..
did u eat alot of crabs/prawns previously when u was carrying nini in u? icic..frm the angle seems like she has big-watery eyes (sui-wang-wang those kind)..very doll..

did anyone talk to the maid before to see if she has any issues or? not sure if the maid can actually "take it"..sorry but i think i awaz has this fear that sometimes maid will try to be funny when no one is looking..someone might have to step in if things worsen..

me preggy with extra fats..lol..

minky..
not sure leh..i wonder if the teachers will have time to call the parents also leh..coz need to tend to the kids..hope there will hv more reports on such situations too..then at least parents like us can also knw what is the contigency plan (if needed)..
 
wah.. flooding again... But this morning's rain is reeeeeally huge... my colleagues cun even cross the bridge from HBF centre to our office cos the shelter was of no use!

Sorryz la mummies.. din mean to frighten u gals.. jus v puzzled why a child with normal development in the beginning can turn autistic e next.. umm.. getting paranoid liao..
 
wtan
hahaha.. e photo is v deceiving la.. she's not big eyed and definitely not 水汪汪.. kakaka...

And yes.. sometimes i really feel like telling MIL dun always scold and shout at the maid.. wait she appear nice nice but at the back do something bad to u.. Din say tt thou cos aiyah she;s my MIL not my mum lei.. somethings can b difficult to say.. But my hubby more direct.. told her wait the maid one day take a knife and stab her.. kakaka...
 
hi mummies,

actually yes i agree with peanut00.. autistic kids getting more leh, i oso v scared.. esp boys' rate ard 3 times higher than girls.. tats y i worry.. i'll continue to observe my boi boi.. hope he is not.. though i did suspect b4 he may be 1 of them.

regarding maid, mayb shld really talk to your MIL abt it. coz everytime scold oso not gd loh. must scare your MIL, say wat u think. really. if not, if maid really kee xiao, e 1 suffers is your child not your MIL. luckily my MIL won't do that. but your husband really cute leh, scare her like that.

A Pri 3 girl becoming a mother, I wanna faintz...
 
nut..
i think the wind was huge too..some areas reported of trees broke branches due to the gusty wind..can be rather dangerous..
i see her eyes is rather big leh..that's y i feel she has big eyes..at least dark eyeballs..
how was ur MIL's reaction when ur hubby tells her in case maid take knife stab her? i m sorry but i think i really cannot trust maid..
r u on msn?

lian..
Mav attended sch near my mum's place in Bedok leh..too far away from K liao..u have not manage to find any sch for K in Tamp area? I have not start searching for Brod yet..

wah..ur mum shd have won quite a fair bit ba..if not cannot be every wk also want to go there want..want enter must pay leh..

i read abt the news of the little girl 9 yrs old gave birth..actually i m wondering if that can really happen lo..i meant the body structure really developed till can withstand the weight of the baby &amp; go thru a smooth pregnancy meh? but it really happened la..
 
Lian
yah i heard abt this yest.. sorry to say this. but the tot of a 9yr old doing this is jus too disgusting.. How would a 9yr old hav sex urge!!?!! Unless she was being raped which is another story..
 
Abt maid again ...
this morning it was raining ... maid was inside toilet washing clothes and MIL was telling her off loudly again .. its raining still havent keep the clothes .. I said she inside toilet wash clothes sound, cant hear the rain bah. Then she ans mi back .. since last nite rain liao. But I'm sure the rain stopped and came back again in the morning when maid was washing clothes and she cldnt hear it. Then I cant be bothered to argue with MIL liao. Not that I want to side with the maid .. juz feel that MIL is so demanding and unreasonable. If maid is so alert and clever, she dun need t be our maid already.
 
Wtan
My MIL laugh lor.. but stil scold and yell as usual -_-
No in office MSN not allowed one.. tsk tsk..

V lao kui la.. but hor.. gurp... up till sec 4 i stil dunoe how a gal gets pregnant.. least to say how to have sex..
 
nut,
Many things changed throughout the years ... now in sch, they are teaching more about sex ... not like last time I was in pri sch, only got one after-class lecture about menstruation or something like tt.
 
nuts, no need lao kui de. Coz me too. U were born in the same era as me.

wtan, me still taking my own sweet time to racee ard. Not much gd CCs ard my mum's area lay. There're gd reviews on Soka Kindergarten (near Safra) but they onli accept 2007 kids nxt year, and only have 3 1/2hr lessons. I may consider their K1 and K2 class nxt time
happy.gif
But t journey is a huge problem.
Ya, me oso wonder how a 9YO body contain a little bb inside!!!
 
Jo, hahaha.. Ya the only thing i remember abt the after-class lecture abt period is, the teacher warned us not to flush our pads in t toilet bowl. Tats it
 
lilian,
Soka kindergarten kids got do prayers one anot? If we were staying there, PIL will definitely want to put Lucas there.
