Agnes, Riverie & Fatfish,
After this term 3 for PlayNest with JG in Forum at 1pm.. we intend to continue for PlayClub.
We have not decided if we want to choose bilingual but are planning to switch Bree to the 9.00am class.
Nowadays... If i do not intervene... i noticed that she has dropped her morning nap.. she now naps between 11.00am 12.00noon and wakes up between 1.00pm to 2.00pm..
she is the most alert in the morning, she wakes up at 6.30am daily.. no matter what time she slept at night..its just that if she slpet late the night before .. she will nap earlier for her afternoon.
i will still monitor her and see how her schedule sets in.. then decide to change her class timing..
anyway.. when they get to pre-school.. it will be starting early in the morning as well.. good for her to develop this habit now.

lizy - i usually let him scream that very second then he will go back to sleep, so usually i won't observe since it doesn't take too long b4 he falls back to sleep again. I guess its hard to observe him. Will put the bolster back into his arms cos it usually gets "thrown" off a distance away from him, hoping it gives him some comfort
pinkdemoness - i'm glad that lil elixir has finally recovered. This should give u abit of your deserved rest. Do take good care of yourself cos elixir depends v much on u =)
reverie - i think my boy is having nightmares too or overstimulated during the day =S
Lenny - take care and hope u enjoy yr trip =) for kyan he wakes up at 7am+. I intend to send him to preschool when he turns 18mths...i hope he is able to attune with the school's timetable cos right now he still has to take nap after his first feed and bath in the morning. And preschool kids have to wake up way earlier b4 7pm.

thx.
9am is out, cos if i take train or cab, we will be caught in jam thought 9am is the best timing. i think i will leave the shag pack to hubby. he will attend with bb on wkn. in fact i prefer biligual. after attending jg i will share my view on jg and gug.
if bree naps later then how to attend class? she will be cranky in class if she miss her nap? i worry too... cos alyssa usually nap abt 10-11 and wakes up abt 11-12+. if like that then might haf to take cab there and rush rush for her bkfast etc... this week so weird. she can zzz for 2 hours fr 4pm. her must haf nap at 4pm.

Lenny,
I also noticed my boy slowly missing his morning naps and sleeps at abt 12+ and wakes before 3pm recently. Am trying to incorporate his lunch before he sleeps but can't. So feed him lunch when he wakes at 2+.
This is also good for me cos i can have my lunch + break in peace.
Reverie,
But at 11am timing, its going to be very hot if they play outside..Not sure how are they going to do this. I will ask during the orientation on 26th. This is one reason I may want to change to forum..See how first.

this teething period is driving all mummies crazy..I just touched Favian's gum and realised two lower molar are erupting..now just keeping my finger cross... make some barley water for Kirs ? it do helps for Favian when he was teething the other time.. and he had high fever for one week that nearly drove me nuts... And I agree... Zoophonics still the best !! ha... economical in terms of location and pocket..
Reverie:
thanks for the pics ! your camera so clear..can see my fats so clearly ! ha..as quoted by my husband..
anyway thanks for the info also... actually I really like GUG but their timing is very off for me..I was sick after rushing thru this early lunch and lesson after three weeks..and weekends my husband is having stupid RT... and compulsory in laws visit.. sigh... So now am just waiting for zoophonics... ya good to move out... I am actually quite glad that I become a SAHM so Favian's care is directly under my way...though lesser help..but also lesser conflicts.. u can deco ALyssa's room like GUG..then she can play matching at home...think will be very fun for her...
Lenny:
enjoy ur trip!
Pinksorbet:
my bb cries in his sleep too..everynight without fail..wake up fuss a while and look for his pacifier before going back to sleep..sometimes he will jus sit beside me and stare at me..scary...

Re: Preschool..
I will let Bree "Choose".. meaning,.. i will bring her to the schools and watch her response while she is there apart from viewing the place etc. myself.
ultimately.. its she who will be attending the school and i really want her to like the place.
apart from pre-school.. if we do get a chance.. will introduce other activities to her to give her exposure.. will just sign her up for trials.. if she like then we go ahead.. if she don't like it.. then we won't force her.

this teething has caused kris to have fever again?
im still trauma with caleb's fever last month..i really really pray that it wont happen again!!! please..pleasee...really trauma!!
re:bb cry
ya sometimes it can be he's having a dream..
or just overtired or stimulated.. if he's having a dream he will cry n scream with eyes closed...if he's overtired he will cry or wake up sitting down on his bed.
re: nap
im so confused here..if i put him 2 naps..i feel that it's too much naps..since he can actually stay awake longer. but 1 nap, he only sleeps 1.5 hour which is not enough..by 7pm he's already sleepy..then the next day will wake up at 6am!! and that's too early for us.. haizz..
any tips how to make bb nap 1x but longer hours?

About switching to Forum for JG.. Its up to individual actually. I had a mommy in my class who transfer from evans road cos she find it too hot and inconvenience of location.
For some babies.. they do enjoy the great outdoors..
As for Bree.. i chose forum cos of her skin sensitivity to heat and convenience of location

ya I'm thinking that if he sleeps at 7pm and wakes up around 6 then I'll have to adjust too..
but the thing is..if he wakes up at 6am..then he naps 1x at 11am for only 1.5 hour..he wont make it til 7pm also.
usually he wakes up at 8am..then if i put him for 1 nap..he will zzz at around 12 or 12.30 til 2pm. then 7 pm he will be very tired already.
next morning wake up 6 am...then nap again cannot be around 12 again like the previous day..coz today he wakes up 2 hours earlier... so he will nap earlier, and bedtime will be earlier than 7pm??
i hope u understand what i mean heehehe..
thats why i see that 1 nap not enough..but 2 naps too many..i'm stuck now. if 2 naps..i find it very difficult to put him to sleep nowadays..always takes 30 mins before he finally zzz..

miss83 - i believe its the teething causing the high fever but the gp doesnt seem to agree with me... but anyway, fever saga over... tooth is cutting thru... not sure if fever will come back again.. hope not... but after the fever, comes the diarrhea... and... very very bad excoriation at her butt...
super duper red & painful... sigh... so poor thing.. so have to change diapers every 2-3hrs... every diaper change have to wash... then dry, apply creams... air awhile... all done with her crying...
and im very very drained.. becos she is super duper manja n sticky...

my first PD I went also didnt agree that teething cause fever..although my heart said so!! then i went to see GP nearby home..and he told me it is true that teething can cause fever..and he confirmed me not to worry that the fever was really due to teething..because at that time I already gave antibiotics (cedax) which was very strong and could fight any infection..but fever kept on going on and off more than 5 days..so GP said it must be the molar cutting..

anyway, last time PD didnt give me meds for diarrhea due to teething.. he said if teething..diarrhea will be on n off..like last time caleb had diarrhea 1 day 2-3x..the next day only 1x..then stop and 2 days later got diarrhea again..

missycandy, agree that PD will not agree with us if we link diarhoea + fever with teething..but our parents will tell us its due to teething..
last time bb Jo had diarhoea, doc gave the lactoforte (pkt, mix with 10ml water), Jovin had only 2pkt, his diarhoea stopped immediately. He likes it very much & always demand for more even after finish the 10ml...think by only stopping the diarhoea only the butts will not bcome red..hugzz tight tight to Kirs..
bb Jo upper molar teeth also out, each on every side..his lower gums r very thick, think the lower molar teeth is coming out soon...recently always wake up at midnite & only sleep back after 1hr..tiring...

Hi mummies good afternoon...
Dropped my housework and came in to have a breather. I am on the verge of snapping
Never know a SAHM can be this tough. My boy is getting on my nerves at every meals I had with him lately. I woke up early in the morning to make soup, prepare his porridge and go marketing but all he did is just dig everything out and throw everything on the floor. I tried diff website for diff recipe, heinz food and etc. Even feed him pediasure. I am so sick and tire of clearing all the mess after each meal. Tried distractions, tv, toys, singing and etc. All methods just failed. I even attended the Parenting Congress to learn any new tricks to deal with this behaviour. All just talk about patience. Its easier said than done.
And lately his behaviour is getting on my nerves too. Whatever we don't give in to him, he would just drop flat on the floor and cry his lungs out. I tried every means and ways to correct him but he is just becoming from bad to worse. Just now he refuse to get up from his bath tub and used his iron head to bang my head so that I would give in and let him back into the tub. Now both of us got a big bruise on our head
sigh... My in laws just only know how to comment that I need to be patient with him, cannot scold him, cannot make him cry. But no one is helping me. I got like zillion of stuffs to do every day and I am missing all the social life I used to have with this 24/7 job.
Sorry for ranting so much..But I just need somewhere to ventilate. Or else I think I am going mad soon..

re: brushing teeth
I use cloth and clean leh. cos whenever I use the brush with toothpaste he would vomit out and cries loudly too. And he would bite me if I force my way in.

mummy_bean: no worry .. lets jia you!!! =D
mummybean,
ya gotta be firm and not lose your temper/become impatient. now is the time they are seriously testing our limits, and they want any kind of reaction out of us, whether it's good or bad. the main thing is: if they do things to annoy you, don't raise your voice, don't show them you are angry, just look at them straight in the eye with a serious face, and say in a very low pitch severe voice not to do it again. gotta make that eye contact, and keep at the staring especially if they laugh and try to manja.
i tell u what really works for my kiddo ( and i read somewhere that it works for all todds too with a lot of consistency) is positive attention - like don't just give him the attention when they do something bad, give them the attention when they do something good too, eg if he one day lets u take him out of his bath without making any fuss, really praise him for behaving himself. and keep praising for any kind of good behaviour so that he gets the idea that if he behaves in a certain (ie good) way, he will get kisses/cuddles fr u and daddy
and at this age, not really a good idea to let them self feed if you are not prepared to deal with the mess lah.
i think patience is one thing, but consistence is another, esp when it comes to discipline
just keep the mantra that you are the one in charge, not him. u have to scold/slap wrist also so that they get the idea, even if it makes them cry. and i tell u, they will keep repeating over and over and over until u are damn sian, but it's all a normal part of growing up loh ;p
hang in there!
ya gotta be firm and not lose your temper/become impatient. now is the time they are seriously testing our limits, and they want any kind of reaction out of us, whether it's good or bad. the main thing is: if they do things to annoy you, don't raise your voice, don't show them you are angry, just look at them straight in the eye with a serious face, and say in a very low pitch severe voice not to do it again. gotta make that eye contact, and keep at the staring especially if they laugh and try to manja.
i tell u what really works for my kiddo ( and i read somewhere that it works for all todds too with a lot of consistency) is positive attention - like don't just give him the attention when they do something bad, give them the attention when they do something good too, eg if he one day lets u take him out of his bath without making any fuss, really praise him for behaving himself. and keep praising for any kind of good behaviour so that he gets the idea that if he behaves in a certain (ie good) way, he will get kisses/cuddles fr u and daddy
and at this age, not really a good idea to let them self feed if you are not prepared to deal with the mess lah.
i think patience is one thing, but consistence is another, esp when it comes to discipline
hang in there!

Thanks for the advise !! ya I am actually doing the positive attention lately and I am guilty of raising my voice and losing temper at him. Sometimes he can cries for half an hour just to get his way and it often really drives me up the wall as kids cries can be really irritating and drilling to our soul.
But I will heed your advise and control myself as I think if I keep on losing myself towards him I might turn him into a violent lil kiddo too.
Now I am searching for classes to sign him on and distract him so that I can take a breather and he can learn some social skills from other kiddos. Hopefully things will work out. Thanks again!

*hugs hugs mummy bean* yes do see when free. maybe we cn mit up for a drink or a meal... at least before i go back to work =P i too lose my temper at times... but luckily for me so far... (touch wood) she doesnt throw tantrums with me.. im quite fierce and i wil stare at her and say no... i will keep on saying no til she gets it... like when she wans to climb out of her high chair during a meal i will talk nicely 1st... doesnt wrk then u knw la.. they dun have patience.. i jus "tiak" her leg... *flick with my finger* duno u understand what im saying or not... lolx... likewise when she touches something she aint supposed to, il "tiak"her hands.... after awhile, she gets the point n doesnt touch it... she will also play punk... she wil try to touch it.. then when i wana tiak her.. she wil faster say no... and wag her finger... lolx... cheekie monkie! if throw tantrum at home i jus leave her be... but i wil also tell her its not right... but outside i have 0 tolerance... can be quite paiseh if she creates a ruckus... so i give in to her... most of the time its becos she wans to walk around... but becos shes such a samseng climbing here, there, touching, pulling, running, i try not to let her get too used to being on the loose when outside... just awhile is fine in an open space... but not where space is limited... distractions that work for her would be food... water... n iphone
then sometimes i wil smack her thigh... i knw we not supposed to smack them becos it doesnt work somehow at this age... but she seems to get it at times... =P
i peifu u SAHM! sometimes i really wana go nutsss! and i really want to sleep in!!! but i cant... *sobs* part of me cnt wait to go back to work to have some peace but a part of me also wants to be ard to spend more time with her... hee hee...

thanks...ya..I am trying hard not to..but can't help it at times..

ya we should we should ! when u going back to work ? Actually I am also consider very fierce towards him til at times he doesn't really fancy me or will even reject me as I am usually the discipline master at home. Lately he started to be very índependent', has a mind of his own and when I say no..he would purposely go against it and repeat it many times til I smack him or raise my voice. I really wonder why.
I understand how u feel. Part of me can't wait to get back to work but part of me is enjoying participating in his growing up process. Yet I am really draining out. Sigh.

Discipline - yeah its tough. i get so tired sometimes i'll just lie down and raise my voice at him, but he's very "bao pi", i rasie my voice a little teeny weeny bit and he'll cry already , hehee so quite easy...only thing is, for a boy, that's kind of timid lor...and he's very manja and sticky to me...
