Agreed that we should not include bonuses else very sian.. then we agreed on the items that should be paid through the account. Over the years, i learn to close an eye on his expenditure since din touch joint. What i do is, i "tax" him here and there.. to cut his spending.. then i save on my own.. hahahah

missycandy,
re: tonsils - u gotta look into the mouth and look right at the back directly - quite difficult cos the back of the tongue is usaally in the way. sometimes if they are laughing or more usually if they are screaming their heads off u can see more clearly. tts y drs tend to use a tongue depressor and its pretty unpleasant for bb's - so if its done its just done once so one looke is enough to tell. heh.
alternatively, sometimes u can tell if their throat is sore lah - they get a bit reluctant to eat and drink, or they look like they have some difficulty swallowing. usually if it's sore they will have a bit of temp as well. if its just swollen then they might just have some problems swallowing. and if the adenoids are also big, nose will get blocked, they breathe thru their mouths, and they can snore.
oh, and if the tonsils/upper throat region is sore, they can also claw at their ears cos the pain can typically radiate there
u can try to feel the neck, but quite often ppl (including some GPs who don't examine necks very often) feel the submandibular salivary glands and think they are swollen lymph glands or swollen tonsils - not very accurate if u dunno what to feel for ;p
ok. tmi liao. hope it helps tho
and hope kirsten is better!

areya - thanks!!! brought her to GP. he managed to peek into her mouth. he didnt mention tonsils so i guess no issues there. question abt the swollen lymphnodes vs salivary glands - if its swollen wldnt it be quite obvious? is there size difference in the bilateral glands?

The Little Gym trial:
I just went this Sunday. Lots of fun.
The kids who can walk seem to benefit more from the class. The slightly younger ones like mine enjoyed free play and exploration more.
May be a good strategy to bring them for free play sessions first at Gymboree/Fidgets etc first and when they are comfortable with it, they benefit from a more structured class environment.
Having said that, there was one 10.5 month old who was attentive in class. Either she's used to a class environment already or her personality is naturally that sort. Another benefit of attending the class is that you learn how to spot your child. We guided A to do a backward roll and she loved it.

P.seed.. which branch did you go to? Not sure if we bump at each other unknowingly haha 
True.. actually not going to renew after the term cos am thinking to let her try other things..
she's very happie and enjoys the class very much although i'm holding her trying to walk her but she'll hop cos very excited hehe..when we came home, she will suffer withdrawal symptoms don't nap and wanna play, the gym sort of activated her hyper activeness

missycandy,
u not supposed to feel normal lymph glands in neck, but u can feel submandibular glands. lymph glands are everywhere in the neck, and typicall they can swell below the angle of the jaw in a tonsillitis, which is around where the submandibular gland is. one who is not accustomed to feeling the neck can easily mistake a normal gland for a swollen lymph node. i seen gps and a+e juniors make that mistake
anyhow if u wanna play ard and practice u can lah. hehe.

Hello mummies, I just held the 1st year bday celebration for my girls on Sunday. Mini celebration with just 20 pax, food from Neo garden and cake from Pine Garden. Absolutely love the cake but just note that the cream is very thick! My girls were bewildered by all the fuss and started crying after some relatives tried to bao bao them. Just glad that everything is over!
Another thing i'm so happy about is finally i have stopped bfing!! No more lugging of bottles and pump to the office everyday! YAYAYAYYA...hahah so happy that i want to share my happiness..

Happy birthday to your girls. Where did you hold the party?
I finally got my ass moving to plan the birthday party for my boy. Most likely to hold it at canele as we may get a special price for the food and cake. I am also limiting my guests list to not more than 40 and mostly friends with kids cos I reckon those without will be bored at such gatherings.

Hi mummies!
Will your babies purposely fall backwards? Mine will do so when on bed cos he knows it's soft landing. He does it like a form of play. Worried that he will try it on hard ground too cos sometimes he looks like he is abt to attempt it. Aiyo..

jacqueline tan,
i believe at some point mine tried to do that but i seriously told him off and discouraged it. he stopped doing it esp when he knocked his head on the playmat on the floor, which itself was carpeted, so it wasn't so bad. you betterput your foot down and start scolding him/slapping his wrist/hand when he does that, and make sure everyone who sees him do it does the same to stop encouraging it. otherwise, he'll have to learn the hard way like mine did (but make sure he's doing it on a cushioned floor!)
