I saw my gal gal's name being mentioned here!!! hehehe...
Yeah.. the leapfrog playground is indeed fun and I can say the music is entertaining/interactive too!
I rent this toy to place at my mum's and bought another one from ebay at $35! Ok condition and with no balls,everything is working fine and Chelsea enjoys it!
yuan2 was sooo excited for the past few days that she woke up at 5.30am and wanna mummy/daddy to play with her *faint*
re: HT teddy puff
mummies who bought this, pls check before u give to bb... i opened the box to let yuan2 try -- took out a few puff and break into smaller pieces... saw some weird brownish stuff put it aside thinking that it is some fibre stuff... when i wanna sealed the box, saw more weird brown stuff -- on closer look, those were dead bugs/flies!! GOSH, quickly throw away the whole box and whatever that was left in the bowl! hope yuan2's stomach is strong enough!
not sure whether the bugs were packaged together with the puff or they grew in the box when i store it for the past few months... i must open my eyes wide wide before i feed yuan2 anything new...
Hi adv sport,
The presence of bugs in HT pdts hve been existing since long ago. Especially in cereals. Did not realise tat it exist in puffs n biscuits too. Must really check Liao!!
Back to work today....really miss my 2 darlings...
poohwei, gosh! i still hv 1 box of mixed grain cereal left... so far, those cereals that i fed yuan2 dun hv any bugs... oh, i let yuan2 try the jasmine chicken luau food jar -- she dun like it as the smell is so weird and i threw away the whole jar... now left with many jars of fruits -- dunno whether she will like it...
re: straw cup
how to train bb to drink from straw cup? yuan2 tried a couple of time but she is only interested in biting the straw and will throw the cup after a short while...
ju, so far, i din see any bugs in brown rice, barley n oat cereal... i still hv 1 box of mixed grain cereal and fruitty jars from HT... do look out before u feed jodie...
OMG i didnt see the HT cereal wn i feed... oh i hope nothing is inside finishing already. just opened the maple teething biscuit. is that also a dangerous bug pdt? all i know it's horrible n jayden lick till it's all wet and the brown color frm the biscuit + his saliva drip all over the place and look lok shit staining his clothes! but it taste yummy to me. like the lantern festival biscuit in the basket "piglet"
createjoy, do check the package before u feed ur baby... and yes, the maple teething biscuit will create a lot of mess -- i stopped giving yuan2 after 1 try...
today ifc starts operation le...bring jaeden there this morning he is ok...but when fetch him back, the caregivers comment that he is very cranky, refused to nap and always wan to be carried..i think is due to the long holidays and he becomes very sticky to daddy/mummy loh...adv and juju, do u all feel the same ?
re : bugs
wah..luckily i never get the HT teddy puff..but i let ifc feed jaeden HT cereals...so far they never feedback any bugs in it...is really scary if got bugs in their biscuits...usually i will break it into small pieces before i put into jaeden's mouth so i will see first..if any strange smell or colour i wont give to him loh..
createjoy, i hate the HT teething biscuits too ! so messy and stain the clothes so hard to wash..i bring it to ifc but no infants like it..so i threw the whole box away le..
re : straw cup
i bgt the straw cap yesterday..can fit into the pigeon mag mag cup..but haven let jaeden try it yet...i think he will bite it too..
porky,
hmm... the only thing is dat jodie almost din allow the caregiver to carry her when i dropped her off in the morning. other than dat, quite normal. she even took long nap. come back home also normal leh
juju, when jaeden come back home he is normal le...dunno why the caregivers say he is cranky at ifc today..hope tmr he will get used to there again...so poorthing when i fetch him today, he refuse to smile at us le..i think he is angry loh..
porky,
yea, when pick up is ok. maybe he's tired so din smile?
today jodie keep alternating btw crying & slping, she's still at hm. think today wun send her to ifc le.
lily,
yes, tmr 2pm. i will sms those coming my addy later.
wow throw away the HT biscuit ah qt ex leh. actually jayden is ok munching it. maybe i will give him before bath let him have a chance to feed himself so far only gave him baby bite n HT biscuit to eat himself. tried banana but it's too soft he choke on a big bite haha. jayden having a cough and flu... suppose to start IFC next wk. what if he haven recvr,will the IFC ask him to stay at home?
porky, yuan2 is ok when we send her back to ifc after the long weekend... in fact she sleeps better there than @ home! during cny, she refused to nap coz heart wild wild *haha* maybe jaeden enjoyed the company of mummy/daddy so much
createjoy, usually, IFC will accept bb if he does not hv fever. Give them the medicine and state the time to feed ur bb.
USA Grad Student Research with Singapore Parents - Quick Survey
Thank you to those who have completed my survey - I have already received 25 responses!! I am hoping to get 5 more so I can do my comparison study. Can you share this with other parents you know? I really appreciate the help and am so excited about studying in your country! Here are the details...
I am a graduate student at the University of St. Thomas in the United States (Minnesota), participating in a study abroad course in Singapore at the National Institute of Education. The study is to learn more about couple's relationship as they take on the role of parenthood.
The following people are invited to take the 5-minute survey:
* Have you had your first (and only) child in the past six months to 24 months?
* Do you live with the co-parent?
* Is it the first child for both partners?
