Straw cup:
I managed to intro the straw cup to S!
It's just been 2 days, but so far so good. She takes in too much water sometimes and chokes a bit, or sometimes water dribbles out of her mouth, but I believe she will eventually learn how to control it. She's super keen to use the cup, but maybe it's just the novelty of it for now... *cross fingers*
Skyla's 1st birthday:
Cake ordered 1mth+ ago hehe. Goody bags and goody bag contents also ordered liao, items arrived 2wks ago, I just haven't collected. Didn't order balloons though, cos it seemed so troublesome to rent helium tank to inflate them, and if go to florist or party stores to inflate, inflation charges for normal latex balloons don't seem cheap anyway. Will probably get helium pre-inflated balloons from one of the shops. Still need to get a no. 1 candle, and think about what food to serve/order.
Superbee, thanks for the heads up about SKP! I only know them for disposables, didn't think of them for candles. My downstairs got 1 branch hehe, shall go ask!
Samsam, I give S mozzarella and organic cheddar. I don't buy sliced/shredded cheese, I buy those that come in a block. No reason, I'm just funny like that haha. I find it easier to cut a chunk so she can hold in her hand comfortably. So far S prefers the mozz, cos it's milder tasting. But having said that, she loves the cheese sauce that I prepare for her, which contains cheddar and pecorino, so go figure. PG Cakes is at AMK I think, can walk in and buy slices to try. Maybe can go to Feb/Mar threads to ask them for feedback, since they would have hosted their kids' birthday parties already
Creamer/Samsam, maybe you guys can start a June thread bulk purchase for PG cakes. Think bbaugustine was keen too...
June 09 Baby First Birthday Party:
As Cassey mentioned, I came across Mar/Apr/May mummies (don't remember which mth) planning to hold their combined bash/gathering in the month after all their kids' birthday. Our thread is the June thread right, so most of our babies are born May-June, so holding it on any weekend in this period is bound to clash with a couple of babies' parties. Thought holding it in early July might be good, so everyone gets the opportunity to attend (if still got other engagements, then boh bian liao). Creamer's suggestion of 3rd/4th Jul sounds good! But I'm
only suggesting hor...
