lamagier, i also bought from wok a few days ago, and loving it. bought the LG prime (2300*1400*15mm) fisher price cars. tomi hasnt crawl yet, so he likes to sit and play, lie down, and flip around. so far i think 15mm is thick enough cos when tomi flip sometime head down first, but he's ok. i'm thinking of play yard but dunno if it's too late since cannot use once they start climbing...hehehehe

kim, winnie_mummy, do u think our kids sleep lesser now? i feel tomi sleep lesser compared to 2 months ago when he can sleep 7pm to 7am, now maybe he's under nanny care, seems like sleeping later 7pm sleep but wake up 8pm and zzz again 11pm to 8am. nap is short as usual, half to an hour max.

my gal now just cries for abt 5mins when she sleeps at night.
Before that, she was sleeping with me. Until i fed up, decide once and for all, she's going back to her bed. At first I tried the mtd where the moment she gets up, i put her back down. Failed miserably. I got a backache and she screamed for a very long time. Then i tried the mtd that they say to lengthen the time that u respond. Also failed miserably. Coz everytime i return to her side, she cried even louder. So fed up, i decided to just ignore her cries totally. 1st nt 1hr. After that 30mins and eventually 1 week later, after she screamed her voice hoarse, she stopped after 5mins. So now when it's bedtime, i just say good night, switch off the lights and let her cry it out. I realised after many rounds that the most she'll cry is only 5mins. So i just covered my ears during that time.
After that, she'll give up and go to sleep by herself.

my gal also didn't wanna nap just now! We struggled with each other for 2hrs i think. End up, i carried her to the living room window. As she gazed at the trains passing by, she fell asleep in less than 5mins. After that, i dumped her in her cot. sigh. I guess to her is that she has won the battle. Coz not sleeping in her cot. But I won the war. *wink*

poohbear, my #1 attended julia gabriel playclub, love the classes, the teachers are super friendly and motherly. the chinese teachers there speaks superb mandarin, love their story telling wif real act out drama which sparks her chinese interest. i put my #1 for holiday class in gug, but she always ask me if she can return back to JG, so i guess she must have enjoyed JG more.

hbb, it's the board boook! that's y I said it's cheap liao! $7! from the last bp I order the Brown Bear Brown Bear what do you see, it's not a board book, very dissapointed le. and it's more than $12.
hbb, better recheck again around your house, what can go inside edna's mouth. I'm so paranoid, because Nigel got lots of relatively small toys, like puzzle and the bakugan balls!
tje/lamagier, help me to collect can? I barely can lift up 1 book now. hehehe...

Kim, I usually leave XY in her cot and she will stir till tired then sleep on her own. Not sure if it's a good thing but it sure lightens my job as in no need to pat or rock her to sleep. Occasionally she will ask to be carried for a while then put back in the cot.

RE: Brushing
Mummies, do you only brush the teeth or also brush the gums as well?
RE: Jar food
I finally bought 1 jar Heinz pumpkin/beef to try. Mixed into XY's rice/oats porridge. Mixed a little each time. Abt 4 or 5 meals I think. She don't seem to like it very much but I keep feeding till she finish. The smell is quite strong though. Since she don't seem to like it, don't think I will buy it again.

RE: Battle with LO's nap/ sleep
I think our LO is adjusting their nap/sleeping habit. For the battled yesterday I had with K, he won. He ended up not napping, and I just let him crawl, jump, walk until hb came home and decided to go out for dinner. At the rstn, he still cant fall asleep. Finally at 9pm, he KOed cos he can't fight himself anymore.. We got back about 10:45pm and he could barely stay awake while I wipe him.. Then at 5am he woke up. He refused to go back to sleep so hb gave up. I fed him 5oz and brought him to our bed, magic happened, he slept until 8:30!!!!!
Then that's where problems comes, he refused his nap at 9:30am, and although he seem sleepy. I let him crawl, jump, cruise and walk again until he fusses. I pick him, give his stinky pillow and he slept from 11 until now (1:30).
Wish K would just stir and go to sleep, he always roll over, crawl to the outer side bar of the bed and stood up crying.. (like in his fb video).. I see that the "leave him alone" method doesn't work for this boy, he jsut got more worried to fall asleep cos he thinks everytime he shuts his eyes, I disappeared!
RE: Books
Hey, anyone order the Usbourne "That's Not My" series? Is it SGD10/pc?

japa: Arnica cream is really effective for bruises. You can find it at organic shops, Vita kids has it. Hope poor Mia is alright
Today's thread's moving so fast! Yesterday was so slow.
hbb & japa,
Read about E and M - so scary. Thank goodness pp there in time to stop them from swallowing!
Hey mummies, as some of you know, I'm a bit ill, so want to know if we can give bbies Vit C to boost their immunity when we are ill -so that they won't catch it from us? I've been staying away from him these few days - so sad. I miss carrying him and playing with him and if he's home, it's husband looking after, but I sent him to my mum's during the daytime. So...is there anything we can give your LOs?
Sleep - his sleep pattern has been ...well, no more pattern!! Sigh. Last night, woke up a few times. dh went to him of course, but I heard him everytime he cried - bec of the bb monitor...
I went to bed at 8 pm last night and only got out of bed at 10.10am this morning. What a luxury.
Feel better, but am off to bed early again tonight as we have such a busy Sat!

Oh!
BTW, I ordered the snack ball (Etirto thanks for the suggestion!!! I rem you told me abt it when I saw you feed N last time!) from Wreen and will collect it from her, so for those who I'll meet up soon, you want me to collect for you too?
Oh yeah! I knocked into a friend's wooden fence for her house!!! ALAMAK!!!!!!! The fence was already loose, but I think I was so slow, bec not feeling well, so now I gotta pay for it(Of course, my fault) but am hoping that it won't cost much!!! It is the fence that separates two houses. No one was hurt, not even me, nor the car, only my wallet going to hurt! sigh. AND I cancelled work tomorrow = less money - because I want to rest! ARGHS!!!!
Etirto, is N (the girl "N") better? Everyone has a runny nose! Must be a bug in the air....

Aiyah...cannot...sigh. The house is rented, I'm not close to that person and her contractor is coming in tomorrow. Just hope I won't get "ke-tok", because they are expats so hope the contractor won't "ke-tok" them...and they have got the contractor's contacts from the owner, who am sure would love to get a good job done on his fence.
Never mind! I shan't think about it! As long as no one was hurt
Oooh the drugs are beginning to take effect.....

Thanks Chiyojade, I love not reporting to work! Not bored yet since my last day was just last Thursday. Then the weekend flew by and it was time for the move.

Lamagier,
I ordered too when I saw her email this morning, but I got the green toy bag and bath toys. I remember seeing the toy bag at the Taka baby fair and thought it's quite nifty when filled up with stuffed toys, and I got stuffed toys over flowing in my 2 ikea toy baskets already.
Chiyojade,
hope you'll feel better too! The lousy extreme season changes are back, hot and then cold, even if I aircon the house, just feels bad when I step out with J during the day. Don't know if babies can take any supplements at this stage, maybe a bit of juice?
Just had a nice dinner at Etna, a pizza/pasta restaurant on East Coast road. Very nice pink lobster sauce for the pasta, and cheeses on the house pizza. Makes me wonder if the 4 cheeses pizza is even better. It was a nice break to a really tiring week cos J's been really cranky this week, wailing whenever I step out of her playroom to do stuff, or even get a drink of water. She gets impatient with anything. Only relief I got was that she likes to be "nice" infront of other babies. When other babies leave, I got a cranky baby back. Argh...

chiyojade, is it possible that you get your own-selected contractor? I think it's 99% possible that you will kena ke-thok one. somemore the tenant is expat. is the house owner local? I hope he can 'control' for the price. If it's a just wooden fence, (you don't need to change the whole strech, right? unless you damaged the whole thing)...then it shouldn't be cost so much as the main gate that involve mechanism. btw, hope you get better soon!
N boy got little accident for second time, knock against the granite wall just above the left eye and makes it looks like purple pingpong ball. Now he looks like wearing a smoky eyeshadow look. Haiz. apparently he raced with his friend to the lift door with the wet feet and couldn't break on time and the fatty mum can only walk slowly behind and screaming calling him but he never listen.

HBB,
If the pink toy bag wasn't OOS, I think it might just match the other egg-like cushion you have. I think it just looks cute, who knows, might turn out to be a dust collector later...
J's down with a cold with a slight fever today...finally saw how miserable babies with cold can be, having to breathe heavily through the mouth. Brought her to Kinderclinic cos my reg PD is away on holiday. Think Dr Cheng too nice to her, cos she just wail at him when he tried to check her throat.

Sam,
Am glad that J's fever has broken! Never mind if she's clingy - she's ill! ;-P Sayang J!
