I think u should report her to the SMC. Imagine what she could be doing to all the other kids. I would if I'm u.
Why not try a different fm and see if there is any difference? Also, send him to gym classes to expend his energy. I recommend jwt kids coz that one is him doing most of the work, not us. My hb was ever sent to a psychiatrist coz too active. Dr said it's coz too smart, nothing to do. So u must always have something to occupy him, challenge hiM
then he will be easier to handle. Have loads of colouring materials, pots and pans, cars etc for him to play. Their attn span now is very short. Give him things to assemble and dismantle.

Jul,
Ya, i agree with mashy tat you've got to find different activities to keep him occupied. I know it's not easy for you. Cos ethan is also v v active. Ppl won't understand wat i meant by active until they see him with their own eyes. but yr sam sounds more active than ethan!
What we do with ethan - read books, flash cards, play puppets, let him crawl here & there, climb up & down the bed, bring him outside to train him to walk, let him kick ball, chase after our dog, watch dvds, look at photo albums, play his toys, mainly his cars. now he loves to doodle with his crayons & doodle board.

enough la. Coz you are mainly in Tokyo. Not so cold. Just a sweater and jacket can already. Only if u are at Yokohama and odaiba at night then it will be cold. The rest are ok. Bring umbrella tho coz may rain.

Which part of bukit panjang are u staying? My First Skool is opening two new ones at bukit panjang by beginning of next year. One at blk 416, the other at blk 600 something. I'm intending to send my son to the one at blk 416 when he reaches 18 mths. Should be easy to get in since it's a new centre.

my mil is taking the diploma in childcare thingy and she was posted to ntuc childcare aka my first skool. She was appalled by the situation there. Besides a very high student teacher ratio, there is a high turnover and the teachers looking after the kids are permanent. The teachers kept changing and she altho an 'intern' was a main teacher for a class. Her advice is dun save this money. You get what u pay for. U pay cheap, your kids get the most cheapo and worst childcare. Altho I know it's not the same everywhere. The childcare that my son attends is very cheap but it's ok coz I know the teachers didn't change for him and it's a small sch. U may wanna be sure your kid is getting the best care there.

Woohooo ... think i might hv a chance to go jap as well! But it's sort of rushing cos we r going next friday, and i just submitted online application for ovann's passport! Hope i can get it in time.
Er .. tokyo not cold now rite? And i'm looking for cheap & light stroller. Baby s told me Giant has .. i went to see and it cost $40+, it's light (at least lighter than my capella), but i wonder how light is light? Is there anything that i can carry w/o difficulty cos hubby not going with me.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'll still let him try out the centre coz you won't know how it is like until you try out. It's the nearest centre from my place also. The other montessori has got long waiting list. Anyway just trying out the half day programme. Hope it turns out well

why not get those lucky baby or whatever brand mesh stroller? Those are very much lighter. Get it with sling so that u can sling it over the shoulder. It's also stable enough to hang stuff. I think usual price about 80 but can get below $50 which is quite often. I bought mine at carrefour last time.

piggy,
Ya .. going with my sis, her hub and my mum. But wld a stable stroller mean heavier too? Cos was wondering if tokyo is stroller-friendly? If not, den i really rather get a lighter stroller so dat i can fold up & carry. I'd just bring a big tote bag to carry all the loots & barang-barang.
But den again, the trip is not confirm till i get ovann's passport! Btw, how did ICA inform u that kyler's passport is ready? Thru mail?
mashy,
Ya, i'm looking for ANY stroller that is light & cheap .. hahaha
Just that this trip is such a rush, i dun hv time to go shop around. Only went giant just now and saw the Jeep kiki mentioned. But the one u mentioned sounds good ... do u hv the model name or number?

haha, this tells us to get the passport ready no matter whether u are having any intentions to go hol or not.
Piggy
next time say your boy is sick la. I hate it when other kids touch mine. That day I was strolling my gal and waiting for lift. Then when lift door open, this auntie came out and stroked my gal's cheek! I was shocked and she just quickly said 'she so cute!' .~_~

Good morning everybody.
sharon,
could the GP medicine be too strong for your bb? what did the GP say ? Did your son vomit because of phelgm/cough ? It's better to stop medication first...
piggy,
sometimes things happen too fast, no time to react, i think it's fine to use wet wipes to sterilize ba ... but y boy kiss boy , must be quite a funny sight ...

I think the mother is rather selfish. She may wanna teach her son to love other children but she 'forgot' to ask for permission to do so. It's the same like pp even strangers feel the right to rub your tummy when you are preg.

baby s/ piggy,
Ya, same here ... ovann oso kena a few times strangers commented 'wah, so cute! eyes so big!' and proceeded to touch his cheeks. Agree that it's a bit irritating.

Jul, some kids simply cannot sit still, burt no need to worry, he will still do well and learn well in school. Like what the other mummies suggest, gotta let him expand his energy with outdoor kind of activities.
pegsfur, my umbrella stroller is the maclaren volo. Very light, less than 5 kg, very sturdy, and I've had it for 5 years, and it is surviving 3 kids! Someone did a review on it: http://sengkangbabies.blogspot.com/2010/01/our-trusted-stroller-maclaren-volo.html
