(2009/08) August 2009 MTBs

kiki,

wan to go 1 more trip before start plannin for #2. with #2, dun think i hv the extra cash to go any more long trips.
sad.gif
anyway, still thinking hard whether to hv #2 though hb is v keen. sigh..... wat's wrong wif jus having 1??? argghh......
 


babyS,

ethan also same as kyler. refused to wear anything on his head. bought a nice beanie for him before the trip but he refused to put it on. but he has lots of hair lah. so maybe he's alreadi warm. ahahahha!
 
just to share: i bought a kodomo tooth brush for shayna, specially amde for toddlers.. it has the kind of bristles that adult brushes have.

Wah, it works so much better at cleaning than those with the rubber bristle like tollyjoy/ piegon. Shayna's teeth were yellowish b4. now i use this brush liao, not yellow liao!
 
Talking abt holidays, hubby said he wanna go HK again .. aiyoh, every time go HK de ... can't he change the destination? TW is nice oso mah.

Anyway, have signed ovann for another term at GUG cos i've seen he's learnt something from the class. Though he's still as playful (he upgraded from climbing chairs to climbing tables yesterday ...), i do find that he enjoys the class.

Dunno why he's super cranky today ... everything oso dun want. Go pom pom? Shake head. Change diaper? Shake head. Wear pants? shake head ... Not sure if its due to the mmr he just taken or simply tired cos he slept late & woke up early.
 
baby s,
Serious? How much is the brush?

Yesterday called up Aquamarine to make reservation for dinner on 22 dec, and it's already fully booked!!! I thot it was just some gimmicks when the papers reported 2 weeks ago that several restaurants were fully booked for the festive season .. so it's real huh ...
 
its $1.90 only!! got different colour some more..

i opposite from u.. when my husband says "go hk?" (his family does some yearly pilgrimage to HK) i'll always reply "OK!" hahaha...
 
baby s,

Ooh ... a couple of songs, together with the hand actions, oh, i dun mean he knows how to sing lah ... haha ... just that he recognise the songs and will start doing those hand actions when we sang the songs.

Then he's also learning the phonics thing? Yesterday was the 4th lesson, and he started to picked up A(alligator) and B(bear). The majority of his classmates are abt 1 or 2 mths older than him and they already knew alot of the alphabets since they attended classes earlier than him too.

I espcially like the music class and i can see that he really likes it too. When the teacher blows the bubbles, can see his delighted face, walking around to touch the bubbles

But he's still a monkey in the class .. hummph ..
 
BabyS,
he jus dun like his head n hand kena cover even i wear jacket for him he will make noise if he cant see his hand.. but heng he din catch any cold la..

Pegsfur,

baby s/ piggy,

Haha .. i dun mind HK lah, just that we dun always got chance to go holidays, esp now with ovann along. So if wanna go, why dun go somewhere we've never been to?

Karen
try udon? Noodles? Pasta? I buy the dry udon so when I need I just cook like spaghetti.
 
karen, noodles, pasta, rice? alot of us are giving such foods liao..

pegs: yeah hor, if u have a chance to travel, might as well go somewhere where u havent been b4..
 
mashy: whr to get those dry udon , how u mix to enhance the taste of the udon ?

pasta , also how to enhance I cant use those btl pasta sauce right .
 
karen, u are in my FB right.. i have a album of foods that i cook for shayna with recipes there... "Adventures of shayna and her cooking mama" go look thru that album. if u interested in any recipe, PM me i'll share with u.. very simple recipes.
 
Karen

I got it from the supermarket. Ntuc bishan, isetan and mediya should sell. I usually just do a simple soup base like abc soup and add the udon (after cooking it). Usually just fry minced pork, onion, potato and carrots and add a little water. Simple to eat and she likes it.

For pasta, I also fry onions with minced pork/beef/fish and carrots, frozen corn, tomatoes and add tomato paste. If I have spinach, I add that too. But nowadays I hardly make pasta coz my gal isn't very keen on pasta unlike her bro. I cook more udon coz she prefers that. She more cheena.
 
hey mummies anyone knows if the pigeon 250ml peristaltic bottle made of polycarbonate, is it BPA free? didn't state on the box.
 
I'm making beef stew again today and i'm very happy to say ovann is eating more! Previously he'll take very very long just to finish 2 tablespoons of rice and he'll gag alot along the way. Today, he takes slightly longer but he ate more and no gagging! I'm so happy ... beef stew is so much easier to cook than porridge ... haha .. lazy mum
happy.gif
 
jeni,

I think for pigeon, the clear bottles are not BPA free. Those bottles which are slightly tinted are BPA free ... if i remember correctly.
 
pegs: yeah! =) beef stew easier to make then porridge meh? haha..

karen, i forgot u can give kway teow with a soup base also if ur boy cant chew that well yet..
 
cloudme
wa.. your bb can brush her own tooth liao ah?
good leh..

i buy those pigeon above 12 mths old use toothbrush. haha.. he likes it. he will want to hold and brush himself.
 
Bean

actually i take one small bowl as a guideline.
those chinese small bowl.
my bb eat about 2/3 consider full liao le.. and if they full, he will shake his head that he don want anymore. or if its not nice. haha
 
sbb,
no lah my girl is coming 3yr old (but at 18mth she knows briefly how to brush her own teeth liao)

but now i let my boy brush his own teeth too...
trying to let him get used to toothbrush...
cos next yr he will be in playgroup and like his jiejie need to brush own teeth...
 
actually if they see u brushing their teeth, after a while they'll know how to liao. Dont expect perfection but they'll know the motion of it..

karen: that really depends lor... I usually judge by the rice bowl. About 2/3 of a bowl is enough bah. Sometimes a bit more if really hungry.

SBB: hahah.. same. shayna will shake head if not nice..
 
jeni,

I think for pigeon, the clear bottles are not BPA free. Those bottles which are slightly tinted are BPA free ... if i remember correctly.
 
sbb,

circumsized for personal hygiene purpose. cos i've seen children who don't know how to pull the foreskin to wash their penis clean then got infections which is worse. and if they do it at an older age, it's going to be even more painful cos they already understand what is pain etc. so i insisted to do it for my boy. i told my hb unless he's going to wash for my son every time he bathes till quite big, i'm going ahead.
 
thanks pegsfur....ya just check website..polycarbonate is BPA..alamak...i forgot to check for the BPA free label..haiya..buy wrongly liao from robinson sale on wed..wonder if can go back exchange.or refund hor
 
Jeni, the bpa free ones are the yellow cap ones. All the rest and not bpa free. Yes, u can bring them back for exchange or refund.
 
SBB

Sam's also very tao. Aws ignores me, esp if i'm trying to tell him not to do spmething haha

Yeah they're really like sponge these days. Sam's being surprising me with new words everyday. Over the past week, i've heard radio, vacuum, biscuit, gorgor, chair, light, stuck!

JACQUELINE

Er.. I still wash sam's hair like a baby. I wet his hair with the washcloth, soap it, wipe off a few times with the washcloth, then carry him to rinse off. He refuses to let me wash hair any other way! In fact he refuses to sit in the bathtub hiaz

Sam has been using pillow since 12 mths, if i rem correctly. Or maybe it was earlier? He likes to sleep with his head on it.

Fatbobo

I think so long as u store properly, it's ok if overnight.

I've been giving biscuits, cheerios, honey stars for breakfast. Milk less though coz I give milk in the bottle. I tried giving her cakes, chee chiong fun, carrot cake but she spit them out. Doesn't like bread too.

U can give pancakes or waffles too? I tried waffles once for h. Response is so so only.
 
Have u gals started toilet training? I was very fed up with cleaning up last week becoz of her freq loose stools so I put her on the toilet bowl. She has seen her bro on it before with a book. So she was rather receptive abt it compared to the potty. Gave her a book and she happily sat on it altho first time still needed some coaxing. She has been able to poop in it and yesterday did her biz twice there. So happy. Then today, she indicated that she wanted to go toilet and indeed she poop again there.
happy.gif


it's so much easier compared to her bro. Her bro was only toilet trained at 3.5. Hopefully she can be toilet trained by the time she is 2 years old.
 
hi mummies, need some quick advice.

we're going for a short trip (5D4N) and i'll be bringing a small slow cooker there. my girl doesn't really take outside food well so i decided to cook porridge for her. i bought some bottled heinz food to go with the porridge. was thinking of what else i can bring/cook there?

any suggestions pls? i may not have access to a fridge for the first few hours so freezing is out of question
sad.gif
 
fatbobo,
i give my boy 3pcs w/o the cai por...

pegsfur, fatbobo;
beside chwee kway, i also give chee choing fan, pcs of plain/egg prata, noodle(bee tai bah) for his breakfast...
 

Deebee

can bring carrots and some veg? Carrots no need freezing. Or dried gou qi, mushrooms, scallops. But u better check the customs if they allow u to bring produce. Some are rather strict abt it.
