Advice on bringing baby overseas required. Need to get travel bathtub? Will they outgrow this quickly? I am wondering whether or not to invest in one of these.
I was going to stay late in the office to work today, but my husband called me to say that Amelie wouldn't sleep. Last time I came home late the same thing happened. She cried very loudly. He suspects that I am her sleep trigger. Maybe cos I did sleep training so when she sees me, it's time to sleep! Aiyah, so odd. But it's kinda hard since my busy period is here.
Saw the purple inchworms on facebook. So cute! Wish A could have the oppy for art and craft too!
Re Marina Barrage: I may not be able to make it. Have to go to my sister's place that day and have a family meal. So maybe too tiring for A. But I look forward to other outings!

I would love to join on Friday. It's a Hari raya for me, but it would be fun to share the day with u all
YL approved already, so I hope everything goes well til Friday. Looking forward to meet u all very soon
funzee.. i would say travel bathtub not really neccessary if your hotel room has bathtub. I wanted to get 1 when i brought my girl for travel but in the end didn't, just fill the normal bath tub with not too much water so you can squat inside it to bath your babe. if want, you might want to bring the non slip mat to put in the bathtub.
babytum, how about cheese cubes? some say to try the kiri cheese cuz it doesn't contain salt..

<font color="0000ff"><font color="ff0000">JG Classes</font>
My 1st son attended classes in JG and i tot they were pretty good, so i'm more inclined in letting Malcolm join their classes. Was thinking of attending the trial to see if he's ok with it first.
Would anybody be keen to join me at JG Evans for a trial?
I prefer Evans coz there's outdoor play. So they are not limited to just indoor playground but also sand play and waterplay depending on the play of the week.
But 1 thing, for JG Playnest (which our kids are suitable for now), their classes are only on weekdays, which can be quite inconvenient for working mummies. Unless u have external help or flexible work arrangements. I'm working for ILs so can bring their grandson for classes.. muahahha
<font color="ff0000">Cheese cubes</font>
Anyone tried The Laughing Cow cheese party cubes? It's not salted and v suitable for our lil' ones. My elder boy loves them and would request to eat about 3 per day. I'm thinking of purchasing them in bulk directly from distributor so it's cheaper.
But i alone cannot buy so much, hence wondering if any of u mummies here would be interested in sharing my order?
<font color="ff0000">On Bathing</font>
Malcolm no longer bathes in a bathtub coz too squeezy leh i find. So my maid just lets him sit on the floor, shower for him, den after tat rinse off his butt, n he's done.
So funzee, i think since our bubs are already coming to 1y/o, no pt investing in another bathtub, UNLESS, u gonna have another lil' one

funzee > I was also thinking of the bathing issue for a trip that has yet to materialise (argh)..i bathe dre in my home's bathtub but what i do is to get the really long non-slip mat from The First Years...so it covers the drainage hole (fiddly-fingers-proofed) and it's a length that can tolerate quite abit of movement in a regular bathtub. You can consider something like a non-slip mat? That way, it's easier to dry when you're travelling and u can easily adapt it for hygienic use across bathtubs, shower stalls etc? Have fun with your travels!!

Gal and Ginger: We had fun too! Actually I think the fun bit was catching up with you girls! Hahahah...the bubs were just doing their own thing!
Esther: Are you on FB? I want to tag you!
Re: JG
I want!!! Hahah....but heard must be on waiting list. ilovemaxmax, did you wait long on waiting list? Problem is I need to roughly know how long I have to wait because I will have to be the one to bring her there. And my EDD is end of Jan so it's really either before I popped (as in now!) or after my confinement which is in March! By then, I think she will not be in the playnest group.

angelina > the routine at playnest is like this:
greeting & freeplay ~ 10mins
welcome songs ~ abt 3 songs
story time / puppet ~ 1 story
wash up & organic snack (happy bellies and healthy times bites all the way)
outdoor freeplay (for forum, it's an outdoor play area. contrary to popular belief that forum does not have waterplay, it does. get ready for the super messy "fun" like GUG that miemie finds horrifying *siams mie*..in our time there..this changes every week. Dre absolutely HATES this. same here )
goodbye dance & songs with lots of lots of super bubbles (thru'out term, this segment was the same)
so yes, some parts, need to carry the baby, dance and be a monkey...haha.
tien > playclub lagi long queue. the time we were there...dre was already placed on the waiting list...but i have since withdrew her name. in the playnest group, we had 2yo with us cos there was simply no space in playclub O_O...straightaway put yr name for chiltern house better.. wahaha..

Xoxo: I was thinking of putting name straight on chitern house hahahhaha...thinking alike sia! Esp since there's one at ECP! Whoaaaaa....
And the part on having grandma and helpers is out of the question. My mum already volunteered OUT! Only hope is after my ML. Maybe the waiting list is long enough to wait till then for Playclub. But that one is without parent's company?
Apparently, there's once a week prog for them. Too lazy to call hahaha...maybe shld just sign with GUG for the fun of it for now...

Shugar the collage is so pretty.. Upset that I missed the boat to inclue my boy photo hehe. Seldom have chance to log into PC to do that. I m totally reliant on iPhone for Internet access these days.
Ting: totally agree that cakes are expensive. I hav yet to book for my end of mth party too!! Heard frm fren ecreaive and pine garden may have cheaper tasty buttercream cakes. But if we want anything fondant or customized, be prepared to spend!!

shugar: thx for the lovely collage!
astro: so u use mild cheddar for baked dishes? wat brand is that? wat type of cheese do u use for pasta? recipe says grated cheddar cheese but i can only find processed cheddar cheese in the supermarket which i believe is not suitable for babies.

re: birthday cake
Ting>> try Pine Garden. Per kg premium cake about $36 (depends on the choosen flavour). They also allow you to choose 2 flavours if you opt for a 2-Tier cake (min. 2kg needed). add $25 for the artistic work (forgot the actual term they used, but its the cost for decorating the cake). Add another $15 for delivery charge if needed. There are quite a number of designs to choose from. But you might need to provide your own cake toppers (+ candle) for some chosen theme.
This should be within the budget you set. And the lady boss taking order is very friendly.

re: Kindermusik Trial
mummies, please note the following from KM admin:
1) It is compulsory for adults to wear socks in the class.
2) It is optional for the babies to wear socks but wear something comfortable as our air-conditioner is centralized and sometimes the class is cold.
I've requested to allow 2 adults into the class since this is a private trail and here's their reply
Our company policy is only one accompany adult, you can take pictures before the class starts or from outside as the class room door is a glass door.
If both mommy and daddy go to the class, the baby might be distracted.
Regarding payment, no worries, you can pass to me on the trial date itself. Vin & PY, you can pass to me too.
