serendipity, hopes dyl will feel much better soon, it's really very painful...my boy has 8 teeth now and still drooling like mad. For him, 2 teeth appear at the same time everytime...really had to endure his crankiness for quite some time...
MT, she will walk when she is ready, trust me...and please, even when she knows how to walk, she will want to be carried as well. My boy also 11kg plus, every morning i carry him and walk to his centre 15mins. After work fetch him, he clings to me like koala bear. Still carry carry carry...Know how to walk also no use!
Xihui, Bata has nice shoes for kids but the sizes are quite limited. But more variety for gals...Now my boy wearing sandals bought from bata, cos i have yet to buy new covered shoes for him. His current bata covered shoes cannot wear liao. At least the sandals are more flexible, still can fit
Joelle, think our LOs can be friends. I've whacked my boy don't know how many times already. Until his buttocks red red. You might wish to read up on handling tantrums and difficult children. I nearly cried when i read the article sent to me from my bestie. Cos really no one will understand what it's like to face a difficult child day in day out unless they kenna before also. We have to stay calm but i know it can be really difficult...A few times, i was totally blinded by anger i took his bolster and whacked his buttocks nonstop for quite a few minutes until he started to choke on his tears. That's when i knew i needed to seek help...Talking to friends help, at least for me. Everytime after a hard whacking session, my boy will be so tired from crying he will fall asleep and i will break down and cry. Maybe you can PM me your email. I can send a link to you, for reading...
jmmabb, actually my boy doesn't really pronounce words very well either. My mum said i didn't utter a single sound until i turned 2 and she didn't bother also lar, cos she just gave birth to my younger brother so she no time to monitor my progress
My boy is in ifc too but i feel him being in ifc helps. He's really into music nowadays, thou he's not so kiang like the rest. He still didnt attempt to call ah kong or ah ma as well. Only daddy or mama. Don't worry ok? You could ask the PD when she goes for the jab at 15 months...same as you, i take care of my boy after ifc hours. No help at all. It's really very tiring and i don't have the energy to do much else after bathing and feeding him. I try to read to him but most of the time, we just sort of keep each other company or me trying to keep him from destroying the house. I have no time nor energy to flash cards at him, teach him don't know what sign language etc. I like giving him mahjong paper and highlighters. A few times, i pour baby power into bowls, give him spoon and he can play with that for quite long, like 20mins. Till now, he still prefers to tear books than flip it
No worries about her being 'slow'...Alot of people say gals develop faster but i don't think it's true, it all depends because all kids are different. As long as your gal is healthy, can understand you, respond to you, shows interest, she is fine [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Pris, my boy is going for his MMR & chicken pox in 3 weeks' time. I will give him, no choice...he goes ifc he must take.
