hello mummies!!
GUG
its 1.5hrs (or was it 1.15hrs?)
songs, then more songs but need movement like walk jump, hop kind
then chinese lesson. teacher sing a song and have puppet play on that particular theme.
every lesson is on 1 alphabet. eg today is missy mouse, MMMMM, so everything is about mouse.
then got art/craft OR music room. kids love that part.
break 10mins, snack, washup
final part zoophonics, abit of montessori dramatics play about mouse, always got a plush toy of the animal on that day...then do the zoophonics chant, match alphabets via zoophonics way
finally byebye
that was during my #1's GUG 18mths
he was in GUG for 2 terms and he managed to pickup zoophonics from there completely
once a week, weekend. not cheap but my son liked it

My #1 enjoyed GUG, but the Suntec city branch is closed... still deciding which one to send #2 to, sian.
sinmey - i wish i am.. but that would probably mean raping my husband and demanding it. haha.. he said next year than start to try. so bo bian loh. everytime we pek chek looking after janelle, he will definitely bring out his old grandfather story and ask me "hai yao sheng #2 "? super piss with him!
Poky,
i also nvr put milk to shake leh .. only add cold water. actually add milk taste better, jz that i lazy to buy milk, plus i think drink too much milk will gain weight (i only like those full cream milk)
allets,
haha ... u can create 'accident' de .. haha .. by seducing him .. wakakaka

morning mummies...
just wondering, any of ur kids sleeps on same bed as you? my gal used to sleep on her own cot, now mattress on e floor. but recently, she seem to realise there r better 'spots' to sleep. Either with me, or squeeze in the middle with my parents. what should I do to kick her habit away huh? Or maybe, is it advisable to get a bed rail?
any advice pls?

Won mummy - Janelle sleeps in her cot side by side our bed. but i did not put up the bed rail so that she is free to roll to my side.. but so far she is pretty contented in her cot so even she roll over, just a bit nia.
but i do realised that getting her to sleep is super difficult lately. can pat her for almost close to an hour. and when weekends, she can nap for 1-2 hours and last the whole day.

I know I might come across as mean but my #1 we pat pat pat till WE fall asleep or arm cramp and then at 6 months we read that it's wrong to do so, so we reduce and then just sit by her bed till she falls asleep. #2 we hardly pat, maybe 2 mins to calm her down when she was very very young, never carry to sleep, I don't sit by her cot either. I fed her, burped her, sang one song, kissed her good nights and put her down, she might cry a little some night but after 5 days she cried cos I took too long to leave the room!
Now they both sleep together in their own room liao, no patting, either my husband or I will sit in the dark for 5 mins till #1 gets sleepy then we leave. It's AWESOME.
The only time they sleep with me is when they are sick, for 1 night and that's it. The husband will sleep on the sofa. #1 know she gets one night to manja if she's sick and that's it and she's gonna be reallllllly sick lah.
Point is - kids DO NOT NEED to pat, rocked nor carried to sleep. Seriously! They also don't need to sleep with you, if you want them to cos you want that close-ness, that's cool but you have to deal with it in the long run.

hihi... i also find that Chloe now needs to sleep on our bed before we move her to her cot. She use to sleep on her own in the cot. Perhaps it is us (the parents) who always take the easy way out by letting her sleep w us.
I'm also starting to 'train' her to sleep on her own in her room. Hope I will be successful then i can have my own room back! haaha
M, i ask you, did you use the baby monitor to 'hear/ see' what they are doing in the room? Or you just let them be?

I think different parents have different parenting style.. yes, i will definitely look forward to the day when Janelle can sleep on her own rather than monkey here and there now if we put her to lie in her cot.as for sleeping in her own room, probably a little longer. cos her room 2 rooms away from ours. i scared she middle of the night wakes up cant find us how.

Tres - I use the baby monitor, make sure they are okay and we have a camera in their room (cos of maid issues) and we check on them to make sure they are sleeping not playing... it happens esp during their afternoon nap, kinda funny, we watch for two minutes then open the door and tell them to sleep. #1 will jump to her bed and # 2 will quickly lie down and pretend to sleep 
.
Allets - my #1 is perfectly capable of opening her own door and our door but the funny thing is, if she needs something, she'll just sit on her bed and cry till one of us comes in.
I know parents have different ways of doing things, I guess I'm trying to say that it is possible and I do love my own bed and room back. My MIL always insist must carry to sleep, pat lah, rock lah, my own mum kinda as well but she accepted our methods more readily. I'm thankful that I was given the Baby Whisper book, it really was helpful.
That's it, my two cents [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

M - wow!! you r really steady!! how did you do that? i guess cos you have your own house, no grandparents heartpain to destruct ur plan? I tried to be firm most of e time, being e bad person. but she knows she have her 'support hill' to go to. eg my dad...haiz
allets - keep it up!! i think its tough to train them back to sleeping on themselves. so, pls let her stay in her cot and not put her in between ur hb n u.
tres & fel - yeah. me too...cos there were few nights in a row she keep waking at middle of e night. since she slept in my parents room, in order not to keep waking up, my parents put her in e middle w them. or sometimes, she wants me. so i carry her to my bed n sleep w me. n now, she dont like to sleep on her mattress alone anymore [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] seems like really our fault [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] taking the easy way out...jialat....
how to train them back to independent?

won_mummy,
more hard hearted and be more persistent? haha... but i think i'll give in if Jo cries a lot! thinking how to wean him off from pacifier. He needs it to fall asleep!
so far he has been on his own bed but once in a while i'll be too tired and sleep with him after his night feed... mine also no patting! just let him toss and turn and after a while he'll doze off to sleep...

last time kyler also sleep in his own cot and i use baby monitor to keep track. i also practice no patting no rocking.
but after kiefer come out, in order not to disrupt kyler zzz, so he shifted to sleep with me, and the dad sleep with kiefer in another room cos he was on permanent night duty.
i think i going to do some minor adjustment in their room 1st, always wanna do but its a big project. cos sure got to sacrifice a few days of sleep to adjust them.
but in the meantime, i think i better focus on my "quit pacifier project" first.
sometimes its like, after kiefer zzz, and i wanna spend some time with kyler, so its usually in our room. its been so routine, kindof get used to it..
sigh..

jaster - yes! to be more hard hearted n persistent. but cos if night time my bro or SIL (who is preg now) is at home, its difficult to force my gal to sleep on her own. she will scream till whole blk ppl wake up. thats y we keep giving in to her till she now prefers co-sleeping. jialat.

haha... i should tell my hubby to doll up J's room and learn to be a hard hearted mummy. maybe shall let her sleep in her distant bedroom soon..
everynite J will have her last feed at 9.30pm, than hubby or myself will carry and pat lightly, hoping she can go to zzzz land by 10pm where we get to do our own things. maybe we dont have the patience to let her roll and play and drift off to lala land on her own ba. cos that would mean maybe by 11pm this monkey still not asleep.
parenting style are really different!! buay tahan mil .. she is pampering J like nobody business. drink milk, eat porridge need to go downstairs de. biang! weekend i dont care, you want to eat you eat, dont want, i can dump the whole bowl away. i am not going to bring you downstairs just to have your meals!
mummies - in july i have a 9 days break from work cos mil travelling. hb and i thought of bringing j for a short short trip, any suggestions ? hopefully not too ex de cos we might be going taiwan wiht the rest of my family in oct. but i dont want to stay and waste my leave in jul. any suggestion where i can go ?

actually i thought of just finding a place to laze around.. but lazing in RWS for 2 days or more is very ex and not worth.
