Just Faith,
I need to provide 4 names and contact to Julia Gabriel to enjoy the group discount.
No need to go down for registeration together. No need to choose the same playgroup, week and time also.
Now, beside Gan, you and me, we still lack of one to enjoy the 20% discount.
Anyone interested to form a group of 4 to enjoy 20% group discount????

Happy hippo, my kiddos does that too. They will throw and loudly tell me " throw!!" in mandarin. It's a phase I feel. They just wanna see the reaction and effects of throwing.
I treat it as a game with them. After they throw I will say "pick it up" .. They also follow and happily run over pick up the items. After that I say "let's keep!!" .. They will do the same too..
I find it hard to "teach" the proper way. If I do it like playing a game they all wanna "play"...

Now is the age they start to understand but still can't tell what's right or wrong. Many things to them is like a science experiment. Sometimes I find the more we try to stop them the more they wanna do it. So long as they don't endanger themselves or each other, I let them "try".. After a while they get bored and stop doing it. That's how handle my trio lah. Otherwise v v tiring whole day trying to stop them from doing "wrong" things.

throwing things is very common. they learn cause n effect. if its harmless toys during playing I usually just let them be. but after playing I will get them to keep the toys n usually show by example by keep together with them. n making it a game like who can keep the fastest etc
if its really something I don't want them to do like throwing utensils off the dining table. then I teach consequences. I remove the item n say firmly no throwing or mummy will keep. of cos they will eh eh make noise n insist on getting the item back. I will give it back n say no throwing or mummy will take it away. n I keep repeating n repeating, confiscating n giving back until they learn.
kids r kids n will tend to forgot the next time round. that's y we hv to keep repeating n reinforcing. everything takes double time to get done but it's a necessary leaning process to ge them to learn rather than doing everything for them. that also y mummies become naggy

i wish there was a website to check too!
I usually look out on newspapers, hear from other mummy friends n regularly check the sistic website. a lot of these activities r during the sch hols so I zoom in on those periods on the sistic website.
some blogs also compile lists of upcoming activities.
cheekiemonkies.net is a good one

i didnt buy the sso babies prom ticket, coz we are thinking of short trip or staycation that wkend. so didnt buy in case cant make it.
also i had a look at the seats, really not many good ones left. i think all the good ones taken up by 'frds of SSO' coz they can book 1 wk earlier before public sale started.
how's grace doing? you managed to transition to full day yet?

Happy my seats are no good too but I figured since it is more for music not so much of performance, I didn't bother.
Where are u going for staycation? We planned one in the middle of dec.
Grace doing 1/2 day now till end of the year. She is doing ok in school but was down with flu, high fever for 2 weeks. Just returned to school this Monday. We missed her school field trip to snow city. N I have already laid $50..=( no refund.
I am shifting nearer to your area soon. How is ur boy?

Mummies,
Normally when your kids start having fever, do you bring to doctor immediately or self medicate? My kids started coughing at night for past 2 nights, a bit of running nose and then last night, started to have low grade fever. I am giving them Aerius for cold, Prospan for cough and panadol to control the fever. How long should I observe before bringing to doc? The fever seems to have gone off with the meds.
Btw, I noticed that when they are sick with cough/cold, they don't have much symptoms during the day, but when they sleep at night, they start to have blocked nose and cough more. They also ALWAYS end up vomitting during their sleep. As in, they will cough cough then suddenly sit up in their bed, and then in 1/2 minute, will sure vomit out. Sometimes can be 2 times during the night. Then next day, they are back to normal, hardly cough in the day. Any of your kids like that too? I guess they vomit because in sleeping position, the phlegm backflow and cause itchy throat and then they cannot cough it out so they end up vomitting?

Gan,
Has Grace been falling sick frequently since going to school? I'm beginning to worry now, the twins will start school in Oct. 3x a week, half day. Now when they fall sick, sure both will kena, so tiring to take care of 2 sick kids
Haiz.... I'm thinking they will surely fall sick more in school... cuz now they sit at home whole day, only go out weekend also can manage to fall sick...

if its flu symptoms or just fever I usually self medicate first. if fever still high after 4-5 days I will bring to dr. if cough doesn't recover after 2 weeks I will also bring to dr.
usually cough is worse at night cos of mucus backflow. my girls also cough n vomit at night. lexie only recently stopped, I guess cos she's older now.
I find prospan very mild n not effective. I use rhinathiol plain for phlegm, ventolin for chesty cough n Zyrtec for the runny nose. Zyrtec n aerius are the same category. prospan n rhinathiol r the same category
if yr kids hv the tendency to vomit from coughing, they could hv sensitive airways. need to be careful as it can easily lead to bronchitis or asthma. u may want to talk to yr pd abt a long term management plan as well

Working wife yes grace has on average fall sick every 2 week since starting Childcare. The last one was the worst as her fever went up 40 and she had fever
For almost 1 week.
Mine also cough more at night. Usually if fever more than 1 day after taking panadol I wld take her to see dr. The last round we went to dr 5 times within 2 weeks. =S

is your work abit more relax in dec? when grace move from half day to full day, it will be another round of transition for her. i remember u mentioned she cried for you when u tried full day one of the days? so at the start u may hv to pick her up earlier, maybe 3/4 day, after nap time, etc. so just thot if dec is generally more holiday mood in office, maybe u shd start grace full day in dec, so that if need to pick grace earlier, easier for you to sneak out of office ...heheheh

I upgraded #1 at 3+ almost 4 when #2 took over her car seat. high back boosters r safer n there's a 15kg requrement. they hv to be a certain height too as regular seatbelt is used and is less adjustable.
actually there's no need to hurry to upgrade to booster unless they've outgrown their car seat. car seat is still safer.

Grumpus, I also prefer her Aprica car seat. But problem is the harness is getting tight for her. She always struggles to put the harness over her shoulder. The harness is already at its maximum length. She's only 12kg and 90cm... Think I have to source for alternative car seat. The booster don't look very safe for a 21 month old.
