The zoo lady even say must be able to do letter blending all tt then I ralised I really too lax at home! Keep saying wanna do bt get lazy! Hee.. I knw impt for meto do coz he not gg sch but too lazy n he also cannot sit still! N he cannot read even basic words lor! But I guess if go canossian it wun matter as they no curr so he wun feel too lousy abt himself as compared to Zoo where all e kids can do the stuff if wat the lady says is true lah!
 
Cannot believe a month flew by like tt! Din even get to do anything much! Sighs.. Back to work nxt wed n no break till dec 25! Their sch terms are really loony compared to spore sch terms
 
crystal,
maybe take those of our kids who goes to school for instance, or those kids who attend full day child care.
cos they are in school most of the time, so acadamic and play are rather equal bah.
since they spent most of their time in school, generally most of them can write and and all.
 
crystal,
ya hor, it seem like you jsut mentioned that your one mth school holiday just started and now you telling us you gg back to work next week.

thinking back, i dunno what i have done for the past few weeks. it jsut pass by like dat.
 
linda- yup we also dun use the word stupid. too strong a word liao. reali true tat being a parent nwaday is not easy!

crystal- since alrdy paid, dun tink too much lah =) so when they startin sch?
i look at avril thn realise time reali flies!! everyday in n out busy w them n wrkg.. weeks lidat jus passed so quickly
 
Linda - I guess I dun feel tt Isaiah is tt lousy tt he cannot catch up nursery work but tt lady made it sound so scary! My neighbour's gal is 1 mth younger than cait bt can read basic words n know a lot a lot if stuff.. I know cannot compare but somehow see all these kids make me stressed! Her mum do a lot with her n is full time working mum lor.. Mk me so guilty!
 
hello all, finally log in aft comin back fr turkey.

crystal, wah, really fast hor, ur hols gg to end soon.

why they always make it sound so scary? now make me think i muz really train megan at home?
seems like sg education is really super stressful.
 
crystal,
i totally agree that we will sure compare kids to kids especially same age group.
you already said that your neighbour is full time housewife loh, you working leh, how to have the energy to focus to tell your kids.

my friend, when her son is 6 mths old, she quit her job and take care of the boy.
now the boy is 20 mths, she enrol him to MMI ccc.
i ask her if the school is good, she told me that when she is at home full time taking care of her son, she taught her a lot and she cant see any improvement result as yet.
so if you in general, if you compare working mummy to full time mummy there is a world of diffenent de.
 
Newbbi, ya lor, easier to post on Fb than blog coz too slow. hehe...
Megan really enjoyed herself on the trip. No regrets bringing her along. She can really walk alot. even the day tour guide was super impressed with her. we hardly used the stroller. so in a way we were blessed and lucky, no need to carry her much.

crystal, GD was a while ago liao, now my cards also white elephant. but i dun see her learning to read yet leh coz i didnt complete the whole series.
 
Linda - she not housewife! She full time working mum! N she makes own flashcard etc! Thinkni just lazy.. Hee.. Always tell kids to play play play so I can rest! Hee
 
crystal, yup on npl liao, so thankful esp when my colleagues are all complaining away at sch.

hee, ttc maybe as well, since no stress from sch. hopefully can strike again. :p
 
hi pierce,
can tell that you all enjoyed the trip to turkey.
i shd agree with you that sg education is really very stressful and plus parents also super KS and stressful.

i think i consider myself as one KS parents bah.
hee...
last week happen to look thro one K1 maths assessment book and bot her inez to do. hahahahah...
 
Pierced - bt u guys bring her swim, walk etc.. All good for her devt! Well rounded n you're lucky she can walk a lot lor! N I see u do Activities like painting etc with her.. I hink gd enuff! Maybe I hv 2 too close in age, whole day like just askg them to stop fighig etc! Haha
 
Linda, hee, any holiday is good.
I also dunno whether to be KS or not, is it going to be better for the kid or not?
But K1 assess is not as bad right? mainly numbers and letters or is it more?
I afraid next yr when I send Megan to Nursery she will be one of the last ones liao. My hubby thinks should not stress her and wait till pri sch only. He say let her play and enjoy her childhood first.
 
crystal, haha, so cute, u mean caitlyn will fight with her gor gor now? hopefully all these will help her. Academic I didnt do much. i try printing out colouring sheets and things for her to do she dun want to do! I think she also short attention span next time.
 
crystal,
oops... i see wrongly...
erm.... if i were you i will be very stress also.
one of my coll also like your neighbour. very hardworking. work till 9+ go home still teach her son.
her son at he age of 2 can recongise and all the alphbets and 3 year old can write, now at K1 she is teaching him simple multiplcation leow.
she also give him spelling every night. now he has a vocab of more than 100 words. i super stress loh.
 
pierced,
actually some are a bit difficut for her, but counting and cicling the correct number she can loh.
also got tracing number. i ask her to do loh.
now she can write few numbers and alphabets with out us helping.
i actually din want to stress inez, but now she dun like to play toys, when she reached home from school, she will take out her colouring books or those books like got sticker and tracing kind to scribble and all, so i take the chance to assist and teach her loh.
i give her spelling also, but so far only 5 words and every night before sleep ask he to spell loh... also just started to teach her simple addition. my hb said i super KS and stressful. but i see inez enjoying the process, so i just teach loh.

inez also got very short attention span, so we bot a lot of puzzle for her to train her patience. hahhaha...
 
Pierced - whole day fight over toys etc.. Rite from e beginning lor! Wahahaha.. N both can tok too well Liao! Only thing they r good at! Wahahha

Linda - dun stress me! Hee.. But my qn is is it really so impt? I still feel intelligence is inborn, or is tt coz I lazy n givin myself excuse? Hee
 
pierced,
its my coll.
ya.. when she told me that i goes wow... you stress your son leh. she stress me to teach inez also and teach me how to teach... i learn from her on how to teach loh.
 
crystal,
i shd think if your 2 kids are good at speech and motor skills not as good, its not really a problem.
cos when they go school very naturally they will know one.
although i teaches inez, but her speech is not clear sometimes, which is the thing i worries also. also studies shows that in general, gals have better motors skills compared to boys.
even inez teacher also told me that cos my friend also worries her son can hold a pencil well and he cannot relate things to her.
but teacher said that its very natural.
so you see, not necessary that you go school early 100% of them can write and talk well.
 
crystal, haha, but got adv when they are close in age as well la. Megan can tok very well too, now driving me crazy esp with all her "W" qn. why this, what is this, where are we going, etc...
this is the typical gg to turn 3 phase is it?

and she is really rebellious now leh, everything is "dun want", and she will try her best to scream and cry... wah...can drive u mad...
 
pierced,
inez also same with all the "W" Qn, is never ending. can make you pull hair!

i think your megan cannot fight with my inez.
ytd teacher just called and complaint to me that she kick one of the classmate water bottle for no reason. after being scolded, next moment, she turn and kick another classmate leg.
then on and off, when teacher is not looking, she will beat/hit/pinch her classmates.

ask her y she kick her friend water bottle and kick another friend, she can tell she dun like them. ask y she dun like them, she tell me loud, "BECAUSE I DUN LIKE THEM MUMMY"!
faintz... everytime see my phone, if its school, i will get heart attack... cos usually either inez not well or she bully her classmate.
one thing bad abt gg to school early, learn all the bad things also.
 
Linda - keke.. Think I really lousy compared to u n ur coll..

Pieced - hee.. Terrible 2s lah.. Ur Megan is dec bb rite.. Only a few months olde than cait! Hee.. Can ask why etc is v gd at her stage since technically only 2.5 yr old! But tough to answer n sometimes I just do e big no-no thing of sayg pls stop askign! Haha
 
crystal,
dun compare lah, cos you got 2 kids leh. i only got one, so i got more time to concentrate.
i think if i got 2 close age kiddos, i will not be so hardworking leow.
sometime i really salute you all with 2 close age kiddos leh, not easy loh.

who knows when isaiah start school next year, in no time he can catch up with all our kiddo who attend school earlier than him leh.
dun be too stressful lah.
i always believe everyone got their own capability.
 
Linda - I hv a lot of help at home tt's y can manage but somehow always feel i shortchange them as cannot give them tt kind of attn? Hee.. But ok lah, I say I stressed but usuall I say finish Liao I feel ok! Hee.. Just need to express out I guess?
 
Morning all.. Last few days of my hols! Urghz

cannot believe I back at work nxt wed Liao

wat plans for this weekend? Anything interesting happening?
 
crystal.. u r so early!.. tks for the gift, ryan was playing wif it yestday nite wif his half open eyes.. haha..

will b at vivo tmr.. bringing ryan for haircut
 
morning ladies,
crystal you are so early.

tml planning to bring inez to my hb's fire station. cos every sat, all fire station are open to public from 9 to 12pm.
if not, will be gg to pasir ris park if the weather is good.
 
I everyday also must so early wake up lor! Haha

Cindy - glad he liked it! Was worried he wldn't.. Did he sleep early last nite?

Linda - oic.. I brot Isaiah to cclementi fire station b4 also.. Which fire station is ur hb at?
 
crystal,
wow... so far only if i am at home with inez, she wake up after 8 or 9am.
she needs 10 to 12 hours of sleep. hee...

my hb is at tampines fire station.
 
Linda - my kids generally up by 730, v rarely will be 8 or after 8.. Hee.. So holidays also must wake up early! But they sleep ard 9 las time.. Nw starting to sleep ard 930 - 10 but still wake up early!
 
crystal,
they are your alarm clock.
inez usually sleep at 9.30 during weekdays.
morning when i clean and change her, she still sleeping.
sometime if too tired, she will sleep till reached school then i wake her up.

so whatever time she sleep, 10 or 12 hours later, she will wake up. quite standard also lah.
 
Linda - actually Isaiah v poor thing.. Until today din sleep well at nite.. Whole nite scratching away coz of his eczema
sad.gif
i feel tt is part of e reason y he sometimes v grumpy n cannot focus coz dun get gd rest at nte
 
crystal,
oic.. his eczema still so bad?
none of the cream that you apply for him works?

i think so too.
cos if inez not enuf sleep, she will be very irritate by the slightest thing.
that's what the teacher told me whenever she beat her friend or throw tantrum for no reason.
 
Linda - yup, still v bad.. Actually got 1 period of time he hadt to eat some medication for e itch that helped e itch but he became v irritable and grumpy coz of e side effect of e med so we decided to stop lor.. Felt tt its side effect not good
 
crystal,
oic...
poor thing! must be very itchy for him.
is there any other method beside a lot of moisturizer and medication?
 
Linda - I guess we can let him tk e allergy test but I think quite painful and may nt be conclusive so we decided to wait till he is slightly older lor
 
crystal,
i went for the allergy test 2 mths ago cos i have blocked and running nose for near to 2 mths continuously.
the allergy test is a bit painful. but i hear from my coll that there is 2 types of allergy.
1 is plunk type which i did, the other type is to paste a patch on the back, then go back after 1 week to see what are you allegy to.
maybe you ca ask your pd or skin centre for advice.
i used to have very bad eczema also.
since young till when i start to work. then i once scratch till bleeding here and there. so went to skin centre to see doc.
doc give medication and tell me what cream and bath cleanser to use. the cream and cleaner i used is cetaphil. i apply the cream everytime i bath for 3 continuous years and finally it clear off.
 
Morning all

Linda - thanks for sharing.. Pd said allergy test will be painful n a bit traumatic for kids so we decide to wait lor..

Gals, I bumped into Daphne on Saturday and we were wondering abt our gathering! Hee.. Wld u gals pref a mummies dinner or a family gatehring? But if bringing kids along we sld try to avoid crowded areas becoz of hfmd rite? So play gyms etc are out.. wat do u gals think? We haven't met up in awhile!
