mira, crack an egg in a bowl, add some milk, pepper, then add grated cheddar cheese. whisk all the ingredients up till all mixed up... then heat up butter in non-stick pan... pour the content in the pan... wait awhile before scrambling the egg... once it is cooked, removed from the pan... dun over cooked because the scrambled eggs will be too dry... it should be cooked and moist... can eat on its own or bread or crackers whichever your child's like it...
oh yeah another breakfast idea will be banana pancake... the recipe is in my blog

Halo! I'm a Woodlands mommy too!
Just want to check if any working mommies are interested in taking private minibus/coach for below route & timing?
1. Monday - Friday 8.15am pickup - Trip from Admiralty to Raffles Place
Should reach Raffles Place by 9am based on normal traffic conditions.
Buses used are recent 13-seater minibuses/coaches such as Mercz and Toyota Hi-ace.
I'm so sick of squeezing in the train and taxi fares are getting too expensive, so I've got a quote from a transport coy for each trip at $900 per month, which calculates to approx $70/pax or $3.50/trip.
Return route is available for a separate charge:
2. Monday - Friday 6.30pm pickup - Trip from Raffles Place to Admiralty - also at $900 per month.
If we get 13 pax for each trip, we can start taking the transport from April. |

becky_cat - i c. i understand from some of the dec 08 mums that they just give 10ml... some do it in between feeds, some only give after bath.
water seems v tricky thing everyone has different opinion of it. btw, the telon oil is not bad, find that it does help him burp faster. bought two bottles fr woodlands old central, 1 passed to nanny. thanks for intro me the oil.

I can start the cls once we hv the nos.
Many Thanks! |

finally, come out with a list.
Can't recall which organisers are good as i hardly join now. Used to be crazy when i just registered with SMH. Nowadays, the BP price are not attractive at all. |

Wow lynzi. Long time didn't hear from you. Yep, change my nick.
Which kindermusik did faiq attend? Tanglin?
The fee for zoophonics is $130 for a month. You need to put $120 for deposit and it is refundable. Age group is from 18mths to 30mths.
Will let you know how it goes when my girl starts her class this Sat. |

sure. LNT's program is different from GUG's. I think ZooPhonics's program is similar to GUG's when i look at their website. In fact GUG is using ZooPhonics materials, how irony!
LNT's program is more about challenging your brain to think. Also, a lot of hand eye co-ordination activities. |

Btw, my girl, who is 21mths+, can now recognise and say most of the letters from A to Z (R & W are still a challenge). She is also able to recognise and say some numbers from 1 to 10.
Is this a normal development for her age? My colleague whose kid is a year older than my girl, said that my girl is really good lor becos her kid still not able to.
Is it true?? |

Got my answer liao....
Expert Answers
Judith Hudson, developmental psychologist
Most children begin recognizing some letters between the ages of 2 and 3 and can identify most letters between 4 and 5. This means that you can start teaching your child the alphabet when he's around 2 — but don't expect full mastery for some time. What's more, toddlers learn differently from older children, so don't pull out the flashcards and audiotapes just yet. Instead, rely on visual aids such as colorful alphabet picture books — your child will have a great time pointing out the letters he knows, as well as colors, shapes, animals, and other objects in the book.
The first step in teaching the alphabet is getting your child interested in listening to stories. At around age 2 or 3, children who are frequently read to get the idea that books contain print, which is made up of letters.
There are lots of fun ways to introduce your child to individual letters. Sign his name to his artwork, then point out each letter one by one. Eventually he'll get the idea that those letters, put together, stand for his name. You can reinforce this identification in many ways: Alphabet letters forming his name on the door of his room, perhaps, or a toy or puzzle personalized with his name. Or help him play with alphabet puzzles or refrigerator magnets that he can manipulate. Once he recognizes a letter, play word games — "What words start with 'B'? Ball, baby, boy ..." or use the first letter of his name as the starting point — "Your special letter is 'P,' for Peter; can you think of any other 'P' words?" (Your child won't be able to write letters until he's about 4, so don't focus on teaching him to write until then.)
If he seems interested, feel free to continue helping your child learn more letters. But if he's under 4 and shows no interest, it's best to let it go for a while. No evidence suggests that very early alphabet learning is related to more advanced reading skills later on. |

Morning mummies.
Hi lynzi,
ZooPhonics' program is indeed very similar to GUG - music, art + phonics. One thing is that the educator will show and explain the action of zoophonics to us parents. Wait until my girl turns 30mths. They will concentrate more on vowels and consonants then.
Their fee is definately cheaper than GUG. I would say GUG has nicer facilities....their place is not that messy. But, i think i will stick with ZooPhonics. The educator is ok lah. |

Waited for her for 25mins. Purposely went to the office today for this meet up. Very sad and disappointed lor. |

As for Zoophonics, i think there is no trial class. Fees are $20 for one-time registration, $120 for deposit (refundable), $20 per session (duration 1hr). I paid $200 for this month for 3 sessions as the educator is going for holiday next Saturday. |

Hey wendy, I saw your thread you started in the Free Item section, complaining about Chloe Oh. Then I wonder why I have not been receiving emails from this thread again so come in and see see look look. I almost lost this thread again. *Signz*
BTW, why do you change your nick to such a long name yar? Prefer to call you Wendy leh if you don't mind. BTW, how much are you selling your wipes? If they are cheaper than outside, I am keen to buy from you. Need to stock up some before my newborn is out in 2 mths time. Are the wipes going to expire soon? Please pm me to discuss can?
Time really flies, man!! I have mixed feeling - dread to go through the robotic sleeples life but happy to know my 2nd one is coming out soon to join our family.
becky_cat (becky_cat), how is your outing organised so far? Did you all have alot of fun? |

Hi clovy
long time didnt hear from you yah. When is your second one due? Aiyah....don't know why all of a sudden i feel like changing my nick lor. You can still call me Wendy - no prob.
The Pigeon wipes (3-in-1 pack x 2) have not expired yet. I forgot the date of expiry liao becos i left them in my office and lazy to lug them back lor. I can sell you at $15 (cheaper than outside and i am not making a profit). Throwing in Kodomo wipes (not sure of the expiry becos can't find) and Johnson and Johnson pink wipes box FOC. PM me if you are interested. FYI, i bought a whole carton of Pigeon wipes from Shopbug that time becos they are selling slightly cheaper than department stores. |

Wendy, Can the pigeon wipes used in the J&J pink wipes box? I'm interested but need to know the expiry dates. I'm due in May. If the wipes are going to expire this year, I may not be able to finish them all.
Juzyounme (juzyounme), I read abit on the thread on top. How do you feel going back to work? Welcome back to the workforce! |

i'm v v upset. I started off with a babysitter next blk since last Mon, 2 March. Everything was fine last week. but last 2 days baby has been cranky whole day & babysitter said she doesn't want to take care. have to discuss with my boss whether can shift my working timing earlier so that I can get him into infantcare centre... and also whether i can utilise one week of my maternity leave for the transition period. Sigh. |

How many years of experience does the babystitter has? Did you do a bodily check on your baby?
The cheapest infantcare ctr is Global....(sth), the one near my block. The rest are expensive. |
