natmummy, joy747, yes, her wound more or less ok liao... thanks for asking...
in fact, she did something quite funny with regards to her wound... when i try to go near her wound, i.e. her knee, she would shake her head like don't want me to go hear... and would use her pants (she sometimes wear 3/4 pants at home) and try to cover up her knee whenever she is sitting... hehehe...
joy747, oh no, is your boy ok already? hope the redness has subsided? it's so near the eye, mayb using ice will help a little?
natmummy, think bella can walk pretty well, just that i find her very clumsy and careless, will always fall down one... and her speech like Nat, not much progress, she's still doing a lot of baby talk, a lot of the times i dun understand what she say...

Thanks for concern, he is much better now...
Plim. I think belle is progressing in speech, its just that you might not understand her lingo....
My son likes to parrot...that is follow the last few words that you said...unlike his sis. He will follow and say GOD BLESS YOU....when you said that after sneezing ...he will repeat after you when you tell him fall down, as in fall down....and ask what is this...though not very clear at times....

joy747, i think you might be right... Bella does 'speak' a lot! all in her own language... haha... she will take my mobile phone / house phone and start 'talking'/playing with it for as long as 15 mins... she will not 'say' or 'repeat' anything like what your boy does, but will sometimes listen intently on what you say, especially when it comes out a different tone...

Hi bleuz & ginsengmum

Bleuz, you be bringing kellis to GUG too?
Too bad that our classes are on different day, if not can meet up with you
Ginsengmum, my gal is into signing times too since about 7months... now she can sign many things too. Really a communication too.
Actually I also dunno what is zoophonics... must go to the GUG to see what it is actually about.

Yes, I like it when my girl calls me. But hor, she very cheeky, she will only call me if I offer her Pocky sticks (without chocolate type). She will call me "Ma4-Ma4".
Bleuz,
ST is really a good communication tools. Do you know the girl, Leah, in the show is Rachel's daughter? She is discovered deaf when she was a year old. So poor thing hor? She look so pretty and sweet.

Ginsengmum,
Yeh, must meet up with you one day
but I guess you will be busier after your No2 arrives.
My girl sometimes will confuse between Por Por (my mother), ma-ma and Dad-dy. She doesn't like to call Pa, she prefers to call "Daddy" which I find funny as "Daddy" is more difficult to pronounced.
Yesterday I asked her to call me, she said "duck". I nearly fainted.

Hi Plim
Actually not too late to learn signing now.. they can infact learn faster at this age. It is actually a programme to teach bb/tods signing language to learn how to communicate faster.
I started my girl with BB signing times as I find that she loves the songs and the cartoons.

Tomatoes,
So farnie.. Kellis used to point at us and calls us duck too. =) Not to worri, it'll pass soon.. hehehe...
Hi Plim,
I bought it from Fei Yue. Believe there's a local reseller now selling them but I can't recall the name. Can the other girls help?
Initially, we asked her to call my hubby's mum "ma ma" as well.. but I told hubby that she's sure to confuse that with mummy. So we now ask her to call her paternal grandma, "nai nai". Will probably ask her to change back to ma ma when she's older and know the difference.

Hi Plim
I also heard a lot of gd comments about GUG programme... But also heard the staff are arrogant also... GUG is at United Sq at Novena, and Busybuddies (BB) is at UE Sq at Clemenceu.
I am not sure what is the diff but agar now GUG using Zoophonics method (dunno what's that) and BB incorporate "play" and "art & craft" in their programme. I will feedback to you all about BB after I attend the trial class with my girl today

Actually I got 1 idea. I find that enrichment classs are all very costly... About $30+ per session... Then I thought why not we organise our own regular playgroup sessions. But this playgroup is not only for our kids to mingle, but also a learning session for them. Hence, we mummies can take turns to do story telling, sing-along-session, flashcards during the session, we can save lotsa of $.... Maybe what we teach won't be as good as professionals but it will be quite fun for mummies also to be a teacher for a day
If needed, we can contribute a little $ each to have a fund to improvise the session with new things if needed... Venue wise, we definitely need a function room or a mummy's house with big hall.
Just a thought only ;p
