calamari and koori, can share what pedipeds design your gals wearing? maybe the stiffness of the leather depends on design? Adel's is pdipeds originals Abigail-Pink and the leather is really stiff lor.. i do remember some of the designs have softer leather but ku-ku me went more for looks the last time, though expensive shoes for toddlers sure no problem.. Who knows..
Me thinkng of getting pediped flex, but didn't really check it out at Metro the last time when I bought my pair, so dunno if flex is better?

Violet : Congrats ! Found your job already ! I'm still playing the waiting game ... ...
Think gonna pay the career fair a visit this sat.
vonvon: They do serve plain porridge in the Mediterrean cafe. I gave X porridge an cornflakes from there.
Not much issue for their food. Maybe you can just standby pigeon instant food or grab some marigold full cream milk for the meals.
Chinese Restaurant most of the meals comes with rice and soup. Not to worry so much ya.

thanks calamari, me thinking of ordering flex from BP. cos originals not waterproof (going to be rainy season soon) and i find them very slippery on some surfaces in shopping centres etc. for the most part they're ok but real slippery on some..
i do remember the Katelyn being the soft type of leather, but Metro carries limied colours for this design..

Baby rashes
Any babies had red, raised bumps like mosquitoes' bites before? Elliot had such rashes on his cheeks 3 days ago. It subsided but those on the knees came back. There was a few on his knees around 0.5cm2 each and it was not red unless scratched. They flared up and became big patches, feeling a little hot after the polliewogs. Suspected the high socks made it worse. They travelled to his ankles too. This morning was better with the redness subsided but the bumps travelled to the thighs. *worried*

Hi koori
yes I met with CD Principal Lynn and she confirmed there will be no toddler class in the new outlet. She explained it's a double-storey bungalow and they will build special facilities to cater to the older ones. As for whether they will renovate this old premise, they have no concrete plans yet that's why I asked Sputnik to help 'push' for it if she's also sending her bb there. More parents greater voice mah. If you can, please help to ask about it too.
Anyway I have run out of leave to care for Dana at home so we would mostly likely be enrolling her there soon even though I've yet to solve my transport prob....sigh.
Chewy, perhaps it's good to bring Elliot to a doc before you depart so you know what to do with the hives. Keep us updated ya?
Amy, do you know what caused hives? Hubby got it before and we dunno how it developed...

Chewy : Good to know that Elliot enjoyed himself. Think if I go, I'll have to bring my maid or ask my hubby to go with me. If not, I'll become siao char bo. Haha.
Ju was still not in good mood. Brought my 9 year old cousin to my house to stay to brighten Ju's days. He was all smiling when he saw my cousin. He didn't eat in the afternoon but during dinner insisted that my cousin have to feed him and he ate alot!
Angel : Hives is sometimes due to allergy. Can be food, dust, pollen. My hubby gets it very often. He will become like michelin. Haha. Chewy, agree with angel that you should bring Elliot to doctor so that you know what to do when you are in china.
Violet : Congrates on your new job! Enjoy yourself on cruise. I'm planning to bring Ju too.

chewy and angle angel, me always get hives on and off leh, very very much worse during pregnancy, can wake up scratching and crying in the middle of the night.
doc said cos i have sensitive skin, dunno what triggers the allergic reaction (hives are frequently caused by allergic reactions although there many non-allergic causes too) and dunno why it's worse during pregnancy. usually it'll go away after taking antihistamine but during pregnancy cannot take so can only endure..
and Adel inherited my sensitive skin cos she has eczema.. hiaz..
i've been suspecting poor air quality as the cause of my allergic reaction, before moving to my current area i seldom have outbreaks, but now frequently.. or maybe it's just age catching up lol.. but really hope to move away from this area eventually..

Chewy,
Maybe you can check if there is any world link hospitals in Nanjing? As long as its not their local hospital can liao. But be prepared as these hospitals are uber ex lor...
Angel,
I dunno what caused hives lei... For yan it started one day when nanny noticed her bumps in the afternoon and nanny told me it started when the wind was blowing *scratch head* so anyway, how is started is still very much a mystery to me...

Amy, haha ya old people belive when get hives get not let the wind blow onto the body or it'll spread or worsen.
i can personally attest that there's no such thing, cos when i was young and got my first episodes of hives my mum tot so too then wrapped me up and used lemongrass/ginger etc to bath based on traditional remedies and still it didn't improve. so my mum declared mine's not the 'hong-mo' lol

dear mummies! SOS- my right cheeks are swollen and very painful; the swelling only started last night even though I've been having headache 2 days before. I think I might have mumps!
Now my top worry is Dana might catch it as mumpes are infectious anytime from 3 days before symptoms appear to 9 days after
Really glad I didn't make it to Polliwogs yday. Dana hasn't got her MMR jabs yet and today the usual PD we go is closed....any good clinics in Clementi/Sunset area Koori? Please help pray for protection on my family (esp Dana) ya? I gotta see the doc soon once the day brightens, it's so painful I can't sleep at all!

Angel, you got fever as well? one of the symptoms of mumps is fever. probably you are just too heaty. maybe drink more water and put some "watermelon" powder on the swollen area.
mummies who went polliwogs, is the place accessible by public transport? not familiar with east coast leh...
mummies who already brought your children to CC. how do you accompany your children during the first few days? i am sending my Jax to CC next month... and he is starting one month earlier than the usual 18 months. I am very scared of his reactions. got one mummy's gal vomitted and cried at night after she went to CC...

angel, hope you're feeling better. my sis got mumps when she was young but no else else in my family caught it from her, hope Dana stays in the clear
artist, Adel also going CC at 17 months (plus a few days).. I am prob going to phase her in over one month, first few days stay there with her, and leave before naptime. then second week prob leave her there half day and bring her back before nap and then third week let her nap and bring her back after nap and then 4th week she'll be full day there. That's my plan, but gotta discuss with the principal there too. think she can sense my anxiety, so she never also assure me i can take my time to phase Adel in.. but the principals of the CCs whom i've spoken to all say crying is very normal and part of the adjusting process, if got choice of cos they wanna stick to us lor. and nightmares are also common in the beginning.
but they all stressed that we mummies must feel confident, if not the babies sense our anxiety will be worse off and take longer to adjust and settle. so i guess we have to be strong for them and provide them with the stability during this period of change for them.. jia-you!

Hi mummies
thanks for your concern. sorry couldn't log in earlier cos not feeling well. We had a bad scare thought it was mumps but turned out it's Temporal Mandibular Joint Tendonitis (Swelling of Jaw Joints) caused by impact. Think injury might be caused by few nights ago Dana fell onto my face while jumping on the bed
The pain has gotten more excruciating than when I first saw doc this morning so I'll be heading to clinic again before it closes.
Sigh, glad that it's not mumps but suffering too cos of the pain & swelling, can't eat anything!
Koori, LSH got no playground leh...yes we've decided to withdraw Dana from LSH cos the Indian P there not mature enough to take feedback. We questioned her on why she continues to take in kids who have yet to fully recover in this H1N1 period and she raised her voice at my hubby over the phone!
Will share with you more when there's a chance.
Also, we rushed Dana to the polyclinic for her MMR jab which made her wailed so miserably, think super painful
Btw MMR is given free at polyclinics, if your bb hasn't got it, better dun risk it cos for e.g. Mumps may lead to meningitis. Check this website for more info : http://www.nhgp.com.sg/contentview.aspx?article_id=498
Koori and mummies, did any of your bbs develop fever after MMR? Please share your experiences so I know what to expect. Thanks

Hi artist,
we usually bring Dana to our PD at Sunset way for vaccinations but today they are closed and out of desperation, we headed for polyclinic. It doesn't matter when you switch as long as you bring the health booklet along for recording purposes.
Koori, maybe I call you tonight or something to tell you more. Btw, was the MMR jab on the left arm or thighs? My PD usually give shots on the thighs but the nurses at the polyclinic insist it must be administered on the arm
may leave a visible mark in future right?

Chewy: Yeah ! Glad tt you guys enjoyed @ Polliwogs! Hope E went to the PD ? Hope his bumps have subsided! Hugs to Elliot !
Violet: Good ! I'm looking out for jobs too. Do let me know if you have normal office hours job to recommend.
Angel: Do take care ya ! Hope your pain goes away soon !
Artist: The cabs or cars can be drive straight into the carpark. Normally I will drop infront of burger king, cut thru it. Polliwogs is just beside there.
Just to share, I'm more relief today. After passing Xavier to the teacher, though he made some noise but he did not cry anymore like he used to be. Guess he took about 3 weeks to get adjusted to the teachers and environment.

angel - the indian P showed us around when we went to take a look at the LSH at Ulu Pandan. She seems pretty young, but I guess this may mean that she is not very experienced. How can she raise her voice to your hubby?? That's too much. As parents, of cos we are concerned and give feedback if we feel that something is not right.

Sputnik, you got it right. The Indian P is young and lack the maturity and experience to handle parents' feedback professionally. My hubby has written to the GM of LSH Chain who apologised for her behaviour. However we no longer can entrust our daughter to a CC who's led by such a Principal so we are giving Carpe Diem a try. Lynn, the CD Principal is a mother of 3, so she may be able to understand our concerns better.
I am also baffled why some CC rates are so cheap...maybe these are the HDB Void Deck setups run by PAP?

on charges of CCs, really varies a lot, but i think ave abt $400 after subsidy? i searched and some really so cheap but i have not visited so cannot comment on why there's such a vast diff. My girl's CC also abt $700 after subsidy leh.
just to share, my latest buy.. Ikea's play kitchen to replace the electronic one Adel has, cos I'm so in love with wooden toys lah, so i sold off her existing set and bought this Ikea one. considered cheap for wooden kitchen, less tha $200 for the set and sturdy too, plus lots of storage for her playfood and flatware
she's really excited to see a life-like sink and tap, since she's obsessed with throwing the dishes into the sink and watching me wash up, and also helping me to open and close my kitchen cabinets (gotta distract her with mini tasks while i try to get her meals cooked)..
