Hi, Sandythepooh
近排ChunYu好鐘意叫HayHay. 不過HayHay有日, 行行吓都要走翻轉頭睇下佢d 同學仔跟住叫咗几聲想漏玩. ChunYu就好貪玩. 所以指住不停叫HayHay. 就咁樣返到屋企耐唔耐睇住幅相(經已過左膠)就叫WaiWai,GaGa,Nevin(佢自己),冇相睇都記得叫hayhay. 我估計Hayhay漏玩嗰日, 已經開始想同同學仔講嘢啦.

chunyumommy,

HH did say more "words" after going to school, but yet still slower than average......hope he will open up his "gold mouth" very soon la..... you know, this has been an issue bothering me since HH's 18 mths lu.....

I'd love to know more about how's HH doing during the day....thanks for telling me that ...... I think I've missed so much funny scenes of the kids since I'm not a FT mum   :cry:

Hiyee,
I'm so sorry for my silence in the last two days. Guess what? I've been maid hunting again. Every week, there are some disasters from things my Indo helper "doesn't know". I daren't risk any more of these disasters because Pui Pui is still so small. My helper crossed the road without looking, covered pui in so many blankets that she was sweating (helper did not check), showered her in cold water, wheeled the stroller into the gap between the platform and the KCR train.... I mean, sure I can teach her but it only takes one fatal error and that's it. I cannot risk it.

I interviewed a few and found one really really superb filipino. she worked 10 years with her previous employer. She's so sweet (I've met her twice), no wonder her previous employer kept her for so long until they left the country.

Please wish me luck

MayAnne

To Sandy,

Boys generally talk a lot later than girls. Not just you, but I was worrieda about Pui Pui too initially because girls were meant to talk more. But then at 2 years old, she started babbling so much but no where near the level of other girls her age (I think, not sure).

In Sydney, we dont' expect children at this age to talk so much.

I have this friend. His mum said that he didn't speak until he was 3 and she was soooo worried. But now, goodness me, he talks very well and as much as a female.

Hay Hay is probably busy developing his other skills and don't feel the need to talk yet.
My cousin's son who's born in March 2004 cannot talk either. He just loves to play and play - very active, I must say. He can even run up and down the threadmill.

Re reading scheme: I hope Pui Pui doesn't bring back the same Chinese book again this week. It's too hard for me. I bet she's going to say those animals in English and will get another week

Thanks for all replies regarding keeping children warm at night. I will try to adopt those ideas and will also see if a humidifier/air purifier would help as well. Sometimes her stuffy nose makes her snore and it makes me worry.

To Joey,
Thanks for your input about Disney. My british friend said, "Not as fun for kids as Ocean Park" but given your latest input, I think we'll take Pui Pui.
We're going to go to China this weekend. We are taking Pui Pui to a zoo that allows us to drive the car through. And also I heard there's a butterfly farm. It'll be a busy weekend but I can't wait to go. Looks like this weekend is a zoo weekend for everyone, hee hee.

MayAnne

I agree about Ms Tam. She really takes care of our kids. When I call her, she could tell me all the things Pui Pui did that day. That's how observant she is.

Pui mentions Ms Tam a lot. She would open the book and when she sees a teacher with kids, she automatically says, "Miss thumb".

MayAnne,

Thanks......

Which zoo are u going to?  We're going to the one located in Panyu next week, will it be the same?

So, did you fire your Indo helper or wait until the new one come?  My helper also made me angry yesterday, coz she put on a sweat-shirt with fleece on HH after bathing    It's really a matter of luck to hire a good helper.......

MayAnne

Hi Sandy,
I don't know what zoo it is called because the brochure hubby has got is in Chinese. I'll tell you on Monday, hee hee because I can only use the computer when I'm at work

We're staying overnight in Guangzhou.

Sandy, I will terminate my Indonesian helper next week. I feel bad but I really need someone who's capable of looking after Pui Pui. The one I'm hiring is a midwife and has done first aid also. She's so sweet, so fingers crossed I hope she'll be the right one for me. Her previous employer gave her a glowing reference. She had soooo many calls from potential employers but she said she likes me. I'm so lucky so I quickly got the paperwork done today. Hee hee.
Pui PUI won't be at school on Monday because she's coming to my place for a trial.

ChunYuMommy

Hi MayAnne,

Your helper seems to be very careless for taking care of children. It's really really dangerous crossing the road without looking. In my opinion, it is very hard to teach a helper who doesn't bear thinking about the consequences or lacks the sense of feeling or logical thinking. Hope you new helper is really a help to you.

ChunYu Mommy,

Hi! ManMan is also sleeping now.  It's earlier than normal coz she's no sleep this afternoon.

ManMan need to repeat to read the English book this time & Ms. Diya wrote down "ManMas was so quiet today....."  I don't know what happen???



& she always said "so scare 'tsu tsu' at school".  I think I need to call her class teacher.

Hi Joys,

How did the teacher say, for what making Man Man worried about? Does Diya teach English in class? How do you like her teaching method? Cos I want to switch to International class when Chun Yu goes to K1. After going to school for 3 months, does Man Man try to communicate with you in Mandarin at home? All the chinese books you got from school have pinyin along with words? Thanks!

ChunYuMommy

Hi MayAnne,

We haven't seen you in today's gathering. Don't put so much work on your shoulder. Today I see Pui Pui afterschool, she seems to have runny nose. Hope she be fine. ChunYu seldom to have runny nose in the past, but this time he got it almost in a week even having finished his medicine. I wonder why cos he has already taken the flu vaccine for 10 days.  

ChunYuMommy

Hi Joey,

My son is studying in Int'L class.  YES, Miss Diya teach English in class.  Although, I'm not sure her how to teach him in class.  But my son love to go to school and singing a song at home.  My son usually speak cantonese at home & a little bit of English.  I never heard him to speak Mandarin except singing a Mandarin song.  

Yes, most of the chinese books I got having pinyin along with word.

真係多謝哂你o既建議！個茶好多效能！男人o岩唔o岩o架？ 估唔到我講下你都咁上心！

其實Helen最主要o既問題係甩頭髮！不過飲茶時我都唔想提，費時整到佢冇哂心機！呢方面有冇建議？

拿拿拿,你又黎講吓啦. 係你甩頭髮咋. 係咪. 咁就搽d BRANDY 係個頭度. 咁就好快生番出黎架喇.
