Babyso,
Wow! Happy 1st birthday to Andrea!! I wish her become more clever and and more cutie! Do u think time passes so fast, sometimes i really miss the happy moment passed. Babies really growth so fast!
Your method of putting orange label is really interesting, i'll try sometimes and see Lam Lam reaction, she is so 貪靚! She enjoys looking herself in the mirror.
Ansonbaby,
Anson's learning speed always surprise u! It reinforce my belief, be patient, babies will reward us some days!
Anton,
I put Lam Lam sitting on the floor near the sofa and using my legs 夾住 Lam Lam body. She looks at the 百科圖again! It true that it has to match w BB, sometimes is quite difficult to show her 3 times a day, as she is not always want to look the 百科圖. So keep trying to find the most suitable method to Ralph! 加油!
clic_1221,
How stupid maid she is!! She really makes u busy and 心力交瘁! Take care! You must fire her some days!
各位ee & babies,
Thanks for your birthday greeting ar. Yesterday when we sung the birthday song to HH, she's so exciting : clapping hands and "stared" at the cake & candle
Due to dry season, my 氣管炎發作 since last Sat, make me can't sleep well and cough all the time, the worse is I have no mood/energy to play with HH, very tire
[I believe that it's because her mom is also 古靈精怪 !]
Ansonbaby,
haha, I'm not that 古靈精怪 ga, when I was young, I was very古肅/認真 tim, but I'm trying to make myself more easy 'coz I don't want Andrea to be another me :mrgreen:
I learnt the playing methods from playgroup, books & my sisters. I really find that teaching babies through happy playing is the most effective way, I enjoy so much to play with Andrea.

When you've time, we can go tea time any time ga, either at Causeway Bay or Diamond Hill (via 東隧 from North Point). It's really good for babies playing together, they can learn from each other and learn how to sharing.
Re : maid
in your case, do u think it's better for u to change another maid asap? My maid never reply me like that, which so far I'm quite satisfy with her (over 1 yr). It's very important to have a maid that can help u. It really not worth to pay her $$ and make u get mad
just my opinion, let's chat further when you've time :mrgreen:

re: rash
Anson has got some rash on his face as well, but not serious, after I put the Seba Med, his face turns soft again. Would you try?

re: 氣管炎發作

re: maid
I think u better think seriously to change a new one. It would be better for u and for Tasha. We don't want to see u to be that 勞氣 !
re: flash cards
It is a very good start !

How is LamLam's progress? In fact, u are patient enough to teach LamLam. I think u will be very happy to see her growth and learning fast as time past by. Don't worry :lol: !
Finally, I’ve got the cheapest quotation!!! Remember last time I said that my ex-colleague found me the printing house which quoted $1.1 per word card and $1.8 per dot card at 260p cards? I’d ordered around 600 Chinese words, 200 English words and 1 set of dot cards.
Just when I received the cards last week, my ex-colleague said that she found me another one which is much cheaper!!!! 真係好抵呀 ~~~~~ 價錢平了, 啲卡仲厚咗同大咗! 如果妳哋/有朋友/其他BK friends有興趣可隨時通知我架, 搵咗咁耐又咁抵, 都想多啲人受惠.
I know, I'm gonna start looking after Christmas. Hope I'll be better luck this time lah.
Also I do think she has some sort of 感情with Tasha, cos today is Natasha's birthday and we were out the whole day. When we came home in the evening, I ask her to take a photo with Tasha since it's her birthday. She quickly go back to the kitchen and changed her top to look neater before taking that photo. The scene did make me soften a bit, but don't worry, I won't give in, this is too little pro compare to with the cons.
Re: Flash Cards
Thanks for the effort. I opened the webpage just now and took a glance at it, looks very promising. Will look at it in more detail maybe tomorrow.
The English words are definitely bigger than the GC's one.
Re: Rashes
Sorry to hear that Anson had some rashes, thank god he has recovered.
Anton:
How's Ralph's rashes now? Did you try ansonbaby's recommedation?
andiecyw,
Keep it up with the hard work you've done for Lam Lam, I'm sure she will benefit and let you see the fruits when time come.
We had a great time with Natasha today, she actually走三場today. We were out from 10.30am to 9.45pm. She was very very happy and very very tired. Imagine, she only took an 1hr nap and a 0.5hr nap in betweens. But still, she was so hyper that she just slept asleep a while ago.
Well... she had her first bite of cake at lunch (it was a cheesecake), after then when we went to another birthday party, as soon as she saw my cake, she wanted to grip it, very胃食. I only gave her one layer of the Black Forest Cake, I wouldn't let her had anymore even she still want it, then she cried so hard with very big drop of tears. We had to give her a biscuit instead before she stopped crying. It is really very very embarassing but very very funny too.
You know, the feeling is really very strange once I look back to the past year. How she grow from that tiny thing in my tummy into this litte angel/monster. Really very 感足! I miss her being very small and helpless but also satify with the little angel I have now.
It is a great feeling to be a mother of your child.
Let's sing together : [size=small]Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday to Tasha...Happy Birthday to you...Yeah!
Oops!!! Sorry for the belated greetings coz I always think that it's on the next week :mrgreen: !Wow, 好勁呀, 同Tasha走三場!!! That's great to hear that she was so happy and enjoying on her birthday. Can imagine her 胃食 look is very funny !
Yeh, same feeling with your 感足! Never had that feeling if we hadn't been a mother :-P !
Re: maid
Good luck. I think it shouldn't be difficult to find another one better than this one !
Sorry, I also think Natasha's birthday is on next week!!!!
Happy Birthday to Natasha!!!
Same as Natasha, Ralph also is very 胃食 . Always wants to eat the adults' food. That's y they get a big body!!!
I also have a same feeling with u and ansonbaby, watching my baby is growing up everyday. Quite 感足!
Re: Rashes
Ralph's face is getting much better now. Coz i saw the forum from BK, the mama recommend the " Emulsifying Ointment BP". It's a semi opaque waxy ointment, it's quite good for the baby's eczema.
ansonbaby,
Re:Flash card printing
Wah! it's quite cheap to print the flash card, i think when i finish teaching the flsh card from GC, i 'll consider to print it
clic_1221,
Happy belated 1st birthday to cutie Natasha, Wish her 身體健康!!
I have a similar feeling as u, Lam Lam was 6 month olds on Dec 12, i'm already missing the past days, she has grew from 一垢飯 to now, very busy to learn everything around her, can't stop for a while!! 有d唔捨得! But of course i want to grow up much faster!!
Ansonbaby,
The price is really great! I think the cost is even cheaper from making the card by myself on plain card. So regret that i've bought so much plain card before. Don't know how to handle the remaining cards. Would like to order the printed ones, but think that it will be wasting all the plain card...... But i think i would like to order 百科圖 later!
Hello Ansonbaby,
the flash card you found were very cheap ar, my sister is interested, may I know :
1. is there any word at the back of the 中英文字卡? (easier for us to teach baby)
2. 數學科 - any words/formular at the back?
3. 百科圖卡: any 智力綱領?
4. also, do they have level A to D, etc? 'coz I found in the web it's ~1000 cards for English cards only
Sorry for asking so many question but the quote is really cheap that my sister is interest to order it soon. Thanks much!
Re: Rashes
Anton,
may I know if " Emulsifying Ointment BP" similar to Vaseline? Andrea has a very sensitive skin which she can't use most of the cream (I tried Swiss Baby but she also have red "dots" after apply the cream). Currently she's using Vaseline during this dry season, but as u know, it's really oily, I wanna change it to other cream.
In summer, Andrea is using Aqueous Cream BP which is very good for her (it is cheap, too) :mrgreen:
No worry lah! I already guessed you probably thought Tasha's birthday is on 19 Dec. It's my mistake for not writing clearer.
Actually, we wanted have family gatherings only on 11 Dec and secondly there's another Dec baby holding his birthday on that day, therefore we will have to hold ours on the week after.
Thanks for all ee's greetings. The best part is you can all sure Tasha's celebration with her, right!?
Re: Flash Card
I also think it's very cheaper.
babyso: do you means they have different levels for different ages?
I tried to teach Tasha GC's english card, it's not very attractive to her. Wonder if it's because the wording is too small.
Re: Tash
I think Tasha has too much entertainment these few weeks. She is not sleepy at all at night. She actually woke up many times last night and she is not sleepy at all now. My mum is trying to rock her but doesn't seems to work.
re : Flash Card
for GC set, they have different categories, which start from Baby's nearby stuff, eg, bottle, diaper, etc. 'coz if we need to order 1,000 pcs at once, it'll be too many lah.
For Andrea, she tried to "escape" while I'm teaching her the words. Also, I have 氣管炎these days, I stop the flash cards (again )
Poor me (& Andrea), these days I couldn't sing/play with her too close as I'm afraid I'll affect her. And I need to keep my mouth shut, u know, I always talk a lot ma. Anyway, today I feel much better lah, will see doctor again tomorrow to get more medicine
Yeh, I also think that this price is really the cheapest one already! I think I can never print those words on the 300p cards with the printer at my home. They are using digital priniting which quality is great. I'd seen the samples, very eye-catching and might be better than the bought ones.
My ex-colleague's negotiation skill is really excellent. But I'm a little bit worry......she told me that she said to the printing house that there will be a lot of mothers ordering this kind of cards and asked them to give the cheapest quotation. I think the printing house wanted to 薄利多銷, that's why they could offer this lowest price. My worry is if our order is not as much as they think, they might withdraw their offer . I think I will open a topic in 教育小組 to invite more parents to order so as to keep their offer !
Oh! Poor u :cry: ! Take more rest and hope u get well soon. Andrea can't wait to play with u ah !
Please check PM!
Thanks for asking those questions. It helps me to clarify most of your queries..... :-P . I forgot to say last time, we need to provide them the wordings (in word/excel file) and those 圖卡. They just help to print them out.
1. is there any word at the back of the 中英文字卡? (easier for us to teach baby)
~ I'd asked them before whether they could print a small word at the back of the word cards for easy teaching, but they said that if doing this, that meant printing twice and the price would be doubled ! I think we better write it on the back by ourselves...... it's OK as what I'm doing now is writing daily on the new cards to be taught, spending less than a minute but save much money :mrgreen: !
2. 數學科 - any words/formular at the back?
~ Same as above
3. 百科圖卡: any 智力綱領?
~ They only print what you give. This one would be hard...I think I would 參考 三之三 but we need to write the 10 智力綱領 at the back of the cards :cry: .
4. also, do they have level A to D, etc? 'coz I found in the web it's ~1000 cards for English cards only
~ In fact those english and chinese words in the web are for reference only. For a starter, can just print those words in the web. Or else, we still need to do some homework... type those words u want to teach your bb and then save them on a file for their printing. It's not that hard, last time I typed the 800 words in an excel, starting from those words which are commonly used in daily life, not much effort. Hehe... I also printed Anson's English and Chinese name and he can now recognise his names .
Feel free to ask more questions la, at least reminding me what to tell :mrgreen: !
Ah, if your sister wants to order, please e-mail the followings to me:
1. Name
2. Telephone no.
3. Address for delivery
4. Word/Excel File for words printing (one word per row after 'Enter'.) or the file for 圖卡.
Normally it takes 7 working days. I will confirm the payment method later.

Glad that Ralph's rashes is getting much better now.
