我有見過有個小朋友真的好掂好有教養
佢自已座係度看書等佢媽咪
看完放回原位仲要整番齊
我請佢食糖佢好有禮貌地答"多謝姨姨但我唔食得糖因我咳如果我要了會浪費粒糖不如下一次先唔好意思
跟著佢走也行過來同我講再見又多謝我多一次
我問佢媽咪佢話是佢爸爸教導佢
個小朋友得4歲半

我自已也無佢咁有禮貌何況自已個女

我大女之前有一個男同學成日四圍攪人
佢有一次用lego砌成一把槍向我大女
話要剎佢我大女返到屋企話我知話唔想返學
我咪compiant比director同老師知
老師仲否認話見不到後來有兩個同學話見到
學校之後話比個男同學家長知
個家長仲無同我道歉己算仲同我有敵意
佢個仔生日果日開生日會
每個同學有禮物佢只是不比我大女
我唔恨啦但覺得咁做呀媽真係唔掂
後來我大女轉了校就無事

purplechili,

Usually when I bring my son out, we are going to the stores or malls or restaurants! lol. I seldrom bring him to the park etc especially I am working full-time now. Usually we need to buy grocery and run errands during the weekends. Your daughter 咁懂事 knows to help out or not interrupt you when you are cleaning.

My son picked up a few more "words" again though usually his pronounciation is not that clear. So far he can say "cher cher" (train), "joe sun" (good morning), "chung leung leung" (bath), "sing sing" (star), "dung dung" (lamp/light), 'die die' (bye-bye), 'ar ar ' (duckie), "line line" (milk), call dog "wo woo", rign the door bell will say "ding dong" and a lot of other sounds. However, he doesn't really call me. no "ma ma" at all. He always say "da dar" but I don't know if it really refers to daddy or some other stuffs.

I may not bring him for Gymboree class now as I work full-time now. I feel lazy to go bring him during weekends on a fixed schedule. I guess he can kinda get the alternative of the class from the day care because the day care lady also sing and play games with the kids and he can social with other kids (just that I won't be able to social with other parents).

Yes, there is library close by. Actually I brought my son to the "Babies and Books" program from the library when he was younger. It was a 3 week program (once a week class). Just all the babies and parents joined a big circle and the instructor sang the song and ask the parents to hold bb's body parts and did different movement etc. I haven't bring my son to the library lately. I was thinking to bring him to the library when he's a bit older because I don't want him to chew on the books from the public library (dirty). We have some cloth/cardboard/plastic books at home that my son like to read/flip though. I found out he can distinguish the correct orientation (i.e not reading upside down) of the book for the past 2 months now. I purposely turn his bible upside down and he would grab the bible and turns it to the correct orientation before he flip the page. I guess he got used to look at the picture in that way.

yungah,

You are very ho sum gay to bring MattMatt to the museum in Sausalito. It sounds too far for me! :D

I think I need to check out which free day for the museum/zoo later but I need to pick a weekend because I need to work on weekdays. Vallejo sound too far. :D I heard there's another zoo that's pretty good and it's not as far. I may check that one out later. I don't go to gymboree tho back then, I thought of taking the trail free class b4. There closest one will be the one in Los Altos.

woo.. whalebb,
that is a bit scary.. from the preious day care..
Amanda likes a cow boy as well.. so active.. but I would say.. I love to see her active.. like this.. a happy girl every day.. although, even she wears dress, she doesn't look like a girl.. but she is who she is.. and I do love her.
As long as she has her manner, magic word with please and thankyou.. say sorry when she does something not right. kiss and hug others to show that she is friendly, for a 4 years old, she does her best job.
our kids just outgoing.. that doesn't mean we did not do our job as parent. we did.. therefore, they are happy kid. we provide a happy, open minded enivornment, therefore, they will not feel scare to run around.. their feet did not tide up.. they will not only a parents' robbot.. they have their lil mind.. and enjoy their lives here in US..
I believe that Amanda will be classified as ADHD in hk.. haha.. and she will be sent to special class, because HK people only want their child to sit on chair, with 2 hands on their laps. Never ask question, never speak a word without permit.
I love my active Amanda.. and I wish that she will be free and happy on her pre k class this year. After this lovely happy pre-k class..
if we can not find a nice house to move to New Jersey by next August, (that's mean we will keep living in New York), Amanda will be sent to Catholic school next year. to St. Joseph hill acedemy... then, she will become one of those who only sit well, and listen to the church sister.

Amanda learns it because she is the one who actually add those color in the class with her teacher and friends..therefore she learnt it.
I love the way which the teacher does.. learn from experience.. let the kids do it.. it is the way to learn!

SY_mom,

Do you think your son learn much from the group piano class? Or do you think private lesson maybe more beneficial? but then private lesson is $65-80/hr!!! wooo... Are those piano teacher very famous? Before I was thinking to send my son to Taekondo or Kung-Fu class when he's a bit older. Now, I reserve that thought because he has bad temper and I am afraid he will hit other kids a lot (esp if he takes those class)...

My son tried to throw things on the floor (when he "fat pei hey") and touch things that he wasn't suppose to (shake the floor lamp/monitor), I grabbed his hands and said NO with a stright face. Guess what? He stared back at me with a "ng fun hey" look and then trying to use his hands to hit my face/my hands. Sometimes when I said No or "scold" him, he would even "e e ur ur" (using his bb language) with that angry facial expression looking at me. I am sure he was trying to "talking back"!

I guess if my son is interested in learning piano later, I may just teach him myself and save some money. Of coz if he really go very advance later on, then I can consider to send him to those famous piano teacher. Now, still too early to talk all those. He's only 14 months. :D

Nillie_mami,

It's so nice that Amanda get a good teacher. A good teacher make big differences! My mom is coming this Saturday so I am thinking to take my son out from daycare for 2 months so my mom can spend some times with him (and also save some daycare money). But I am not sure if my mom can handle him by herself! As Kaden get heavier now and he can walk and climb up the stairs and like to touch everything... I am afraid my mom may not have the energy to keep up...

Wah... that kid is so 有教養 and well-behave!! If my son is like that jau ho lor! (dreaming now) :D

Although I think it also depends on the kid himself/herself as well... even with good teaching/parenting... not all the kids may stay that well-behave (but of coz we need to try our best to teach the kids well). :)

bunnymonkey,
will your son forget about day care life after 2 months..? I am scare to take Amanda out from day care for too long, because I am afraid that she will refuse to go back to school, so even my parents invite Amanda to go back to hk for summer break, I did not allow her to go..
Good that your mom comes over.. to give you a relief.. and also can eat the food which your mom cook for you..
my mom, she doen't cook.. so .. I don't have the luck at all

nillie_mami,

This is what I am not sure. The daycare lady also told me today that she may afraid my son maybe harder to adapt the daycare life after 2 months. She said she saw some kids was out from daycare for couple months (taking care by the grandma) and then when they are back to the daycare, they got spoils and hard to get back to the normal daycare routine.
I will see how it goes later after my mom arrive. If she can take care of my son (physically), I may just drop my son back to his daycare.

bunnymonkey,

yr care-giver said so becoz she didn't want u to take yr son out of the day care for two months (long) without paying her.

only yrself would know the best abt yr son's character.
my friend's son also had the same problem when she stayed home taking care of him for two weeks when he's sick.

if my son were in yr situation, i wouldn't worry abt the hardship for him to adjust to the day-care life after taken two months off. coz he always likes new things (he's the one who said he wanna try out the new school).
however, my concern would be: will the care-giver still reserve the space for him for two months? even if she said she would, i would doubt. coz this is a "reality" world. during yr son's two-month absence at the day-care, she would give out his spot to someone else if somebody asked for it.

just my suggestion -
how abt u switch his schedule to 2 or 3 days a week? yr mom would get more time resting and have more personal time herself too.

sy_mom,

Could be (daycare lady said that). :) Actually according to the contract, if I take vacation off and want to hole the space, I need to give her half of the $ even tho I am not sending the bb there. If I want to just quit, then need 2 weeks notice. And if we want to get back there after quitting, it will depends on the space availibity. But my hubby told her a while back about my mom is coming and so she has some preparation/idea about our situation. Later on, she said she felt bad to get our 50% $ for the time we will be out, so she said we don't need to pay for the time.

I may not care too much whether he adapte to the daycare after 2 months or not (if he cry, then let him cry... I have no problem on that.) but more concern on if my mom has the physically strength to keep up on looking after the "monkey".

Well, we already said which date we will be out and which date we will be back. So, hopefully she would save the space for us. If not, then I will need to look for some other place.

2 or 3 days a week could be feasible too. I will decide after my mom come and see if that would work better. Actually my mom will be here for 3 months and I will still send my son to daycare on the first week after my mom come and on the last few weeks before my mom leave.
If I only do 2 or 3 days a week, each day's $$ (avg) will be more than if I just send him for the whole week...

有點後悔比佢自已選擇轉校
因學校環境真的無以前果間咁clean食物也無咁正
但唯有安慰用自已學術會好好多

whalebb,

just wondering if yr younger daughter is also allergic to trees and grass? my son just had his 3rd skin test last month. this time we saw a pediatric allergy specialist who's a professor at Stanford. the skin test result done at her clinic seems to be more accurate. per the skin test result, he's not allergic to any of the 30+ food items but severely allergic to trees and grass.

sigh ... no wonder his eczema problem was getting worse since he started preschool at 2. now it's even worse since he switched to his current preschool a yr ago, coz the slides are right under the big pine trees in the playground and there's sand all over the playground. he likes to play with sand a lot, but unfortunately the sand must have the leafs and pollen fallen into it.

now his eczema is getting worse during summer coz he's wearing short-sleeve shirts and shorts to school (i.e. more explosure to the allergic enviornment). if it's not too hot that day, i'll let him wear the thing long-sleeve shirt to school and the rashes on his arm are definitely getting better. try it to see if it helps yr daughter's rashes problem.

anyway, there're also lots of trees in our neighborhood too, including the trees such as pines and cypress that he's most allergic to. those trees are the most popular trees in Northern California too.
doctor said he can still go out and play but she's prescribed two kinds of medications for him to take on a daily basis. i haven't started on him but just give him Claritin and Benadryl if needed although they only help just a little.
