Re: Any mom living in USA now (Part V)

Meeemeee,

Thanks for checking w/ ur nanny for me. I finally got natalie to poo poo in the potty. For the longest time, she would put her hand on her butt and say "aiya" when she is ready to poo and refuses to go to potty. After talking to Clara, she told me to encourage her by telling her poo poo is normal and not bad thing. Thats what I did yesterday and I even brought in the bubble machine to play w/ her in the bathroom...so ridiculous... ...then she went la. Now I just need her to remember to tell me when she needs to go so we won't have accidents.

Zic,

No problem la. Work is okay la. I only spend 15 hrs in the office each week and half the time surfing the net.... Any news for Ryan's job in London? Good luck ar

SoCloudy,

If if remembered correctly, you and I have the same first name


Nillie,

I don't mind letting nat play on the piano, she is quite gentle and have been pretending to play since she could sit up. I just have to watch her so she doesn't slam the cover on her fingers when she is done. Sometimes we would sit side by side while I play and we would sing together :-P :-P :-P

Carinamom,

I tried putting natalie in school when she turned 2..but I couldn't stand seeing her crying everyday when we parted...so I gave up and took her out after a week. Now Im waiting for her to start real preschool at 3...another year of no freedom for me

Re: Any mom living in USA now (Part V)

hi carinamommy

Do you plan to take your daughter full-time or part-time class? My daughter went to daycare when she's 2 in half-day & shifted to full-time while she's 4. It's a good idea to gain some free time.

as a reminder, your kid may get sick when she go to school at the first few months. I still remember my kids got fever, runny nose & absent to school for the first few months. Doctor said it's normal suitation cause they shared germs at school.

Re: Any mom living in USA now (Part V)

Hi pinkrose

I love to go to San francisco too. The food is really delicious & the prices are much cheaper. So I alway go to san francisco.

My second daughter atten a full-day class. She will go to Kingergarten in next year. She is a kind of shy so I want her being more active & open-mind. Her preschool teacher is a good teacher & always give her a change to speak up before the class & make a warm environment for her to play with classmate. I don't think the kindergarten teacher will have time to help my daughter in this aspect.

My daughter take swimming, music, ice-skating & learn chinese weekly. I think there're a lot of chinese school at san francisco. Why they travel far away to learn chinese in cupertino?

in cupertino, there are a lot of chinese school. There are Cantoness chinese class, simpllfied chinese character with mainland ping ying & traditional chinese character with taiwan ping ying. However, the kid must turning 5 to learn the Mainland ping ying. so my two daughters learn a different ping ying.

My first daughter have learned simified charater chinese with Mainland China ping ying since last year. She's learn a lot & love to learn. It is easy for her to learn cause it is quite similar to phonics.

My 2nd daughter learn the traditional charater with taiwan ping ying in this year. She just sing, color, play & trace line in her class. The teacher said this class just want to let the kid love Chinese.

I'll shift my 2nd daughter to mainland ping ying class in next year. I think the mainland ping ying class is much easy for my kid to learn cause we speak cantoness at home. My friend told me that the AP will only use Mainland Ping Ying as the curriculum. So I think the maninland ping ying will be more useful in future. BTW It'll be easy to find any supplement exercises or materials in HK in case my daughter need them.

Re: Any mom living in USA now (Part V)

Pinkrose,

I'm still thinking whether I should or should not take her to daycare. If I take her to daycare, I need to think about what to do during that time as I don't think I will just stay home doing this and that. Sometimes, I think part time job is not that easy to find..... Well, maybe I'm just thinking too much ?-(

Zic,

We're doing fine. I have heard so many things happened on you (about moving here and there). It must be very tired. I hope you will finally arrive to your destination, HK or China, right? For me, my stupid depression came back about a month ago. This time, I decided to see a doctor as I didn't want to treat Carina like that any more. Carina once did something wrong, I was so mad at her. I knew that she won't understand, but I was mad at her anyway. After that, I felt so sorry of doing that, then I talked to my husband and decided to see a doctor. Now, I'm taking a medicine, and hopefully it works. I believe it's because of the same old problem, my in-laws, but another issue was happened lately too. My 14 years old cat has died. He had kidney cancer and his heart was enlarged. After discussing with the veternarian, we decided to put him to sleep..... I had him ever since he's few months old. He's just a good son to me.....

Nillie,

Carina 係BB? I don't think she thinks she is. Her new trick is holding people's hand to here and there (walking in the garden). Of course, her purposes are something like getting snacks, getting drinks, or getting something that she can't get. Are you getting ready for your "son son" yet?

Natmama,

I hope Carina will be doing fine. Few weeks ago when we were on vacation, we hired a temporary nanny a few hours a day for 2 days. She's doing just fine. When we're walking together with the nanny, she even preferred the nanny to hold her

Wing_ca,

Thanks for your advice. I heard exactly the same thing from others before. I haven't decided whether I should take her to daycare or not, so I never think about full time or part time..... I also heard that it's good to have that "germ sharing" process going through at daycare before going to the "real" school. What do you think?

Re: Any mom living in USA now (Part V)

Hi CarinaMommy,
If your child only go half day, it's only 2.5 - 3 hrs. You have to be there ealier to send her to school and pink her up. So, end up you won't have much time left for doing a part-time job, unless you have someone to pick her up from school.

Re: Any mom living in USA now (Part V)

My 4-yr old daughter is kind of shy as well. That's great that your 2nd daughter got a good teacher at school that give your extra guidance. Which pre-school that she goes to ? Next year do you plan to take her to public kindergarden or private one ? Many of my friends suggest me to go to private one next year for the kindergarden.

If your 2nd daughter attend full time pre-school, then she really takes lots of after school classes. Does she go to those classes after school ?

Hi Zic,
Nice to meet you here as well. Kurt is really cute !! At this age they're the most curious and funny little creature. I still remember I spent most of my time and energy for my little one at this stage. When they turn 3, it's much easier.

Re: Any mom living in USA now (Part V)

Nillie,
終於install返手寫板la! 如果唔係想返番BK同各位媽咪傾吓計,我諗有排都唔install! 總覺得用中文親切dee!
你今次pregnant同Amanda嗰次有冇大分別? 我兩次都嘔到死死吓!但"沱" Candace 就勁鐘意食Korean BBQ.(牛仔骨加白飯)無紅肉不歡.所以重咗好多十磅."沱"Marcus就相反,完全食素咁濟.見到肉都怕!

Natmama,
英姨姨話要有耐性及要鼓勵!千萬唔好靠嚇.英姨姨真係幾好,係自動話要幫Marcus Summer完之前戎片.我初初仲話等Marcus大少少先,因為D朋友話男仔難D!一開始train, 喺屋企完全唔着diaper or training pants,只着底褲及褲.出街帶埋小厠所喺車及着training pants. Marcus 只用過幾條training pants,一包細嘅都未用完已經戎咗lu! 戎片中途只係夜晚瞓覺先着diaper.瞓前要pee一次,好快條片早上都乾嘅,跟住大胆D連片都唔用,再大胆D出街都唔着training pants.好彩so far 都未衰過
英姨姨教Marcus: 小便叫"柯廖new",大便叫"柯蟲蟲" 好快我要他們改叫 pee pee poo poo.因為第曰返pre-school teacher 鬼知乜東東廖new,蟲蟲咩!但小朋友先入為主,小便已pretty much 叫pee pee, 但蟲蟲仍然係蟲蟲!
仲有,英姨姨話唔係成曰問住Marcus要唔要柯or "duc"Marcus 坐小厠所.Instead, 英姨姨成日同Marcus 講"弟弟要柯廖new同柯蟲蟲記得話比姨姨知,唔好賴烏joe絛底褲仔"初初Marcus都有賴大賴小架! Her point was 要個仔自己feel到有需要柯就同大人講.如果成日提個仔柯或"duc"坐小厠所,小朋友多多少少都有peepee,但自己就唔識control 喇!

Re: Any mom living in USA now (Part V)

meeemeee,
今胎慘過上胎好多, 拕女真係好容易, 只係食唔落.. nausea, vomiting and indigestion..
但今胎拕 "小肥bear", 3個月時嘔到喺病房返返吓工暈咗.. 嚇到啲colleagues CC吓.. 撞腫咗個頭 (as我喺 medication room 執緊药, med room 好細), 又唔照得 CAT scan, X-ray.. 落到 ER, 醒返就繼續嘔... 唉.. 抽血, 驗尿.. all results abnormal.. 最麻煩係我OB唔駐診我做嘢間醫院, so 我要先出院再返Manhattan 我生 小肥bear間醫院做 admission.. 唉! .. 以為吊吓鹽水就可以返屋企.. 點知.. 抽血至發現.. sodium, 同potassium 個level 低到差啲可以死人.. 怪唔知個人咁累.. 血壓一時over 150/100mmHg..又有時得80/45 mmHg, 有膀胱炎, 偏頭痛, hay fever 不離身..
Finally, 醫生喺我手臂植咗條cath 入我心口條大動脈嚟吊鹽水同落药.. 我就先至返屋企, 自己吊鹽水同manage 啲药.. 同有visiting nurse 嚟屋企take care 我..
我足足on short term disability 成3個月, 而家7個月喇, 先至返番醫院開工.. 但就有水腫腳, 糖尿同小小血壓高.. 醫院啲OB 同supervisors 睇實我架喇.. 怕我頂唔順.. 我OB話到自己handle唔倒就開始 on maternity leave喎..
so far, 如果返工唔駛我 in charge, 都唔係好多嘢做唓..
有Amanda時, 我至愛係sea food, 今胎係食齋咯.. 菜同水果are the best..
Amanda好乖, 佢返day care Full time 一年喇, 而家佢日日排緊Halloween 個表演.. 好busy!! 我發現佢喊多咗.. 以前Candace 知有細佬時, 有冇情緒唔穩定架??

Socloudy,
你放假未?? 我都明白你老公感受.. 始終自已人睇住Corey仔好啲..

Zic,
我finally book咗4D ultra sound喇, 肥bear 怕 "小肥bear"有兔唇喎.. (as 我有條 central line喺手臂時照過X-ray).. 就算 "touch wood" 有事, 都係事實喇.. 咪只會令自己担心,傷心,guilty 多啲..
Amanda今朝又Kurt 仔, EE, Kurt 仔, EE 喇... 真係担心到你哋一出發.. Amanda成年見唔到Kurt 仔同你.. 咁點算

Carina mommy,
你睇吓Carina 幾醒 ... 佢同Kurt 仔一樣咯.. Amanda細個時都係咁..
今胎好'啖'定啊.. as 衫褲鞋襪 夠著到歲半 (zic, socloudy, 同我香港 BK 啲媽咪 巳送好多嘢俾BB, 我爸爸媽咪會幫我去香港BK媽咪喥collect 所有 baby shower gifts) .. BB又食人奶.. 爸爸媽咪會12月頭飛嚟 new york等BB出世.. 同幫我坐月, 睇住Amanda, 肥bear 又會請一個月假留喺屋企.. 日日出唐人街買新鮮雞, zic又煲定薑醋俾我..
我諗.. 今次會有一次好經驗.. 我生埋呢胎唔生喇, 所以要好好坐月呢..

Hi Pinkrose,
I like NY a lot. Personally, I love cold weather, so I have no problem living in NY. There are many Chinese in my community and Chinese supermarket is almost everywhere... very convenience.
Although my brother has been living in San Jose for several years, I have never visited him once. Maybe next year... any good sightseeing place that you would recommend?

Hi Zic,
It's so relax to live in upstate ah. Have you heard any news from Ryan's job ah?

My job is okay la, just kind of stress. Recently, my divison had a major restructure. I have to handle more responsibilities and I have a new boss... Luckily, my new boss is as nice as the old one.

Corey is doing great ah. He finally can drink from sippy cup la.

Re: Any mom living in USA now (Part V)

Meeemeee,

Thanks for your advice and I love the pix of your kids. They are so big now. We have been training natalie a little over a month now and at home we only let her wear panties. You are so good to bring portable potty when you go out, I don't think I can do that. She is okay to go pee pee before and refused to go poo poo. After I talked to clara and she taught me how to encourage natalie, finally natalie was able to do poo poo using the potty. I'm not sure if we can get her off diapers during bedtime yet cuz she drinks a bottle of milk before she sleeps. Let me try try sin. Thanks so much for you advice. Marcus is a great boy

Nillie,

I'm so happy to know your parents will come to sit moon with you this time. This is precious time for your body to recover cuz metabolism is really high. Enjoy and make up for the bad experience you had last time

Socloudy,

I am sorry, I think I confused you with dorisbee. ?-( ?-(

Re: Any mom living in USA now (Part V)

Carinamom,
I totally understand how you feel as sometimes I just yell at Kurt the way too too much... Afterward, I feel super guilty as well... And then, I feel like I'm such a horrible mother...He just a little baby, why I have to yell at him??? But when he gets naughty, I can't help it...my emotion just gets started on fire... Or maybe you could say I don't have the patience or "sum gei" to teach them... It just something that I have to work on it too... So in this issue, I really can't help you much... So any moms have any good suggestions for us these 2 poor mommies??

However, I discover that when I'm super , Kurt will just do the bad things to make you even more angry (add oil on fire) I believe, they know how to trigger you in some way... but at the same time, they also want to let out their emotion as well...

So please, any moms have good suggestions for us... We need help



Pinkrose,
Kurt is a sweet boy... SOMETIMES!!!! Recently, he learns to kiss people... it just too sweet for me to handle Therefore, kids are always"1 bite sugar, 1 bite poo poo"

How old are you kids now?? Do you have two
