pauline83y,
Theme park 入塲 .. under 3years old free 架... 坐cruise 我就唔sure, 因為冇帶Amanda 坐過.. as Disney Cruise from New York 係4sea 3 land or 3 sea 4 land, 落地時間/日子太短, 如果未去過Disneyworld係唔夠喉呢! Plus, under 3yrs 坐cruise 唔好玩.. all activities for kinder and up (at least for 4-5yr old and up) so, 我哋次次都係坐flight or 揸車落去咯! 一住係住7-14日.. 去埋 international drive shopping, 去太空總署睇穿"saw"機.. 去keywest 玩..

Nillie,
How old is a baby free for charge? After reading your all messages, now心郁郁, also want to plan to go there before Ivan is charged a fee.
Nillie/Carrie/SoCloudy/Allison:
Last time I went to Great Wolf Lodge with my friends and the kids had a blast. Going to cruise would be amazing if big group. Not sure if possible but if bk moms do some trips together would be fun! Nillie waiting for you to gather heehee
Jayne,
You disappeared so quick! Chloe kept asking me to bring her to your hubby but I told her to wait until I "yink-chow" my landlord. She was so disappointed poor kid. The antibiotic you must finish as Nillie said. Chloe sick 3 times in 4 weeks of school too. But I have same feeling as you that antibiotic (or medicine in general) not good so I only took her to doc once when she had fever and looked sick. Other time I just let it ran its course and it cleared itself in few days. Btw, I ended up going to Queens zoo today since it's only 10 mins away.
Carrie/Jayne/soCloudy,
Every kid develops differently. Chloe wasn't talking much back in July now she talks a lot more. My coworker insists me to attend a group for that cure kids with brain damage. I know he is out of intentionl but that makes me worry more. I will watch closely if she needs more help then I'll go for it. But for now I think she is doing fine.
Nillie,
When did Amanda started the classes? How come she wants/willing to attend all those classes? I thought most kids are lazy, what's the trick? I want Chloe to learn something too but not sure where to start. Should it be art or music or sport or language? What is the right age to begin? So much to worry. My neighborhood is not good and I wanted to move but it's so hard to make it happen.

Nillie,Socloudy,
wah. sound like u r worrying too much la. catholic school emphasize more on english. the real school started in 1st grade for catholic school. kindergarten they were playing & coloring & learning ABC. austin in 1st grade now is doing book report & learning amphibians, mammals & reptils in science & religion. andrew was fooling around in public school however he's going on alot more trips and also he's learnt digestive system in 2nd grade & science tools in 3rd.
most of the time it really depends on the teachers. i personally prefer public cuz austin is the only chinese in his class and i think there is some discrimination nor & also cathlic school teachers never smile & act very serious all the time.....that's how they discipline kids nor.

Allison,
Do you take your nanny with you while you go skiing or even Alvin skis? Do they have ski equipment rental for kids so young? I love skiing/snowboarding but haven't went since chloe was born. Last year I went to Great Wolf chloe was 1.5 so we didn't try the big slides. I wonder if this year she can go as she is 3 (b/c i want to play!). May be we can go together as a group then we can take turn taking care of others kid hehe. Let me know when u go!
Nic977/Carrie,
My coworker is very nice. He suggested that to me b/c his son has the problem so he wants me to help chloe asap. But as nic977 said, other people may not know your kid well and the situation, so me too, 唯有就係吾理人地講 in this case as I think chloe is not that bad in speech. But sometimes I have to listen since my bb knowledge is so limited unfortunately
Carrie,
Sure ah will be fun! I'll give u my contact# once I know it. I need to buy a phone card from 711. How about Ocean Park. Which one you think is better?

Nillie,
It is so cold today and hopefully Wednesday will not be that cool la. Have to get some warmer clothes for Sai Sai tim.
I just talked to a friend in HK regarding her daughter’s education. She is only one year old but my friend already felt the pressure to which playgroup she should sign up and what kindergarden she need to register. At that moment, I thought I am lucky as I think it is more relaxing here. After reading your message, I guess I just don’t realize it yet. One of the reasons why we move here is for kid’s education. I hope they can enjoy their school life. Develop a proactive attitude to learn rather than focusing on grade. Being a mom today is not easy; hopefully we can find the balance of that.
Alison,
My snowboarding sucks I only did that 4-5 times. I got bored of skiing since I don't have the gut to try the black lanes so I gave up and switched to snowboarding. I don't have much sport gene.?-( Chloe never tried ice skating but I really want her to. I don't know where they have ice rink here. I lived in Toronto for many years so I really enjoy winter sports. I am going to hk 11/18 for 2 weeks only. Wish I can stay longer but not dare to take more days off my boss may kill me.

Yeah. Like all mothers said, don’t listen to those unreasonable comments. I was always told I look smaller than my sister (I was short) when I was young.I don’t remember what my mom said to those relatives but I finally realize that is only some kind of “conversation” they tried to make.
We are the mother of our kid and we did try our best to take care of them. That’s good enough!
Dorisbee,
I feel the same way too. I guess I just not yet realized how competitive it is here as well. I want chloe to have fun while learn other stuffs. That's why I 羨慕 how Amanda enjoys learning so much. I wish Chloe is like that too.

dorisbee,
ur son looks cute in picture la. =p I only have 3 boys. 8,6,2. most of the time, they r driving me nuts. however, my 8,6 r big enough so we could have fun together ma.
i am not sure about learning too much stuff, austin,6, was crying yesterday cuz he refused to go to abacus. my c6 forced him to go even though he hates it....::~~~ i used to send them to piano although i could teach them myself but again they hate it.....andrew8, would be in orchestra since ps is offering it for free. i dunno where he finds time with his statewide test, kungfu, swimming, chinese school & abacus..i feel alot of pressure & have big arguments with c6 cuz we have different ways to teach kids.
shamom,
wah. black diamond huh? u have some guts :OO we have ice skating in staten island la. in hk we went to 又一城 for ice skating too.

Shamom, Alisonli
You guys have a lot of fun wor. I went to Ski couple times. Didn’t really enjoy that. I guess I am not a sport person lor.
Alisonli, how can you manage to have so much fun with four ...
Dorisbee, Socloudy, Alisonli,
I did not force Amanda on activities at all..
The gym class, music class, ballet class, she saw the other of her friends joined it.. so she asked me to let her join.. therefore, every weekday after school, she is so busy.
Spanish and russian.. she asked for it as half of her friends speak spanish, and the other half speak Russian.. she wants to be friend of all of those.. (she is the only chinese).
Now, she knows her friend on the piano class at weekend, so she is asking, if she can join her friend.
We believe that she may like to go to Fast track kids.. as the approach is pretty good..
Sylvan is the old fashion learning center, which Amanda may not interested in.. but.. to live in US.. she must be a native, and manage her English with perfect (not just no problem in speaking and writing-- I don't want her 只係可以痴住唐人街, 打唐人工) 唔係話老番工高級啲, 但我唔要佢limit 自己, 覺得自己出唔到個圈子, 我都得, so 佢應可以青出於藍 .
Alisonli,
can we come to your house at Tuesday morning (10/30).. we would like to pick up the stuff before Halloween, because the car seat may be good for Nat Nat.
Then I can use it on Wednesday to pick up Nat Nat.
