It is really busy to take care of two babies! I am not really good at uploading photos, even I want so much to show you how cute my little girls are. Well, hopefully, we will have change to see our kids in the next gathering.
My maid just back from Phil and caught flu. She need to take rest, so I am busy even she is back! My second baby also sick. I cannot afford to have someone to sick in my house in these few days!
To answer your question: The Montessori book series is quiet good. I spend a lot of time with my older girl when she was about 9 - 14 months. But I do not have much time to use the book now because it is so busy to look after two babies while there schedule and food are not the always same. Anyway, the contents of Montessori books are really good.
By the way, I am going to take my big girl to have 水豆針, is anyone have the experience with their kids? How much is it?
the cost for 水豆針 is around $460.
my kid took it at 1yr 3mth old already (before he enrolled in the very first playgroup)
nkkcal:
he was still "scared' of the "thundering and lightning". however, quite enjoyed other parts eg the magic, the songs and he likes the best the "mr wolf".
luckily just went to the airport today. on the back trip, i saw "mountains and seas" of people queuing up for the cable car. horrible scene !
has anyone ever taken the lantau island cable car? how to shorten the time for queue up? return ticket? buying somewhere else? ?-(
I had taken lantau isalnd cable car in last Christmas holiday. I spent one and half hours for line up to purchase the ticket. It is better to purchase two ways ticket. In order to save time, you can purchase the e-ticket through internet/ tavel agent, then you can directly go to the counter to collect the ticket. Also, return should be before 3:00 p.m./ when you saw 回程人龍.

Thanks for your information.
Yes, take good care ar...one person gets infected, easy spreading to each other ga...so must ask your maid to wear face-mask...
Wing Fung injected 水豆針 long ago, I can't remember exactly when. But no side-effect at all. Price...definitely not the cheapest one, because his doctor always charge higher than general one.
Littlemak,
After watching the drama, Wing Fung is telling the story to us and his teacher, however, I find that he seems unable to organize very well...only bit & piece(of course I can understand it is part of the story, but for his teacher or those who never see the drama, it is very difficult la !) ...is there any good way to help him organize and tell the story ?
how about "drawing" out the relevant events first, in form of pictures, in proper sequence, and offering him "relevant words"?
story-telling is actually a very high-level skill. mostly occurring and starting to appear from at least 4-5 yrs old. For 2-3 little ones, capable of "sentences-making" is already very good. in fact, to tell a story, we need lots of "connective words" e.g. if, because, so, then, including all the wh-words, knowing about time and figures and result.
wingfung is better than other kids of similar age, in terms of his "language age" and "cognitive age". however, he still needs time to consolidate all the present skills and to re-construct them to make into his own.

1.5 hours? long long queue ! is it the same fun as the ocean park cable car?
i am thinking of giving up the cable car 360 already !
my husband has a one-day holiday (almost the only one within the whole yr !) on CNY 2nd day. that's why i am thinking of how to make very good use of it, with him and kid !! ?? any idea?
clma:
thanks !
however, 年初三 is the only day for the whole family inc papa to go!
which 旅行社的一天遊 do you choose? seems very attractive !
can our kid stand for one whole day trip? to let them take a nap at the middle of the day? or on the tourist bus?
nkkcal:
as the response for CNY gathering is not hot, may be most 0404moms are busy preparing for the CNY, i will not book the club house,
gathering at one of our hourse is better.
any idea?
Littlemak,
About whole day trip, Wing Fung tried before those organized by 管理處. Okay ar, he would play with other kids on the coach bus and joined the quiz game. For his snap time, we choose to stay on the coach bus. But you might need to think about dining, because there is not too much time allowed normally..
