SY_mom,
thanks for info about Echinacea,i just looked it up 紫錐花屬紫苑家簇，生於北美草原地區。大量研究證實，紫錐花能增強及刺激人體免疫系統，有助消炎殺菌，抵抗病毒。對發燒、流感、過敏症、關節炎、喉嚨發炎等病症，紫錐花均能有預防及治療效用。i will probably give it a try.

99 gave 鱷魚肉 soup to alvin but he had nonstop nose bleeding. probably she bought the fake ones. from newspaper, 晒干後的鱷魚肉﹐由于具有滋補強肺功效﹐吸引不少市民買來煲湯﹐但中大早前一項抽查發現﹐本港出售的鱷魚肉﹐多達九成是假貨﹐近日的DNA測試更顯示﹐不法商人用來冒充鱷魚的﹐竟然是巨型蜥蜴及蛇肉﹐進食後不但未能止咳﹐更可能令人愈咳愈厲害. and the soup stinks really bad too.....

i bought austin a sweater for school but non of his classmates r wearing it indoor. so he refused to wear naw, might be chinese used to bundle our kids up so they have weaker immunity towards cold weather?? they used to be in same school but austin is too quiet so they put him in esl, i dont think it's fair so i transferred him out naw.

I'm back from HK! It was a very happy trip, I wish I could stay there longer. 2 weeks was too short :p Chloe got sick in Thailand - vomit and fever. But luckily last only 2 days.

Jayne,
The show sounds very good and I want to go to x'mas village too. Are you staying in PA overnight? Is hotel around there expensive? I'm thinking of going to Toronto during New Year weekend though but worry too much snow for the long drive.

All mom, I need help in birthday party idea. It's kind of late but Chloe is really looking forward to blowing candles so I guess I've no choice. Last year I did it in a place similar to Gymboree. I will check out McDonald tonight on Springfield. ChucknCheese was an option but I was told the one in Queens was very dirty. If I can't book anything then I guess I'll just buy a cake and bring to her daycare.

Ahchings,
I just back from HK on Tues. Weather was nice in HK chloe just wore a light jacket. But not sure if it will get much colder soon. How old is your child? Chloe is 3 so not too much to bring. I didn't bring any food/water for her. I just buy milk from 711 and eat adult food. Remember to bring themometer, motrin, and tylenol. Chloe go sick in Thailand and those really helped.

Viv_ma,
I didn't drink that sa-fa-soup. But I heard many people drink it after giving birth.

netjayne,
we might go, the water fireworks seem cool. my kids luv the acrobate stuff. so this is not the same as the one you went in pa?

shamom,
glad to see u back.u took chloe to thailand? how nice. for bday idea, u could skip chuck and cheese in queens. not really that dirty but it's always overcrowded.

ahchings,
u could buy water after security check but cant bring in any before. i really dont think it's necessary, cuz you could go to supermarket or 7 and get watson distilled bottle water ma.

Ahchings,

Bring just one or 2 bottle of water for the baby is ok, use them to mix with the water in HK and let the baby drink it or mix milk with it. You will need to pack it in your luggage, as Alison said you can'g hand carry them.

Alisonli,

for the Echinacea, remember that u're not supposed to take it continously for more than 6 to 8 weeks. take it only when u're sick.

regarding the dried crocodile meat, i think it's hard to get the real ones in US. my 99 got it from HK in very small quantity whenever she visited us. i think it's not allowed to bring it in to US, but she said she would say she didn't know what that was coz her mom gave it to her as a gift in case the custom officer questioned abt it.
she got it from 安記 in HK. and i can tell the difference than the ones i bought from here.

abt the sweater for yr son wearing at school, it's definitely from peer pressure/influence. even though u make him wear it, he might take it off at school. it happens to my boy sometimes.
it's true that the americans don't get used to wear sweater indoor. that's why i told 99 not to let my son wear too much at home.

alisonli,
as all we know, for a person who can maintain BALANCE DIET, they don't need any supplement at all. However, how can we push our kids to have a balance diet, all kids are food picker on certain food. Therefore, they got the multi-vitamin, vitamin gummy bear, vitamin drops, fish oil..etc.
Amanda takes the multi-vitamin +iron drop, she is a chronic anemic girl.. hemoglobin always about 8-9.. which is very low.. (suppose to be more than 12).. she is a milk sucker(she drinks about 30oz milk every day-- beside her diet) because of the calcium intake, it really crash onto her iron intake.. so, the only way is.. after her dinner, we give her the multi-vitamin + iron drop. avoid dairy product for 2 hours.
SHAMOM, alisonli,
it is fine to let kids to take multi-vitamin, just need to keep a mild, supplement is not candy.. you need to tell your peds about it.. plus follow the instruction.

Alisonli,
we use omni nebulizer.. it cost about USD$40.. reliable and the price is reasonable. Amanda and Gabriel are using it if they have respiratory distress.

Thanks for the test form.. we will fill it out and send it on time.. Fat bear said, he doesn't believe that Amanda is high IQ kid.. anyway.. I would like to know.. if she is or not, as I can prepare the appropiate education pathway for her.

for 惡露.. 一般last for about 4 weeks, 人奶媽就更耐..
子宮應about 48 hours 會return to pelvic, 但惡露會continue for almost 4weeks(complete clear)
但飲咗生化湯, 惡露會時間短啲, 我就唔多覺飲咗有乜side effect

vivi_ma,nic,arling,carrie,
Thanks, yah 2 weeks definitely is too short for HK/Thailand/Macua. Too ambitious since haven't gone back for a long time ma. Chloe had fever in Thailand and threw up, may be sea-sick and got cold at the beach. I really like those cold sticky pad that put on forehead to reduce fever, helped me a lot. I didn't get a chance to meet up with Carrie since I only had 3 days overlap with her in HK. I stayed in HK for just 6 days, Thailand 5 days, Macau 2 days.

nillie,

does the iron supplement help boosting up amanda's iron level? can she replace some of her milk intake by soy milk and juice?

it's so nice that NY offer the gifted program in the public schools starting from kindergarten. in CA, i heard that they don't have the gifted program available until 3rd grade or so. that's why a lot chinese parents like to send the kids to the highly academic private schools til 2rd grade and then try to get into the gifted program at the public schools.

i've glanced through the link that Alisonli sent out earlier. for what will be tested for the kindergarten candidates, it seems not too tough wor. however, i think it really depends on your luck to get the 95% accuracy. i think it's worth a try.

SY-Mom,
as I said.. haha.. if we can control the diet and nutrition intake of our kids, we don't need to give them any supplement at all.. haha

Amanda is a dairy milk Baby... she can't live without milk for every 12 hours.
she doesn't take any soymilk.. and she does drink almost 2 serves of juice a day.. that is my limited instead(I don't want her to drink too much juice)

Hiuyeeyee,
can you give me your address+ telephone number thru FB or PM?? we are going to delivery the travel system for you plus a small bouncer which will give you a great relieve when you have a newborn.
I will keep the new born clothes for Socloudy as you have a lot..

Dorisbee,
Can you call me after 4pm any day.. when you have time..? I got something to ask you..
