rose-mag,
I will go for the second one.
reason 1: 夠光猛
reason 2: 小朋友大啲, 會同spencer 有多啲communication and social skill development. 話晒都進入ego, 唔似10months old 時仲係igo stage.
reason 3 ...

Nillie,
係呀，我比較prefer第二間，地方大同小朋友多係佢優勝的地方。琴日同我媽咪專登check下由屋企要行幾耐先到，去到樓下聽到D小朋友笑聲同叫聲，我阿媽話咁D小朋友應該都幾開心。我老公叫我媽咪去第一間睇過，媽咪都奇怪小朋友各自玩，一個3歲男仔坐喺梳化睇book，另一個兩歲女仔坐另一邊，一個7個月大BB企係個owner husband 身邊，一個10個月大BB女瞓咗（she's in a swing and the husband pull her all the time, this baby girl also does not take bottle before. The owner told me that she knows how tired my mom is to take care of Amanda. She put this baby girl in a swing and sooth her to sleep when she refuses to eat and go to sleep), 一個一歲大男仔瞓喺playpen（佢係醒嘅）。有個家長drop off 小朋友，個owner叫個家長唔好上去，佢自己同小朋友上樓。我同老公係下午1：30去睇，大部份BB瞓咁，暖氣熱到Spencer 同Amanda 面仔紅晒，我媽咪就朝早8：45去，個暖氣又係好勁，果幾個細佬咁quiet，媽咪話唔係好正常，通常小朋友會走嚟走去，可能呢度地方太細啩。今晚，我地會睇多一間西人托兒所，離屋企6－7個街口，全英文，睇完就會決定。跟住我地就要幫Spencer報定pre-school，因為好多間 waiting list都好長，老公又picky, 肯定又有排搵，估唔到呢度比起香港搵學校煩嘅程度都差唔多。

Besides croc meat, 椰子燉田雞
is also good for asthma.
Ingredients:
1 old coconut (the brown ones, not 椰青)
1 frog (fresh is better than frozen)
1 tiny slice of ginger

Steps:
1.
Get the juice of the coconut out (there are 3 dots on the top of the coconut, use a clean screw driver to break 2 of the dots and let out the juice into a bowl)
2.
Cut the top of the coconut off with a saw (my c6 bought an electrical saw just for this because it’s really hard to do it manually)
3.
Clean the frog and cut it into a few pieces
4.
Put the frog and ginger into the coconut
5.
Filter the juice and put it back to the coconut (there will be some leftover juice since the frog has taken some space)
6.
Put back the top of the coconut. Basically you are using the coconut as a 燉盅。
7.
燉 2 hours

The soup tastes good and it’s much cheaper than croc meat. But it’s hard to find good coconut and prepare it as a燉盅. Many coconuts in the grocery stores are 發mo. Also it’s rather scary to prepare the frog (I’m more used to it now, but still…), but it works pretty well. A couple of my cousins on my father side also had asthma, but they drank the soup from Oct to Feb for two years in a row when they were a kid. They haven’t had any asthma attack since then (they are now in their late 20’s). So I guess it’s 斷尾.

My 4-year old boy also has asthma. He drank 1/3 bowl of the soup every day last winter and last spring. Depending on the size of coconut, we prepare the soup once every 3-5 days. We are giving him the soup again this winter.
He’s very easy to get a cold and will cough forever. We need to give him inhaled steroid and albuterol (in some cases he even needs oral steroid).
This year I notice that he coughs much less and recovers faster.
I don’t think the soup really cures or stops the cough, but instead it helps to make the 氣管stronger and less sensitive to cold air and cold drinks, etc. Try it out!

Nillie,
pedi said albuterol will make the kid hyperactive. i was thinking might be that's why andrew is so hyper..

嘩，你咁夠膽。田雞，食就好味，叫我整就‥‥最好唔好啦。Justin 有asthma, 你就千祉唔好俾雪涷生果俾佢食，特别係提子，其實所有涷嘢都最好少食，我細佬細個果陣就差D有asthma，醫生仲話好難搞，媽咪就不停煲唔同湯水俾佢飲，又禁止我地食涷嘢，生果一定唔雪，雪糕就一定係喺食完飯之後食，話有飯氣養肚先wor，唔知係唔係，不過細佬就真係好易咳，依家大個都算健康okay啦。

Alisonli,
I believe in the ADD/ADHD therapy.
When I was in hk, I saw all those parents how they suffered from it (whole family. a severe ADD/ADHD case, the kid slept less than 2 hours a day, screaming, damaging the house and themselves non-stop). The drug can calm them down, and help them focus to the task what they are working on. However, misuse of ADHD medication will have the risk of suicide.. Kid under 18years old, should be under close supervision on ADD/ADHD therapy.

The best time to go to Australia is after Sept and before Dec.. the weather is perfect! in Sydney and Melbourne. when I came to US.. I took 24 hours flight from Melbourne to New york.. and need to stop in hk for transfer.. some ppl will choose to stop at LA too.
Fresh croc meat is yummy..

rose-mag,
me too la.. 99 and my mom said.. 田雞 has so many worms inside.. so they did not buy that for me to eat.. even it is very "bo"
About the day care.. any clue yet??
main key is .. find the one you are comfortable with.. and you make sure, Spencer will be happy there.. not anything with good English skill or perfect schedule.. we are not in hk, our kids do not need to suffer those..
when Spencer turns 3.. then send him to a qualified pre-K.. ^o^
we have lots of time to choose from now.

Spencer has wakened up Amanda (he pounded on her crib and screamed) so it is easier to write in English now ~sigh~ I also think that it's important to go to the place that Spencer likes and is happy with plus the caregivers I can trust. I found one before but this daycare center does not have opening now and there's a waiting list. So, I need to look for homecare. For me, I want the homecare ran by the owner and he or she hires people to help rather than just husband and wife. In case that there's anything I suspect, nobody will tell me the truth. Also, I want someone who really care about childcare and early development but it is so difficult to find a place like that. The bottom line is safety and basic care of the child. My hubby asked me why don't I run my own. Well, after I finished all the required education on child care and get the license to open one, Spencer and Amanda possibly are already in preschool or kindergarten. I have certain demand on taking care of my kids and that's why I want to be a stay-home-mom before.

Rose-mag,
Tell your husband.. not many people who had all those education will eventually stay at home to be a stay home mom.. haha
like me.. after I took the studies of child care and early development plus psychological on childhood and 4 years bachelor degree on nursing.. I did not want to stay at home at all, because that will be a waste.. hee hee.. I would like to go back and work in hospital..
To run a day care is a BUSINESS, once it is a business, then you will know..
as an owner, what you expect from day care, that will not be the main issue for you to run a daycare..however, finance, student ratio, monthly expense are the most important items you care about.. NOT .. how good care of the care giver provide, will kid have enough happiness at school. as a owner.. you care more about something else.. therefore, we can't be the person who runs a daycare..:mrgreen: ---> to be a owner.. it's all about budget..

Nillie,
係呀，我同我老公講興趣同工作係兩回事，湊自己小朋友同開托兒所係唔同嘅，正如你所講，it's business, 要睇budget，做生意要有profit, 如果唔係就做唔住，以我地依家屋企係好難搞。其實我細個志願係做護士，不過因為揀咗文科，學校又唔俾自修生物，所以冇做到，後來入到大學就更加冇諗。嚟到美國睇到healthcare workers 咁有前境，唔慌冇工做，我又心思思想去讀，但一讀就要起碼三四年，我已經就嚟40歲，怕好難可以讀番書，我D Phy Chem Bio 已經俾番晒先生好多年，兩個小朋友又咁細，我驚到時讀讀吓搞唔掂就仲衰，加上三藩市好嘅護士training course 唔係咁易入到。我同我隻肥佬講，佢話如果我想就去做，concentrate & focus 做到為止，佢可以頂得順，點知佢咁講完我仲唔敢。可能走去讀accounting 就算，我一向maths 都幾好，以前都有讀過book-keeping。

rose-mag,
child care 同姑娘都係我嘅志願.. 但因為家人病痛多, finished child care studies 1年左右, 18歲就要give up 個career, 走去讀nurssing 照顧家人..
肥bear 亦想我run 1間港式day care, (as 我qualify 去run day care here, 我有child care 牌同RN 牌)...
香港system 嘅daycare 連日本, 台灣, norway嘅觀摩團參觀後都拍案叫絕.. HK 社署day care mostly 行montersorri 教學法.. 以"learn from experience"為本.. 行project approach.. 而家Amanda 嘅day care 都係咁做.. every Friday, Amanda有show and tell.. 就要佢呢個4歲妹妹仔prepare 個talk 同present in front of the class 1 分鐘.. 我哋weekday 就喺屋企practise.. 我好緊張"家(家長)教(學校教學)合一" 家教合一做得唔好就害苦個小孩子..
我唔expect 老師教哂Amanda 做人做學生, 但我唔pre-view school work, 我教Amanda something she can't get from school. 我唔付出, 個女只會學壞..

Nillie:
Since the past 1-2 weeks, Terence has been more fuzzy during feeding ... he's OK in the beginning, but when he's halfway through, he starts to turn his head and refuse to drink ... sometimes if i insist to feed, he still drinks a bit but eventually he cries out loud ... he used to take up to 5 to 5.5oz ... since this fuzzy behavior, he is only willing to drink 3-4oz ... about the same time, we change the nipple to a medium-flow type designed for 3-6 months babies ... Terence was ok when we changed the nipple, but now this problem happens ... do you think it's because of the nipple or there might be some other reasons?

Terence is now on Alimentum and the medication (antibiotics) has stopped for three days ... as advised by pedi, Terence takes Poly vi sol with iron once a day ... his poo and pee are OK

rose-mag,

if u're interested in getting an accounting degree, probably u can consider golden gate university. it's not a "brand-name" school, but their accounting and MBA programs are not too bad. actually a lot of students at their master degree programs are in management levels (they just wanna get an extra credential). so u might have some kinda connections there to get into the field early.
however, it's a private college and the tuition is more expensive compared to the state colleges. u can apply for the loan if u want though.

one more thing - if i were u, i probably wouldn't go for the CPA at this stage, coz u still hv 2 young kids. it's very tough to get the audit hours after u've passed the CPA exam (the requirements might have been changed though). my friends worked like a dog before they got licensed, coz they needed to beg the CPA firms to give them audit hours and some of them were kinda underpaid becoz of that. but once they got the CPA license, they all got decent positions at work.

Jstn,
Have you burp Terence before an bewteen meal?
Do you still continue the colic medication?
when Terence gets into 3-4 months, he may have 2 probelms to deal with
1. teething
2. 厭奶期
that will make him fuzzy..
Check with his gum if you can find any sign of teething, saliva dripping..
for 厭奶期.. he will recover in a few days.

i certainly hope so. in 2nd grade, he would tell the teacher that he had no pencil when everyone already finished writing...and would make all kids in his table playing with him instead of listening in class...so his teacher put him in the front sit facing the teacher alone. well, now he is finally sitting with other kids hahah..i guess may be the 3rd teacher just give up on him.. ;pppp yup you are right, more boys r having this problem than gals.
