fafa,
Why don't u let fa lui study in kindergarten? What's your plan? Bokbok missed the chance to interview on last Sat. Morning. If LLT doesn't accept his application,i will not let him go to kindergarten too. Maybe I'll consider it again one year later.
Lengma,
Don't say you "去錯2000年4月出世BBo既forum"! Sometimes I also feel the same that other babies seem soooooo smart though I don't think Justin is stupid either! Remember Ching Nam is exceptional! Bok Bok too. Every child is different & learns at a different pace. In the end, I think they will normalize to the mean (reach a plateau) - I am rather "ah Q" haha! Meanwhile, I'll try to make my son happy & has a nice personality (I'm working on it).
sheryl,
What happened to Bok Bok on Sat? He didn't want to get dressed? I took Justin for the interview by myself. I saw many dads went though. I just took it easy as it's quite unlikely for Justin to study at SKH. The teachers kept talking to Justin in Cantonese (though I have told them to use English). So Justin didn't respond much. He sticked to a tractor - the only car in the room & didn't show interest in other toys - kitchen stuff for girls! I don't know if sitting still adds/deducts marks but Justin sat quietly on his chair & I didn't make too much noise, not too enthusiastic, in the interview!!! Anyway, the whole so-called interview took only 10 mins & it's upto the teachers to play observers. They didn't ask questions like Ching Nam's kindergartens! Well, let's see!
Lengma,
See? April 01 mummies are very good! We come here to share the joy of raising our kids, not to show off / intimidate the others. Don't get discouraged. We are lucky that our kids are healthy because I know some children are not born like ours!
Sheryl,
If Bok Bok feels more comfortable at home, you may consider inviting friends with children to visit you at your place such that Bok Bok has no where else to go but to live with it, though I hope he won't ask the visitors to go away! The more he is exposed, the easier for him to overcome stranger anxiety.
fannie,
Take care. I have a chinese doctor who cured my flu after drinking medicine 1 time. I think he is quite good. He is Ho Shu Fun. PM me if u want his details.
Well, let's organize a christmas party for our April 01 BB now! Since I can't offer a place that has play things for our kids, so I called the McDonald's in North Point (it has an indoor playground for kids to run around). It has the following time slots available as of now :
Dec 13 (Sat) 2-3:30pm
Dec 14 (Sun) 12-1:30pm, 2-3:30 & 4-5:30pm*
Dec 20 (Sat) 12-1:30pm, 2-3:30pm, 4-5:30pm
Dec 21 (Sun) 11-12:30pm
The section for birthday party is quite spacious except the slots marked by * which can accomodate only 30 people.
If some of us prefer to stay longer than 1.5 hours, we will have to use 2 names to book consecutively!
This is for reference only. I welcome other suggestions!!!!
Shall we vote for a date & time (& place later) now?
