Term 3: Fifth Lesson with JGC

Yvette woke up early today, 8.30 am. I don’t dare to take it lightly this round although I am still very tired.

I cleaned myself, tidied the bed and brought her out to the living hall. Since it was still very early, I take my time preparing our morning. We left home around 10.15 am. We were definitely the first one in class to reach JGC.

As far as I like the “idea of play” brought forward by JGC but today I felt that the play time was extremely long. We only spent 40 to 45 mins for “serious” learning. The rest was all play.

What we did today was Crayon/Chalk Rubbing and we had a type of cereal biscuit for snacks. Yvette loves the snack a lot and even feeding me.

I noticed Yvette was extremely cranky today. I also noticed Yvette kept biting herself. I knew that was mainly due to teething. Having 4 molars at the same time is NOT a joke. And due to her crankiness, she needs to be pacified from time to time. She needs to be nursed too. She came forward to me and pulled my top. And luckily, I am allows to nurse Yvette in class.

After class, we went down to Raffles Place to meet my hubby and SIL for lunch. Yvette dozed off after a few mouthful of porridge.

Food I introduced to Yvette @ 13mths onward

3 days rule for testing new food still apply to Yvette even though turning one has given me a green light to let her try whatever food I deem fit. Honestly I tested Yvette on food but not fruits. I find fruits are pretty safe for a year old baby to eat but dare not to take any risk for food. Fruits she tried were Cherry and Lychee.

Shitake Mushroom, Prawn and Peanut are foods Yvette tried last month. No allergic found.

Beside new food being introduced, I gave Yvette 2 new cereals and 2 new drinks last month too. And they are:

1. Milo Ball Cereal (I treat this as a new snack for her. I got to know this thru Nic.)
2. Milo Drink (Not the packet type, I only give packet Milo once when we were given free during our outing at Science centre. Packet Milo contains preservatives though the sugar content is acceptable to me. I usually scoop one tablespoon and dilute them with water, no sugar is added for Yvette.)
3. Bixies Cereal (A gift from Ashlyn’s mum when she was here with Ashlyn for the play date.)
4. Rizz Rice Milk (We got it from the event we pop-ed by after our library trip last Sunday. It is a nutritious beverage enriched with roasted brown rice, inulin (prebiotic properties), soy protein, calcium, all natural ingredients, freshly prepared, absolutely no lactose, no preservatives, low sugar content & no trans fat. Unfortunately, they don’t have a website for their product. If you are keen getting one for your child, you need to visit them @ Great World City Cold Storage B1-18/19 unit 7. Or you can call them @ 6736 0455. They offer free delivery if you order 6 bottles from them @ S$14. 250ml per bottle.)

Yvette loves the Milo ball and Milo a lot but not the Bixies Cereal and Rizz Rice Milk . She demonstrated great liking for the drink that why we brought 3 bottles for her to try. But after giving her for the past few days, the result is always me finish up the drink for her.

Beep! Beep! An SMS from Yvette

Mama, I know I am due for walking but don’t worry for me. I will walk when I am ready as I am just being lazy!

I wonder she really heard my deepest feeling for her development on walking! On one hand I undersand they have their bio-clock but on the other hand I just can’t help not to worry about it! My aunt told me only start worrying if she does not take her first step by 18 mths.

Let’s see!
