Cookery for boys?

Why not? Playthings shouldn't be stereotyped......

Hi all

Its my first post!

Maybe i will start off with my baby girl xinran. Believe it or not, i dreamt of her when i was camping with my odac members at endau rompin national park in Malaysia, 2 years ago. Thats why the last character is "ran" which means nature in chinese.

She is now 5and half months old can now roll and loves listening to music. She will even protest when she's not brought to the dining table while we are having our dinner!

She raise her arms when she wants to be picked up and gives me a pat on the back :P

Getting your child/children to love eating fruits/vegetables

Saw these 2 articles in Zaobao yesterday,we could learn a few tips from the experts:

My boy (touch wood) so far likes vegetables,we used to make cute munching "sounds" and even make up a song (just put in the vegetables as part of the "lyrics") Decorating the vegetables in his plates works sometimes too. He likes eating anyway and always show interest in what adults eat,so we let him try a bit of this and that."Strange foods" that he doesn't mind eating include onions,black fungus,mushrooms (dong1 gu1) and medicines (YES! Don't know why,he likes to shake the bottles and gulp the medicines in glee......) And,you have to praise him when he eats vegetables and fruits,praises work..........it works for students too :D

Gallop Stable

Hi!  Have u guys visited Gallop Stable at Pasir Ris Park?

It has been one of my boy's favourite!  Lots of fun filled activities available - feed/stroke the pony, pony rides, riding lessons...  Fantastic hang out during weekends!!

Bonding with your child

Just made 2 discoveries recently:

(A) Jingxuan must have learnt something from his Speech and Drama Class at the Childcare Centre. He pretends that he is brushing before he actually brushes his teeth!! Also, he usually carries the stool to the basin so that he can stand on it to brush his teeth. Today, he actually pretends that he is carrying the stool to the basin!!! Good, think I'll teach him some drama skills, hahahaha......

(B) Treasure every minute during bedtime to chat with your child/children before he/they sleep. Besides telling bedtime stories or singing or reciting poetries, you could also recall with him happenings during the day/recently, inculcating values as you discuss with him.
