15 Months Old!

Janelle turned 15 months old today! Wow, another 3 more months, Janelle will be attending school. Mummy had decided to let Janelle start school in first week of Oct 10. Recently Mummy had just bought a backpack for Janelle, preparing Janelle for school!

By right, Janelle should be due for MMR jab today. But Mummy had postponed the jab till further notice. Sharon Yi Yi told Mummy that during her studies, she had did a research that by taking MMR jab before a kid starts to talk, it might have a high chance of autism! Actually Mummy had went to surf the internet and there are some findings that mentioned that autism caused by MMR jab is not valid. But Mummy is still a bit worried and decided to push back the jab another 1-2 months time. After MMR jab, the next jab shall be 5in1 booster during 18 months old. Thus, Janelle needs to take the MMR jab before 18 months so that can take 5in1 booster jab during 18 months old!

Janelle had not started to talk a lot. Janelle only knows a few words like ice, 我不要, 抱抱, fish fish etc. Maybe sometimes Janelle will call for Mama, Papa etc. But Janelle had a habit of calling out the words once or twice and that's it. Janelle will not call for that words again! Janelle talked alot of baby language. And Mummy felt that Janelle's baby language can have more than 2 syllabus! Haha! Everyday Mummy will laugh at Janelle when Janelle talk using baby language as nobody can know what Janelle is talking about! And it can be very funny listening the Janelle's baby language!

Selected Child Care for Janelle!

From the previous post, Mummy will decided the child care for Janelle by end of May 2010. As mentioned previously, Zee Juniors, Honey Tree, Capre Diem @ Bedok Reservior and Our Junior Schoolhouse are those few child care centres that Mummy had selected.

2 weeks ago, Mummy brought Janelle to Capre Diem @ Bedok Reservoir, Zee Juniors and Our Junior Schoolhouse. Janelle doesn't show any separation anxiety at all! Mummy can just leave Janelle alone with the children and teachers while Mummy walk around the school with the principals. Janelle can interact well with the teachers and children without Mummy's around. Mummy felt happy about it. Mummy hopes that Janelle will keep up this good work when Janelle joins in October 2010.

After the visits to those few child care centres, Mummy had decided to enroll Janelle in Zee Juniors. Mummy really likes the environment and teaching methods over at Zee Juniors. Most important, Janelle likes the school too and Sharon Yi Yi is one of the teachers there. Thus, Mummy doens't have to worry too much about Janelle being bullied etc. But judging from Janelle's behaviour during she was at Zee Juniors for 30 mins, Mummy and Sharon Yi Yi felt that she might be the one bullying others kids!

Mummy and Daddy mentioned that they got to work double hard to earn more $$$ as Zee Juniors school fees is not cheap! For a full day child care, it costs $1,200 per month (Before subsidies)!
