Hi girls!
Was so buggered yesterday, didnt have a chance to post.
SJ - If they go to Petaling Street, Chinatown they can get lots of imitation goods, hehe. Gucci watches etc for $10, t-shirts etc. but you must really really bargain and pretend to walk away!
local food is great, Malay, Chinese, Indian, Western food, very cheap and there are restaurants and hawker stalls (it's safe) open 24hrs. That's why I love going home, i eat and eat and eat. they are everywhere.
They could get a train or a light rail transit from Sentral Station in KL (that area's Brickfields which has yummy food too) and just take a ride and stop and have a look. In KL, they could go the Batu Caves, a limestone cave that has a Hindu temple in it. There are stairs of course. Chinatown and it's surroundings are very day to day. Of cos, most ppl also do the Twin Towers but that's touristy and i think expensive. I think the Selangor Pewter factory is a bit out of town. Ive never been there.
Bukit Bintang area is a bit touristy but has some shopping centres, it's too crowded for me. We only go there to get imitation software etc. hehe. i'll think of other things!
shell - i had a fun time yesterday, we should do it again. hopefully the boys will get used to it and us too, not have to be on our toes all the time.
jolly jumpers - we were told in our mothers group class that they were not recommended as they were dangerous, as the clamp posed a hazard and if it becomes dislodged it could hit the baby on the head or the baby could go flying.
walkers - htey dont recommend the ones that they sit in and walk. it doesnt develop their backs etc, and they could fall down when it gets caught on the carpet, stairs, slippery surfaces like tiles, and ledges.
also both of them seem to ahve babies on their tiptoes and that's not good for their walking development.
they said the walkers wish they push is ok cos they use their feet properly and use thier body weight. but have to be careful with stairs etc.
i tried ahvign a routine but it always goes out of whack when we are out, feeding time, sleeping time. i also tried doing feed, sleep, play etc but it doesnt always work that way. i try to include tummy time, playmat time, nappy free time between feeds. i mean one of each at different feed times, not all once. but it's a bit hard sometimes when you're doing other stuff or he's not interested, and i get stressed that im not doing all the things for his development. so i play it by ear, sometimes i cant include all of it.
like sj - we try to stick to the night routine. bath, feed in bed, cuddles with steve and me, and wrap and in his bassinet. we let him look at his mobile and laugh himself silly, then turn off the bedside light after 10mins if he's still awake and he usually just falls asleep.
i was going to write more but i forget. oh, one of the girls from the mothers group andi are trying to organise to go for mums and bubs movie. that will be fun, and interesting!!
trina - hope you're ok.
