Who says Masak Masak Toys are meant for girls?

I corrected Daddy when he stopped me from buying the Kitchen Cooking Set for Little Vance. I even showed Daddy the article from Young Parents magazine (my parenting "bible").

Whenever we shop at Ikea, Little Vance will say he wants to play with the mini-kitchen set displayed at the kids' corner. Even at Ah-ma's house (Little Vance's), whenever my MIL is cooking, she will ask him to sit along the kitchen and he will start to "display" out the utensils, cooking ware on the floor and start to "cook"! Yes, he will cook for all of us. There was once, he even cooked for his "imaginative little baby"! After cooking and serving the dishes, he will collect the plates and utensils back and start to "wash" them!


As a mummy, I am really surprised by his "playing actions", he knows that after eating, he has to wash them! Hmmm...


So when I saw the Kitchen Cooking Set, I'm very determined he would love it. When Daddy said it's meant for girls, I told him "No, this set is ment for boys, the pink-coloured one is meant for girls" LOL! After debating with Daddy and Little Vance kept holding on to the Kitchen Cooking Set, he even carried it and walk around the Hall, oh forgot to mention, we were at the John Little Sale at Singapore Expo, we BOUGHT it! It feels good when you won the debate!!! The thing I love about Daddy is, he understands my good intentions for our son. He still respect my decision as a Mummy! Woohooo~~


I think some toys are really good for the kids because the things they learned from playing them really surprises you!

Discovered another list of FREE Samples!

After I shared the list of Free Samples of Baby Diapers and Milk Powder, I realised I received many readers on my post/blog.

Was reading another Mummy's blog and came across one of her blog post listing the free samples Mummies can get from the various merchants.

From milk powder, diapers to sanitary pads. Check out Busy Mommy's Free samples!

Milk Powder

Abbott - You can get free samples of Similac, Gain, Grow, Pediasure, Isomil milk powder.  If you are expecting, they will also send you this booklet on “Naming your baby”. Sign up as their member too! They will send you a 400g tin of milk powder when your baby is 6 months old and 1 year old.  And I must say they are very prompt in this too :)
Dumex – You can get samples on their Mamil Gold series or the Nutrakids Cereal if your kid is ready for semi solids. For pregnant ladies, you can get the Mamil Mama! :D
Enfa – Here’s the Enfapro, Enfagrow & Enfakid or Enfamama milk powder. If you sign up as the club member, they will send you a 400g tin of milk powder when your baby is 6 months old. After which, they will send 2 packets of the 1 year old milk powder.  But if I remember correctly, their membership has an expiry date.

Fabrics for Little Vance's Pillow and Bolster Cases!

Like other mummies, I often need to source for fabrics to make pillow and bolster cases for our little ones. Ooops correction, I only source but the one making it, is my MIL.

Here are some of the fabrics I bought to make cases for Little Vance.




Tips on choosing fabrics:

1. The quality of the fabric must not turn fluffy (起毛).

2. Do not choose bright colours. If at night they don't sleep, you know why! :) Always select light coloured fabrics.

3. It's advisable to purchase 1.5 yards because if you purchase1 yard, the remaining cloth will go to waste because it's not enough to make another case. (This advice is from my MIL!) I believe those who sew will know.

Nowadays, it's hard to find nice and cute fabrics especially those with nice cartoons. Normally those that cost $3.50 per yard or less, their quality is of the lower grade. Those I purchased cost me $8 per yard and they are from Japan, according to the Boss!

I normally purchase from People's Park in Chinatown.....

Updated: I bought more fabrics! Check it out

Little Vance's 1st set of library books!

It's time for Little Vance to get in touch with lots of books. In the beginning, they were books for Baby such as a big letter "A" with a big picture illustrating an Apple. But now they are too simple for Vance. It's time he mess himself with the books!

It has been a long time since I stepped into the National Library, I think since poly days. Am amazed at how quick the library card was issued through the machine and it's hassle-free.

The first set of books borrowed for Little Vance!

1.  Tell me about the building site (Acc.No. B20654790K)
 
This book is perfect for Little Vance because he loves tractors! And this book have flip overs and matching activities.

2.  Incy wincy spider (Acc.No. B21352961G)

Vance learned this song when he attended his gym classes at The Little Gym. I went to Youtube and showed him the video on Incy Wincy Spider. I still remembered there was once he said, "Mama, I want Incy Spider." I was like "Huh? What?" I just couldn't figure out what little Vance was trying to tell me. After a few repetition, I finally understood. "Oh, INCY SPIDER!!!" And when I came across this book, I immediately grab it. This book illustrated how Incy was washed down by the rain while he was trying to make his way to the top and he didn't give up every time he was washed down. Finally, the sunshine came and dried up all the rain and Incy finally made his way up to the top! It was really a nice book. The nice illustrations make Vance pay attention when I was explaining why Incy didn't gave up. Hmmm.... Nice...
 
3.  My first wheel book of colors (Acc.No. B22099365C)

This book is perfect but slightly too simple for Little Vance. At first he was attracted to the book by spinning of the wheel but later on, it doesn't interest him. The purpose of the wheel is to spin to the colour that match the colour of the picture. For instance, Apple, so junior will spin to red!
 
4.  I see me (Acc.No. B22350991I)
 
This book by Little Eisenstein is much more for babies because the mirror will arouse their curiosity. I still remember when Vance first looked himself into the mirror and he started laughing at himself. Maybe he finds it funny seeing himself in the mirror. Subsequently, whenever he stand in front of the mirror, he will start dancing and smiling to himself! Just like me when I was young, hahaha.....

5.  Brush, brush, brush (Acc.No. B22252089H)

This book is a good start to introduce your little one into brushing their teeth. Why do they need to brush their teeth and how they should brush their teeth! Vance got attracted to this book as well because it's something he does every morning. There was once when he was watching Mr Bean Animated Series, he refused to brush his teeth and coincidentally, this book was just beside him, I quickly grabbed the book and showed him what will happen if he doesn't brush his teeth and immediately, he open his mouth!

6.  Good-bye pacifier (Acc.No. B22273731E)

This book helps parents out there to illustrate to their little ones why they should stop taking their pacifier!

NLB also gave out a set of Baby Journal and Baby Cd to Mummies!
