I have 5 other friends who are currently pregnant all are having boys! I think the chance of having boy is very high this year. I wish I have bb too then can make the word "good" with Chloe. I need to stop day dreaming and get back to work... I am like Socloudy that I don't like surprises just want to find out and start shopping for cute baby outfits blue or pink!
Ho happy ah. Chloe talks more all a sudden this week. I think it's due to the fact that we have been attending many gathering lately. Thanks to you all!!! :-P By interacting with other kids it makes her wanting to express herself more. Now, she can talk to me without me initiating a question or topic. But hopefully she won't be confused when going to daycare next week as it all change to english and no more chinese.
Carrie,
Chloe was also in early intervention program since 21 months. She qualified for 1.5 hours every 2 weeks for language. Her last class ended 2 weeks ago as the instructor said she is doing ok now. Since she was slow in talking, I was very excited to see Chloe talk more all a sudden this week. I think the program is very beneficial. After one class Chloe was able to imitate when I speak. I guess kids listen to stranger more then parents b/c they know they can shrimp us. But as socloudy said, better to do it before 3yrs otherwise school will have record. The program is getting harder to get approved though as budget got cut as told by my service coordinator. If you are interested I can also tell you more when we meet on Sunday.

Jstn & socloudy,
Being a service coordinator sounds very challenging but lots of headache as need to deal with many people. My job sometimes don't need to speak a word in the whole day. Can be quite boring. But my coworkers are very nice, I think I will retire here . I like it here b/c hour is 9-5 and I can work from home some days.
Carrie,
The instructor come to your house for the class. So you can tell the instructor to go to your parent's house if your child is there. For older kids the instr. can even go to the daycare/school gar.
Netjayne,
Glad you feel better now. We are always here to listen or you can express more when we see on Sunday. But I guess your husband will here there to so hard to speak. Every family have a "hard to read bible"..sigh... Relationship with in-laws can be very difficult especially you live together. You said your bro-in-law and 老公夾份供 the house. Since your relationship with them not that great, better to be clear with them finanially. My family has similar situation too and once talk about money it makes thing complicated and not happy easily.

Jstn,
Yah you have a very rewarding job as you can see kids improving. I am very thankful to my service coordinator too since she helped me a lot and always express her concern with my case. I am not as lucky as you. I don't think I can afford to not work and be a sill-lie-lie. I have a mole on my back that means I always have to work :-( . Sun-Foo-Man

Carrie/Junw,
Chloe joined the program at 18 months as recommended by the the ped. Then after the waiting and interview and evaluation etc Chloe started at 21 months. At 18m she spoke about 5 words. But after one class I could see improvement. I think each child develop differently at their own pace, just that as a parent I want to make sure if my child need help I will provide it. The program worked very well for Chloe. Although compare to some kids at her age she doesn't talk that much, but I can see that the gap is not as big as before. She can now communicate with me easier and get less frustrated.
Socloudy,
Corey 27m already can speak A-Z he is very good! How come he can still have so many hrs and get more training hr? Chloe is 32m and she can barely speaks all alphabet and they already cut her service 2 weeks ago.

Vivi_ma & Socloudy,
Me too, I will retire here if they don't fire me. I work for non-profit so pay is not as good as big company. But not as stressful and no need to overtime. People are more family oriented too. My last job was like 9am-9pm and required traveling. No good with kids.

Rubytang,
Try this site http://www.greatschools.net/. On right top corner enter your city to find the nearest school. Then you can call the school and give them the full address to confirm whether you belong to that school or not. You can also check http://www.ed.gov/index.jhtml it has some useful info. Depends on how far you live from school you may get for school bus service.
For your 3 yrs old, depends on when he is borned, he may qualify for pre-k next sept. You should apply around march/april. My daughter is 2.5 now so I'm also preparing her to go next year. I think pre-k is only 1/2 day and it's 5 days a week.
Hiuyeeyee,
My daughter used Dr.Brown fat bottles and never changed to other brand. She was not fussy and no gas, so I guess she liked those bottles. But just a note, when she was 0-1yr, she hated milk. When I fed her, milk always leak from her mouth, so it wet couple tissues to finish a feeding. So I tried other bottles, and different size of nipples, and other formular but still no help. As soon as she turned 1 and changed to cow milk, she loved milk! So I guess she was either not comfortable with the formular or just a picky eater. So you may want to just buy a few to see if your baby likes it first.
I went to Macy's during Thanksgiving weekend, I didn't find polo on big sales either. The polo golf shirt costs $15. I think depends on which store they have different product at different price. But if you have macy's card there are some good deal. They mailed me a 20%off coupon and a $20off coupon. The salesperson let me use both at the same time.
AlisonLi,
Last 2 years halloween I did not let Chloe eat Candies. But this year I will let her have a lollipop probably since she is 3. I will eat the rest of the candies. But I only keep those package that are sealed like chips and chocolate. I heard incidents where crazy people put poison on the candy.

vivi_ma,
Try to buy those that open from the front (monk style) as Carrie suggested. When Chloe was small I only let her wear those since it's much easier. It was pretty scary to change nb from overhead as I was afraid I would hurt her. When babies leave hospital they also wear that style.
Hiuyeeyee,
You and mavis live in Elmhurst right? I also live in Elmhurst on Grand Ave. I can come by to transport the bed so nillie doesn't need to come up. Just make sure your husband is around to carry the stuff hee hee :mrgreen: Just let me know when you want to do it.
