Chicken Pox and Missy

there was a chicken pox outbreak in misssy's childcare for the past 2 weeks. many of her friends in palygorup, her class (Nursery) and kindergarten are down with the virus.. im not THAT worry actually as missy already taken her jab for chicken pox and lil brother too.

The jab did not mean they wont get it but the attack wont be that bad it'll likely be much milder than for those who did not get the jab. I was informed by her teacher of the same thing too.

And wednesday evening. we noticed two spots on missy body.. one on her back, one on her right ye lid.. it's like pimple/rashes.. no bubbles inside.. so LGG checked and say did not look like chicken pox. so Thursday we send her to school as usual.. but teachr identified it as early stage of CP. so e brought her to see doc. Doc said cannot confirm, if it is also mild one as she already taken her vaccination, unlikely is CP.. mm..

anyway, she has to stay home for 7 days. no school. her school enrichment classes were cancelled for July for the outbreak.

Up to today (3 days later), no new spots on missy body.. so we feel relief too and lucky thing we took the jab. else she will be suffering now with the itching and rdness and also fever.

Phew !

School is fun

It was like one week ago that missy still crying daily in the morning, refusing to go to school. but this week, she just all the sudden, no more crying, willing to go to school and tell us she likes her frens and her new teacher..

LGG and i simply scratching head, as we have been asking for feedback from her teachers for this situation and in have personally called up theur principle to ask for assistance on this.

well, i guess, children just out-grow "situation".. am happy it has passed.

School Not Fun

This is the answer missy gave me when she talked to me in the phone this morning. she again refuse to leave home to go to school, which is just downstair.

It has been like this since May, crying in the morning. refuse to follow her daddy to school, ended up, grandma has to bring her down with didi.. with so much coaxing and all.. even promise rewards and all..

till after so much talking before sleep, rewards dangling.. still she cry and refuse to go to school. The only thing in her school is the changing of her English tacher and also her chinese teacher is on 2 weeks leave now due to her sons all got HFMD, all three sons..

so,missy dun feel comfortabke with other class teacher/relief teacher .. and her new English teach (third one) is not as friendly and not as passionate as her teacher Yda. sigh. talkng abt quality of teacher. the first day she took over, missy missed her nap which was never happen before.

teacher Yda said it's a passing phase as there are some of her classmates too been cring like this , one since Jan, but all ok le.. now, missy start.. sigh.

So, just finger cros, missy will adapt to the new teacher , their style and all.

My Family

Her family members that she told her teacher..so cute, she include maid too, as always.

Missy Happy Days in School

Pictures say it all.. her teacher is sharing their pictures in facebook. which i get to see what they do ins school. cool isn't ?
im glad to see how missy is enjoying her school activities with her friends.


Missy is doing the arts on clothes with her teacher..




missy on water play, story reading, cooking session and she is eating the product of their baking.. and her presentation on theme of the lesson for the week/month



Sand play, outdoor exploring ..check out the bus stop, see bus and recognise their neighbourhood. take a lift.. check out the void desk..


Happy happy days in school !

Missy new school

Missy is happy with her new school, she likes her Ouyang Lao shi 9who is just 21 yo) and her teacher Washida (who is getting married Dec) i have a good chat with teacher Washida yesterday while waiting for missy when she is in her Kindermusic class

Some photos taken from outside when i peep at her.. she is having her meal. the one with her eating was taken by her teacher, as the teacher saw me taking, so she said ' i help you" then bring the phone in to snap at missy, missy immediately said ' ei ei, mummy's phone".. haaa.. teacher said " no, this is my phone" .. missy insisted, " No, mummy's phone".. haaa but she did not see me, as teacher bring the phone out to pass to me.



So far, teacher commented that missy is doing great, she is very participative and she is a vey passionate girl, she will hug, and when one of her classmate crying (separation anxiety), she will go forward ad give him a hug ans tell him " Dun cry dun cry, later your mummy come" .. teacher told me candidly, haaa..

School organise music class with Kinder music, ABCmusic and Me from April, missy started her lesson yesterday, it's quite fun, the 9 children all having great fun, the teacher from Kindermusic can really sing. They listen to music/sound and try to identify the items, play with musical instrument, hand actions..

Shall see what they do next week :0)

But, since last Thursday (her first day in new childcare), she refuse to drink her Gain IQ milk. until today she is still not drinking, we all scratch head, she is someone who lovesss her milk and suddenly just said the milk not nice and refuse to drink. so i ask the school what milk they give them during breaksfast (with cereal/ bread0, they said Nespray. so i bought Nespray for her, surprisingly, last night when i made one cup for her, she finish it all. OMG.. what happen ?

Well, LGG and i just let her be, since she likes Nespray, we just let her have Nespray Full Cream milk. No point forcing her drinking her Gain IQ, cos she will even throw up when we keep asking her to drink.

Children's behaviour really hard to understand sometimes..maybe she just out-grow her toddler milk ???

Farewell for Missy

Missy reaches 30 month old 2 weeks back and she can come to the playgroup below our home. SOOSoo convenient.

so on her lst day in her childcare, i take some pictures with her teacher and her friends.. only few left, some either have gone home or did not come to school. there are 16 of them actually..

So the chocolate left quite many, i just let the teacher distribute among themselves.

The Malay teacher is Missy's English teacher and her favourite.. Teacher Diyana. The chinese teacher is Ling Lao shi, she replaces Hou Lao shi after Hou Lao Shi was transferred to K1/K2 below our home.

One more new occassion for missy, as she doesn't seem to understand why i need to give chocolates to her friends and gifts for her teachers.. and take pictures.. well, she doesn't understand now, but at least when she knows next time, i can show her the photos and she maybe able to recall something abt her days in the childcare ;)

CNY 2010

Today Missy's childcare is going to have a small celebration for cNY. each child is to bring 2 oranges for exchange, we do not buy any mandarine oranges so i substitute ir with oranges instead.. muahahha.. anyway, they don't mind..

past 2 days saw this red tube dress in Isetan, so cute.. cant resist it and bought it for missy.. see how missy who looks like a small adult in her tube dress.. we shall wear this during cny.

Today i let her wear her poney red dress, which she wore during her birthday, her teacher can recognise this dress (from photo brought to school for their lesson). and wonder why she pose this way today.. must be learning from some kids in childcare again.. *beh tahan*

This will be missy's third CNY ! Gong Xi Gong Xi~!

Daily routine

Weekday, my daily routine is almost the same.. so shall reocrd my daily routine before my second bb arrives and compare the changes.

Monday to Friday (missy's going to childcare)

615am : Get up ( if missy never gets up earlier than this)

630am: bathed and prepare breakfast for LGG & myself. Maid usually will prepare the ingredients , thins like fruits, or egg/ham etc. and make ready missy's bottle/bag to school.i will have my milk and fruits at home

7am: usually, by now, missy will have her morning feed of milk and ready to brush teeth, change into her school uniform. LGG will be bathing by now

7:15 to 730am: entertain missy with whatever, like tie her hair, or some short reading/drawing. LGg will be ready to go to work by now

730 to 745am: LGG, me, maid will bring missy down to school i will leave half way to take bus, LGG & maid bring missy to childcare, which is opposite.

815am: reach office, have my breakfast, usually bread

4:30pm to 515pm: leave office, take bus go home and pick missy, with maid waiting for me at bus stop.

530pm: usually, we will be at home by now, i will make apple juice for missy or some green bean soups, maid prepared earlier. maid will be preparing dinner now

6:30pm: maid will bath missy, while i also bath.

7pm: i feed missy dinner and we watch some tv.

730pm to 8pm: LGG will be home for dinner, and i will have mine together. while missy will either drink her soup or mess around.

8:15pm tp 9pm: time to get missy to her room, LGG will read story book for missy, feed missy her night feed, she will usually doze off by 9pm

9pm to next morning: i will sleep along with missy. LGG do whatever he likes until his bed time at midnight.


so, you see.. i basically live my life with missy, i dun have much personal time to do many things now. i wonder what will happen when new bb comes. maybe cos im pregnant so i need more rest. maybe i can sleep later to catch up on things.. my study table is piling up again.. sob.

LGG daily report

Ever since Novermber 2009, we have changed our schedule by letting LGG bringing Missy to childcare in the morning, and i pick her up from childcare in the evening.

shall record more.. so every week, we are still dealing with missy's morning mood whether she is refusing to go to school or happy..

HFMD 2

ok..After my last post on little missy's HFMD, we have had the worst week this week. starting from Monday, she was left at home under the care of maid and her grandpa while we continue to go to work, she appear fine in the morning, she still drink her milk before i left to work.her last feed was 9am.. after that she did not take in anymore food , not even fluid.

when i came back, i was told that she keep complaining pain inside her mouth, crying and refuse any form of food. i was angry. what the hell are the "adult" doing at home ?? cant they try some way to feed her some water or something? they din even call me, just keep carrying her and sooth her.. but never try ways and means to feed her something. well.. what should i expect right ? i smsed LGG, he said try some yogult ot vitagen. so i let missy choose, she shoose yogult. then slowly slowly she finished the whole bottle of yogurt and almost one bottle of her water, which i feed her using cup. *relief*

then, the whole night she is crying on and off, refusing milk/water. obviously, i didn sleep the whole night trying to sooth her.

ok. cant work this way. SOS my dera mum. she is coming over the next day. mum came in, my SAVER ! i went to work as usual. mum manage to get her to drink but by bit using straw , force feed actually, to keep her from dehydration. It's such a pain to see our child suffer, her ulcer inside her mouth started to form and even on the tip of her tongue. the blisters on her fet and buttock and hand started to appear.

Mum gave her some "shi gua suang" and "zhen zhu fen".. force feed. then use all tricks to get her drink. missy is still not feeling well, she keep clinging on mum. so mum decided to stay overnight. we feed her vitagen , then she even finish her whole package of cheese buscuit, we tot at least she eats something, dun care what. we thought, maybe the coolness of the vitage/yogurt sooth her ulcers and numb it awhile, so missy can start drinking. after awhile she refuse any food again.

At night, when she cry, we use straw to feed her water, she complaint but at least she go to sleep after some moisture in her mouth, else her lips are cracking, too dry.

On wednesday. things seem to be much better, mum manage to get missy to eat soem porridge, she drinks more water. and mum went home in the evening. LGG and i attend to her at night. she drinks her milk that night. * RELIEF *

after 3 nights of not enough sleep at night, i really dunno what am i doing at work.. haaa.. when boss talk to me, my head is blank.. dunno what he said. paiseh.

Then, thursday. she is all normal-self. i still can see some ulcer on the side of her tongue, but inside her mouth, the red spots have gone. phew.. her blisters on fet/hands/buttock are drying up.

This is the most scariest viral infection. children are suffering so much and parents too, I really hope this never happen again.

Stupid childcare .. if i have choice, i wont put my child in cc but do i have a choice now ? sigh. my poor missy.

still have ulcer on missy's tongue and the clister on her foot are drying up


normal-self missy, tryng to imitae her pig to make the nose.. some similaries ? muahha. she is born in pig year, of course alike..

HFMD ?

today teacher found some litle tiny red dots inside missy's upper jaw. it's little red dots which they suspect is symptoms for HFMD. so we brough her home and observe her.

Tmw got to bring her to doc to confirm. for chinese med, they just say this is heaty. for western doc, they will just prescribe some antibiotics. nothing much they can do, as it will heal by itself. hopefully missy's red dots wont turn into ugly ulcer.. else she will have problem feeding. tt's what happened to one of her SM's classmate.

So, we have been seeing doctor on weekly basis now. from quarterly to monthly now weekly. faint.busy parents and poor missy.

She is still ok. can eat/drink. appear normal. so shall see tmw how.Today while accompanying me to see gyane, manage to snap her photos in front of some Xmas deco.
she just refuse to look at camera.

Virus attacking

Going to childcare at tender age means we are exposing missy to viruses that her young body is learning to fight and sometimes failed.

So, Missy has been down with flu and fevere in August (first month in childcare), September (the worst, missy has cough and phlegm for the very first time), then November (fever+slight running nose and cough, which cause her to vomit when she is unable to spit the phlegm out) her fever can go to 38.7 deg we are so worried. But, lucky thing after the medicine, she is back to normal.

Look at her, fever on thursday, and on friday, she is jumping up and down..poor girl that she has to go through these. and at the same time, more molar teeth are poping out. i spotted two on her lower right jaw and one right.



shoo shoo. go away all viruses.. keep my missy healthy and strong at all time !

One more incident last week, it was all my fault, we were eating selar fish, those nasi lemak fish. which we fried. i thought, it's ok to give missy instead of her usual salmon/cod/thread.. must have some variety right ? and what happened ?? i was so careless and never thought of the fish bones.. selar has very small bones, which i overlooked, missy was choked on the bone on my second feed. we brought her to KKH , did xray and lucky thing, the bone was out i guess, cos cannot be detected. it was after missy cough so hard and she spit some saliva which has blood strips.. doc said the bone could have been coughed out or just being swallowed down. as xray cant detect the bone and missy is feeding and normal.

sigh. so, got to be very careful. even with salmon, must be checked. i got a shock of my life as i feel this could be prevented 100%. my carelessness causes discomfort to my child and worst if it turned out serious.

Pheww..i MUST practise cautiouness when feeding my child esp fish. any fish.

Missy in her school uniform

muahaha.. mushroom head in school uniform. hee.cute.

HFMD

Missy been out from school for nearly two weeks in September, due to her flu and school with 6 cases of HFMD. so, we parents paid one whole month of school fees, but child have to stay at home half of the time.

OCtober.. today. 12 oct. school announced 5 more cases of new HFMD . most of them from the toddler class, meaning little missy's classmates. so we decided to protect little missy from the spread. got to keep her at home with grandpa and maid again. sigh.

going to childcare is even more dramatic.. almost every two days one new events.. first month (August) missy hates her school then just when she started to love her school and teachers, she starts to get sick.. then just when she gets well, HFMD cases.. i wonder when then we can really enjoy childcare. sigh.

so, finger cross, missy does not catch the virus from her classmates and will be healthy for the rest of the week till we return to cc , after the cases subsided.

Photosss..

Finally, i can load photos in blogspot from home. haywire syetem.

Some photos taken in August (missy is 22 month-old plus) first week in school. She has yet to be in her school uniform.

Try to post some latest photos but im not able to retrieve the photos from my new phone. lazy to explore la..

Missy goes to school

last month, whenever i ask her, " we go to school ?" she will start crying and keep saying " Dun want school " we basically cannot even mention the word school when talking to her.. tt'll trigger her tear buds..

But, now, when she refuse to get up from bed in the morning after 7am. i will tell her " you want to go to school ?" she will replied " i want go to school" and i will tell her " then u have to get up and brush your teeth " she will obligingly, follow me to toilet to clean up and change and get ready to school.

last month, whenever we are outside of her school she will cry and refuse to get in.

Now, she will smile and happily waiting for me to unbucker her and let her climb down from her pram to walk into her school. I will give her "bonus" by letting her press the door bell. hee..

last time, she refused to let teacher to check her temperature and mouth before entering class.

Now, she let teacher take her temperature and open her mouth happily for teacher to check. she even gives free hugs to teacher and teacher said she is a cheerful girl.

Tt's how my missy adapt herself in a new environment. cute cute. she will greet me "zao an" in the morning when i greet her 'good morning" not bad huh.
