All About Your Child

I tried to wean my boys off the milk bottle mid last year when Binbin had a great fall, which ended with cracked lips and swollen gums. It was very bad and I just realised I did not blog about it! *eyes rolled*

Anyway, I took that opportunity to wean my boys off the bottle. Its pointless to wean one and not the other when the one that is ‘suffering’ can see his sibling sucking the milk bottle teat in pleasure.

The off-bottle days lasted 2 weeks only. Thereafter, Binbin lost interest in milk completely! That is the LAST thing I want. Milk is so important to a child’s early stages. He did NOT ask for the bottle either. He just completely lost interest in the white dope altogether. *frowned*

But I followed my 6th sense: passed him the bottle after 1 week of milk-less days……. And the milk drinking routine came back….but back to the bottle again. *sigh*

So what happened this time which kept their bottle away for so long?

Well, in late March, one teat broke. They refused to ‘taste each other’s saliva’ and I honestly have no idea whose teat it belonged to PLUS, my deliberate excuse of “Sorry boys I forgot to buy a new teat.” kept them away from sucking till now. *Yippee*

So its 2 months in and counting….. *fingers and toes crossed*

Today, school re-opens! YEAH!!!! But before the kids bury their heads under books, they had hours of fun at The Polliwogs on the last day of school break. All thanks to LZMommy who mentioned about The Polliwogs over at the post ‘Happy 5th Birthday Binbin‘.

The Polliwogs provides mini bags for children to go ‘Ball-Shopping’ *laugh*

Both were trying to fill as much balls as they could without letting any ball escape. With 2 separate ball pool, there are LOTs of balls to go around. *giggle*

We had tried Go Go Bambini, Peek-a-Boo and now The Polliwogs. The Polliwogs is soooo much bigger!!! It has indoor play area and outdoor too! The only setback that day was, even after mopping, the outdoor play area was still pretty wet after the heavy downpour on that Friday morning. But hey, who cares about those tiny puddles of water, the children just went crazy in and out of The Polliwogs! *laugh*

The INDOOR:

We did not get to play at the outdoor the moment we arrived because we were waiting for the staff to mop the bigger puddles of water. We get to go out only after spending 2 hours indoor.

So while we were waiting, the kids decided to have an ice-cream break while I claimed the FREE COFFEE. Every receipt entitles you to a FREE Coffee or Tea.

The OUTDOOR:

The charges for The Polliwogs are in the midrange between the previous two indoor playgrounds which we went. $16 for children on weekdays with unlimited play. And $2 More for weekends and public holidays with 2hour play. Adults enter for free. Just like the other two, please BRING YOUR SOCKS!

We went at 1pm and stayed till the friendly staff shoo us off at 7pm. *giggle* 6 hours!!!! We are madly in love with The Polliwogs. Operating hours are from 10am to 7pm on weekdays and extended 1hour on weekends.

If I am ‘forced’ to say something negative about The Polliwogs. Well, my boys and I did have scratches and cuts when we came down the spiral slide; which we did not have such ‘Ouch’ experience in the other two places. Other than that, the 3 of us were like big and small hamsters, crawling all over the place, having fun at The Polliwogs. *Grin*
