Alamak. I actually remembered the wrong date for Gerald next appointment. Thought it is on 4th Aug but actually it is 5th Aug!! The clinic sent me a sms to remind me of the appointment on the 5th and I was in total disbelief.. even suspecting the clinic booked the wrong date.. came home and checked Gerald's health booklet then realised it is me who got it all wrong... dohz.. Went to take leave on 4th and 5th Aug because Gerald is going to take his first polio vaccine injection and the nurse warned us during the last appointment that he might get high fever and discomfort so I thought it is best for me to take leave and attend to him solely just in case. * touch wood* *fingers crossed* Now I have to shift my leave to 5th and 6th...
Was searching through the net the other day for a baby friendly resort.. not kid friendly because there are lots of those around..usually for 2 years and above.. baby friendly because we are thinking of bringing Gerald for a holiday end of the year. By end of the year Gerald will be around 7 months old.. but sad to realise there isnt one around in Asia.. Why isnt there any?? I am sure lots of parents would like to take their baby on a holiday... the resort can arrange for some baby activities in which the family can enjoy together.. like maybe a gymboree club, baby massage classes, baby swimming classes, baby yoga.. the closest I can find is Club Med who has a Baby Welcome programme in which they provide babies equipments such as strollers, bottle warmers, baby bath, changing table and even baby food.. which is really nice of them.. but then again Club Med is expensive because it is a all inclusive resort.. so it is a waste of money if you don't ultilise fully what they have included in your package.. Yes there is a option of a baby sitter but no thanks.. I am not going to leave Gerald to a baby sitter.. god knows what she will do when I am not looking.. And I am sure the hotel will let me sign a agreement that say something like "the hotel will not accept responsibility for anything that happens to your kid when he/she is with the baby sitter" I am not going to take a chance...
I read in a motherhood forum about someone saying "why bother taking your baby on a holiday when he/she cant even remember". I disagree with that.. It got nothing to do with whether the baby can remember where he/she has been on a holiday..(by the way there are something in the modern world called photos!) to me (please note in my view only) it is more of doing something interesting with your baby, letting him/her see something else other than the same things at home... hey babies get bored too you know.. being coped inside the home.. playing with the same toys over and over again.. doing the same things over and over again.. how boring..!! Maybe someone will say "how do you know.." I don't know for a fact frankly speaking but I do know Gerald does love to go out every weekend! Maybe it is because sitting in his infant car seat in daddy car is a different rocking chair experience.. hahaha.. maybe he just enjoy looking at other things.. he always turned his head whenever something interesting caught his attention.. anyway the search for a holiday destination with Gerald end of the year continues..
