Mummy or Nanny better in handling Isaac Noel?

During CNY, I took a week off from work, just to take care of Isaac Noel - since nanny want additional 2 days off....

Not said I compare my skill with nanny, I know my skill in handling Isaac or Jona is still 'cha sui' one...of course Isaac's nanny is better than me (she has 4 kids ler)....But, few reasons make me think twice whether she is capable of handling Isaac or not....

1. I told her that Isaac can manage to drink up to 5 oz at home and during CNY, I manage to feed Isaac 5 oz every 3 hours...But, when Isaac went to nanny house this week, drop back to 4oz and sometimes, only 2oz or 2 and half oz after 3 hours. I'm not sure whether nanny have no patient in feeding Isaac or what?? Just make mummy worry so much....or maybe, because of different teat....Nanny feed Isaac using Anakku special teat (made from silicone). If Isaac dont' suck, the milk won't flow out.....But, back home, I tried to use same teat, but, just not successful, so, I switch it back to Pigeon teat - rubber teat, and Isaac LOVE it so much (nanny dislike rubber teat, cause after steam for several time, find it have kind of smell - she said, scared long term, cause cancer wo)

2. During CNY, Isaac start to stop feeding at night..Maybe, day time too full (being fed by mummy)....but, after went back to nanny, Isaac start again feeding at night. Does it mean that Isaac is not full at day time? I really black out, cause Jona never feed at night..So, Isaac could be my first experience......also, every day, Isaac back home, immediately cry for milk and sleep...can drink up to 6oz - 7 oz before night sleep??!!

3. And, if I go travel, putting Isaac at nanny care for a week, once I bring Isaac back home, I find that he will reduce weight. Not that heavy when carry him??

But, of course on top of all these, nanny really has good heart and patient...never see her got angry...and she is very hygiene too...Isaac take bath twice at nanny home, but, back home, ha,ha..mummy very very lazy, only once....but, of course, did wipe Isaac from time to time, and wipe thoroughly before sleep lar...

Guess, since I request nanny to take care of Isaac, I need to trust her in taking care of Isaac and doesn't need to doubt so much.....maybe, I just need to be relax and not over thinking....

Jona experience in kindergarden

Today, my mum enroll Jona into another kindy cause the previous one is not reach my mum expectation..why I would said so:-

1. The teacher is not experience at all.

2. While all other students learn to write on piece of paper, he just let my Jona boy play by himself (at that moment, my mum curi curi saw Jona playing a ball under the table!!!) - maybe, the teacher doesnt' want to teach Jona anything because he is just temporary student...

3. On first day, Jona cut his tiny little finger. When my mum check with the teacher, she just ignore and said Jona must cut himself at home. (which is impossible, cause on the way back on 1st day schooling, Jona keep telling grandma "Ah ma, Ah ma, aiyoh - while pointing to his little finger)..And, there is blood too..the cut is really deep until whole afternoon and night, Jona keep saying "Ah ma, aiyooh!!"

So, today is Jona first day schooling at new kindy....

Maybe, this one, looks more like real kindy. Jona got a bit of shock and scared seeing some children crying. So, he hold tight his grandma hand, won't let her go for quite sometimes....After he calm down, grandma went off (but, curi curi stay lar). Saw my Jona boy being comfort by assistant teacher. She gave him candy. And, then, Jona just follow wherever she go. Few minutes pass, Jona give back the candy to the assistant teacher... ha,ha...so funny - he don't eat candy, so, he will pass back to teacher one....good boy!!

After schooling, Jona is so happy to see grandma come and fetch him. While on the way back, he hold grandma hand, and walk side by side. Then, he saw so many cars passby him. He said " Ah ma, car! car! car!"...Then, he saw bicycle, and tell grandma " Ah Ma, what's that?" Grandma got shock....ha,ha...didn't know that Jona will asked so many questions after schooling for 3 days...

Seeing my mum inform me all this new make mummy feel so lousy cause didn't see how my Jona boy is so excited going to school and so happy.....

Just realise Jona is really growing up..he seem to be more obedient after CNY - does it sign that he is growing up? He love to play with friends too.....

How I wish I could be there to see all these happen for the first time.....just wishing n know it won't happen.... ;(

My little Jona - First day at kinder

This morning, while still blur blur at work, my mum called me up(at the moment, she is in Sarawak with my darling Jonathan). She asking for my opinion of which kindy(kindergarden) to enroll Jona(just temporary upon my request for 2 mths).....

Kindy in Sarawak is really cheap compare to KL. But, I really not sure of the level yet, cause it is my mum who did the research.....

She told me " This morning, I asked Jona to carry his little bag and walk to one of the kindy. He seem so happy and walk, jump and sing all the way. Then, at the kindy, he seem to be enjoy so much the friend and environment there.....When I went to another kindy, Jona seem to be ok - no crying and willing to be left alone".....

After discussed with my mum, I hang up the call. Just sitting there for a while and wondering...."is mummy little boy grown up already?" Suddenly, I just realise that I have been too protective of my Jona..He seem to be so happy to go to kindy while his 'lousy' mummy keep thinking he is not big enough or old enough to go to kindy, scared he can't protect himself, blah,blah,blah...come x1001 excuse......when thinking of it, I feel like time is moving so fast and without realise my Jona now, attend temporary kindy in Sarawak with so much joy and fun!!!

Maybe, I should enroll him at kindy nearby my house when he back to KL.......The reason, why I delay enroll him because he still young (now 2.5 yrs old) and I don't want him to be pressure at school. I just want him to have fun playing and enjoying his life before the real school started......maybe, my thinking is old....I'm not too sure about it now ....

Another thing, now, kindy fee in KL is so expensive....checking the price...for first registration fee, I have to pay RM 1100 and every mth - RM 180.....wow.....meaning, I have to put aside additional RM 3080 just for Jona schooling (not real schooling yet).....how about when proper schooling time???
