Dear all sydney mum, i just wonder what kind of sun/shadow cover are you using on you car? Coz last week i brought my son out and i think he got a bit sun burn by only sitting inside the car.      i only saw the one is only cover the window (in Kmart & BigW) but I really want to buy the one is a picese to cover the whole car door as well, but don't know where to buy. If anyone know where can find it can you please tell me....many thx.

Hi i m from Sydney as well my son is already 13months. Looking forward to chat with you guys more 

I did brought my baby to Gymbaroo last semester, and find is really good effort to my baby. They teach how to train baby muscle and my baby learn how to roll over and crawl during last semester. Sure will bring baby back on the coming semester as well.

Thanks to Chris, after reading your post i think i should reconsider teaching my baby Maths by using Chinese as well. But i did worry he will only know the number in Chinese instead of English. Coz we did teach the baby wave his hand & shake hand in Chinese, but wheneven our friend want to play with our baby and talk to him in English he have no response to them at all.
