IBG- Raya 09

Just as promised, IBG will launched its new range of products soon. It's been really hectic for us with Raya preparation and the launch. Hari Raya has always given a new meaning to those who religiously go through the hardship and sacrifices during fasting month.

This year there is indeed a few sweet surprises. The first 2 days were filled with happy visiting moments and we also had some new faces joining us for the first time. :)

We have some pleasant surprises too.. Our 2 cousins who have just gotten married in July are already expecting! Congrats to both of them. Soon, we will have more kids running around the house.

So those 2 days were filled with great food, a lot of visiting and great fun!

Thanks to all the effort to get the family together.

IBG would like to wish all Muslim friends " Selamat Hari Raya" .

Swimming again....

In one of my previous posts, I shared some of the importance of swimming for babies. And yes, I have signed up for Batrisyia for 10 swimming 'lessons'. Izzul had benefitted it. He has grown strong, active and quite a fighter to lean, mean viruses. I'll let mas tell you more of what he has gone through the last few days. Anyway, you can sign your babies up for these swimming programs when your baby is as young as one month old.

Here are some of the benefits of these swimming programs:

1) Coordination of body movements

2) Breathing

3) Enhance muscle and bone strength

4) Brain development

But you know what is most important - that they enjoy it. (we, parents will reap the rewards later because they usually get really tired from these swimmings and will have a good long sleep for the rest of the day - which means rest time for the parents too ;))

As you know, there a lot of institutions and centres that caters to baby and toddler developments whether to enhance them musically, artistically, mentally or physically. Does not matter which of these that your child attends, one thing for sure, they will grow to be more confident and happier of course. When your toddler shows signs of disinterest to the school that he has been going to... well, maybe you might consider for a change.

Anway, Izzul (early 2008) and Batrisyia (just last week) having a good time swimming. Cheers!
