Your best bet, especially as you want something fairly specific is to look on Amazon.com or have a friend in the US go to iParty and then have the stuff forwarded to you by a friend/family member back home. I had to do that to do up a proper Elmo-Themed b-day for my daughter. Most party stores will ...

I'm the mom of a 2 year old. We always ensure that she has a lap belt on, and that she stays seated (usually by bribing her with an iTouch loaded with elmo and pre-school games) and that seems more than sufficient.

Growing Up Gifted @ United Square--People's Experiences?

I've seen Madeline Tan at TC Chang's office, and while she's okay, I wasn't overly impressed. I've an appointment to see Dr Ng at NUH, who seems to be the only American trained and American Board Certified OB in the country, if you care about that.

Thanks, but I'm insulin dependent. I seem to have found a decent endocrinologist, which I think is the critical part of diabetic pregnancy care in Singapore. I have to say, I think the lack of high risk specialists is appalling.
