It has a month since I terminated my Angel Triplets & I am missing them day & night. They should be in their week 12 yesterday.
The only consolation is to spend all my time with Ethan. Please bless him with good health.

Mommy's 3rd letter to Ethan
Dear Ethan,
First major milestone embarked -- you started school on 3rd January 2011. My son, you suffered from separation anxiety when I bid good bye to you & everyday for 2.5 months you cried. During that period I deem myself as a nasty devilish mother who brought so much misery to your life. With the support of close ones around me, I persevered & it paid off.
National Day Celebration
The bright side of attending school is he will amazes us with new bilingual words, songs, actions & skills you learnt in school. You also get to mingle & play with kids from other races & ages. Your always sharing attitude & courteous to the elders amazes me.
Mommy's little helper
We were at Ikea Tampines one evening, you were so excited to join in with the other kids at the playground. We relented & you were bullied by a girl the same age as you are. Came out of the playground with a huge bruise on the forehead & never even cried. You are a brave kid & you showed me how well behaved you are by not even pushing the girl back.

Acting like mommy
The down side is definitely exposing you to more viruses. Till date, you had fallen sick almost every other month or sometimes twice in a month. This is contributed by the always inadequate amount of water drank. The most severe was the Hand Foot Mouth Disease you got from “duno where” one day after your 1st Malacca trip with papa’s family. As such cousin Eu Young also got infected by the virus.
Consecutively 3 days, you refused to eat for fear that swallowing down the food will cause a lot of pain since there are so many ulcers in your mouth. Coaxed you with every means by offering your favorite food – ice cream, cold drinks & even chocolates but got rejected. We were desperate & helpless. Finally on the 3rd day night, you gave in when we offered you Hersley chocolates.
Role Play - - a patient
Reverse role -- a doctor now

This year we celebrated your birthday with classmates in school with a basket ball birthday cake & some goodies bags to share with your classmates. Hoped this had brought you tremendous fun & laughter & bridging your “fondness” towards school.
Happy 3rd Birthday to You, Ethan. We are blessed to have you in the family.
宇乐, 妈妈希望你健健康康, 快快乐乐.
With Love

School is GOOD !!
5 months of school life, the returns I get is incredible.
From being a “parked-in-front-of- TV”toddler to a chatty & expressive boy. This is something a full time working mother might not be able to achieve. I thank the teachers for the excellent skills imparted to him.
Of course it is not 100% rainbow & sunshine throughout the 5th months. Down with tonsillitis – x2 in February, x 2 in April & x 1 in May. Tonsillitis is an infection which resulted in high fever right from the beginning, high fever as high as 40.1. The fever will only subside with the consumption of antibiotic which is often a nightmare for us. Nothing can convince the little one to eat the medicine. Trust me; we had exhaust all ways & means to coax him to eat the medicine.
School is good. He used to be so attached & clingy to his father. Now every morning, he can bid good bye to his father & rattles on the list people working & attending school.
爸爸, 做工
大伯, 做工
姐姐, 读书
Kor kor, 读书
Ethan , 读书
This list clearly indicates his preferences in sequence. Sorry, mommy not listed.
He comes back with news songs or new words every day. In good mood days, he talks & replies everything in full sentencing like
“Mommy, Ethan love you”
“Ethan dun want to eat rice, I want to eat mee”
“Mommy get tissue kill the ants”
In bad mood days, he replies
“I dun know”
“不要”
“不可以”
“Cannot”
He personalized birthday songs for my mom & 大伯. Depending on whom he spoken to, this is the personalized song for them – birthday @ any point of the year
Happy Birthday to ah ma / 大伯
Happy Birthday to ah ma / 大伯
Happy Birthday Ah Ma / 大伯
I thank the person who comes up with school for young children..............

School Life - Day 43
Day 37 of his school life, it finally stopped "raining" at YWCA - AMK branch. I am glad & blessed to have patient teachers who helped the little one to adapt to school. Finally I can say Ethan has stopped crying. His separation anxiety had stopped. Well done kiddo..
A typical morning
Little one's rountine sets in
8.00am - Wake up
8.15am - Mini "business" on his potty
8.30am - Change into school uniform & grumble "bye bye school"
8.45am - Leave for school
8.50am - Reaches school gate - hug mommy, kiss & say "bye bye mommy see you tonight" Runs off to remove his shoes left it on the designated shoe rack, holds teacher's hand & off to the toilet to wash his hands.
Whenever I asked him :-
Me : how is school today
Ethan : Good
Me : What did you learn in school today? Can you sing me a song
Ethan: Happy Birthday to you......
Me : Whose Birthday
Ethan : Lao Shi's birthday
So basically everyday is "Laoshi's" birthday... ^_^

Ball-a-holic
Ethan likes balls - doesn't matter the size the types. Be it basketball, football, pingpong ball, plastic balls.....
Even at times when he sleep he needs to bring a ball to bed. We have a basketball & football goal post, pingpong racks, kids badminton rackets....
Beware the next potential Singapore Ronaldo..

Childcare
"Bye bye school!!" This is the little one's favourite quote for now.
From a weekend BP -AMK child, he had upgraded to being a childcare kid(CCK). Milestone he achieved so far...
Day 1 - Cried till he lost his voice
Day 2 - Refused to sleep with the rest of the kids in the room. Slept outside the common area on the wooden bench.
Day 3 - Cried till he poo on his pants.
Day 19 - Still a crying baby suffering from separation anxiety. I wonder how long this anxiety will persist.
Every morning the moment he opens his eyes, he starts to cry which acts as an added stress on me. All the teachers & even the cleaning lady had recognized me as Ethan's mommy.They had reassured me saying "he is a very well behaved kid when you (as in Me) are not around." I see it as Ethan trying to get my attention. Our daily routine :-
7.00am Mommy wakes up - wash up get ready for work & prepare raw food or soup for dinner
8.00am Ethan wakes up
8.30am - 8.45am Goes to school
5.45pm - Mommy leaves work reaches YWCA between 6.15pm - 6.30pm.
6.30pm - 7pm - Either playground / watching TV. Mommy squeezess sometime in between preparing dinner.
7.30pm - Dinner + washing up
8.30pm - Shower
9.00pm - Playtime / reading /watching TV whilst mommy shower, clean up the kitchen wash & iron clothes
10.00pm - 11.00pm - Bedtime for Ethan
Crazy rush for the family everyday. Reckon that we are just one of the typical Singaporean family.
