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.

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.

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.

Mommy
