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..............

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.
