Growing Up
Time & Tide waits for no man. This is really very true. Just a blink of eyes, we are already in mid May approaching June 2012.
Year 2012 Ethan had been promoted to Nursery 2. Remember those dilemma days when I struggled to put him in the childcare centre. Gone are those separation anxiety days and I welcomed those “good bye” days when he will run to the cc saying good bye to me. He can even tell those crying children that their mommy will fetch them in the evening & console them. Oh my, he is a growing big boy & I am missing those toddler days.
He had become more vocal & expressive those the happenings. For instance when the lift came, we will say “be care of the hole on the floor mommy”. Simple words & gestures from him really touches my shallow heart.
He loves to play with toys & especially ball. But he is lazy to do writing & colouring. I wonder if all kids this age behaves like tat.
Some words that I just want you to know & please remember what I am going to say. Thank you for being such a wonderful kid. We enjoyed every single minute with you. I am sorry for not giving you a sibling but one thing for sure is, we are loving you 101% more than all you can ask for.

Missing you
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..
