Happy Mid Autumn Festival

We have bought the lantern two weeks ago but we did not take any action. Tonight is the day that we must lit it up. It have been raining before daddy took Ethan out for the walk. The lantern had been chosen by Ethan few weeks ago. We didn't know why he likes the frog design but we respected his choice.

Daddy helped to light up the lantern

Ready for the walk

Ethan really had a good time as he can see lot of kids in our taman also brought the lantern. Daddy said that he had light up 5 candles for Ethan's lantern....

Swimming fun

It was quite sometime that we did not bring Ethan to swim. We were afraid that he will cough again as recently he was often attacked by the cough virus. Sometimes we just had to make a move since daddy complaint that we are wasting the benefit to enjoy the facilities in the club house.

He was having a great fun and excited when we brought him to swim. He kept on kicking and kicking in the pool. He likes the adult pool and swims with daddy. Mother did ask him to swim in kid pool but he kept walking in the kid pool. Mother asked why not swim instead of walk, he answered that walking is faster than swimming in kid pool.

Even though he did not know how to swim but we were pleased that he can kick and swim with the help of the rubber float. Last time he wanted us to hold him even with the float. We still have the problem to make him put his head down into the water. What to do, he was very scared of putting the head down inside the water. Still have to gradually lure him to do this. We hoped one day he dare to do it....

Maths : The Division

You see. Mother did not take any action to teach him the division. During the school holiday, mother found out that Ethan almost forgotten some of the multiply after few months he did not do the exercise. So he needs to refresh again his memory. Luckily he picked up quite fast even not 100% remember.

Looking at his multiply, mother delayed again teaching him the division. "BUT" this kid gone and used the calculator to do the division exercise. Mother spot this and said that he was cheating using the machine. He immediately stopped and mother told him that the division is the opposite of the multiply. He got the idea and do the rest of the exercise by himself. What surprised mother was that he had done all the questions correctly. He really loves maths....

Activity in school holiday

During the school holiday, mother brought Ethan back to Kedah to stay. The activities that Ethan had in the morning or evening was scribble words on the car park floor. Ethan had a box of chalk for quite some time but we did not let him have fun with it. In Penang, our car park was covered with tiles so we only have cement floor outside the house. We considered it was dangerous for him to draw outside the house because of the cars passing by.

Since grandparent's house car park is covered by cement so this is good place for him to draw or write something on the floor under safe environment. He just loved it, he drew sun, house, road all over the floor.

Our sunday

Today we went to Eastin Hotel to attend one of seminar organized by one of the branded milk Co. This is the first time we attended this kind of function. Since the event started at 2.30pm so it means that Ethan cannot take his nap time but we asked him to take a short nap like about one hour but he didn't. Both parents fell asleep while accompanying him. He was the alarm clock for us as he woke us up saying that it was 2 o'clock.

We arrived at the Hotel at about 2.15pm and we took the escalator to Level 3. A lot of parents had already arrived and we registered ourselves. The staff gave us a piece of form to fill up in order to get the goodies bag from the milk co. We went to the children corner to let Ethan have some fun. We had been offered by the staff to take care of our kid when we go for the presentation in the other room. At first Ethan refused to let go so we just informed the staff and we would think about it before letting them know. We let Ethan colored the "Doraemon" and asked whether he wants to stay here with the other kids or not. Yes was the answer then daddy went to register him. When the presentation started we informed Ethan that we will go to the other room and we will pick him up at 4.30pm. He said bye bye to us.

Half way through the presentation, daddy went to take a look at Ethan whether he was ok or not. Daddy found him eating the muffin and playing with the toys. The staff walk towards daddy and asked daddy whether is this kid his son. Yes and the staff informed daddy that Ethan was a very independent boy. He even asked the staff to bring him to the toilet. Daddy saw that most of the kids were accompanied by their parents or grandparents. Seems like we are the one who left Ethan alone in the children corner. After the talk, we went to pick Ethan up and he was happily playing in the room. We had some refreshment before we left the hotel.

Ethan slept early at night.....

Eye problem

Recently we had noticed that Ethan is having an eye problem. He will consistently blink his both eyes. Seems like that was something inside the eye. Last time he had this problem too but only for a while but this round he has persisted the situation for few days already. We planned to bring him to the eye specialist to inspect his eye.

We hoped that after the inspection he could recover from this.

Some art work

It has been quite some time that we did not do the art work together. Seems mother start to discipline Ethan on his nap time so that he got spare time to do extra stuffs.

Today we started with the cut, paste and draw. This time mother had to sit beside him to look at him cutting or else the whole color paper will transform into small pieces of rubbish. He likes to cut the paper into small pieces. After he finished cutting, he has to paste them on the paper. Mother asked him to draw anything on the paper.

Paste the house

He drew the door and window on the house. Mother asked why is it so many windows in the house. His response was that the house got lot of levels so it would need a lot of windows. He even said one house is Ethan's and the big house is mama's house.

Concentrated on the drawing

He even drew the tree, sun, cloud and birds in the picture. The last thing to do, paste on the wall.

Mother wanted him to practice his drawing skill and not only writing the number on the paper as recently mother noticed him has some interest in learning to draw with the help of the book. Maybe is time to consider whether to enroll him to the art class or not....
