New puzzle and math

Today mummy went to Tesco to buy some new puzzles for Ethan as Tesco had got sales offer. Beside this mummy also bought some clothes and a Paint apron for Ethan. Mummy has an idea to let Ethan try water painting. One of the amazing thing is that Ethan knows how to play the new puzzle even at his 1st attempt. Mummy had told daddy that might be he memorized the shape of the puzzle. This is because the new puzzle has same shape as the previous one he played but with new picture.

Today when Ethan ate his dinner, mummy tried to teach him maths using his cereal. Ethan has got a bad habit when he eat porridge, he always want to put the cereal in the spoon together with porridge before mummy feeds him. So mummy tried to teach him. For example, mummy gives him 5 cereals then when he eat one then left 4. After left only 1 cereal mummy will add other 4 cereal and let him know that it became 5. Don't know whether Ethan can understand or not but he has fun time seeing mummy counting the number. Hope that this method would work. At night mummy got another idea of how to teach him the math beside using this cereal but need to spend some money making the teaching material.

Recently Ethan always play the puzzle, mummy wonders whether is it still got other toy let him to play??? Is it good time to start the Playdoh for Ethan? Mummy attempted to let him play when daddy bought the PlayDoh from US at the beginning of the year. However, Ethan took the playdoh and eat it . At time mummy also does not know how to play the toy.
