Daily routine

Seems like Ethan had developed a standard procedure life style for himself.

Few cases have shown that it is so:
1) Every time he enters the room, he will want to switch on the light, fan and air-con. Miss one of them and he will yell protesting that there are still things that haven't completely done yet. If you do these things for him he will cry like hell. So in order to stop him from crying, you have to switch off everything and let he do them himself. Even when walk out from a room, he also wants to made sure everything is switched off by him.

2) When he goes up staircase at grandpa's house, he wants to switch on the light at the staircase. Some funny thing was that at the day time normally people will not turn on the light but he insists wanting it to be turned on. For example one time when he had already walked up a few steps of staircase then suddenly he said "ah". Then he walked down again as he has forgotten to switch the light.

3) Similar thing happen when he is taking a bath. In grandpa house, when he wants to take a bath he will put all the different size buckets on the floor. When we pour the water on his body the water will fall into the bucket. After finish taking bath, he will push the pails aside and pour out the water from the bucket. He throws the bucket inside the pool in the toilet then he will request to stand on the pool side and asks to turn on the tap and close it. Before walking out from toilet he wants to take a look at the mirror before he goes out.



Every day he repeats the same things and he will not miss one of them. He can remember all the steps. Really funny seeing him doing that.

Recently mummy found out that Ethan doesn't like to see the flashcard anymore. One conclusion that mummy has was that he was bored with the same old words. So mummy has completed additional 192 words for Ethan. Wah! If included the new words that mummy had made - there were around 450 words for Ethan to read (excluded some words that shown in the homemade books)

That's a lot of words that Ethan already knows!
