Missed papa ?? Reduce diaper and more words

This morning when mummy drove the car we could hear Ethan calling his "Papa". I guessed Ethan tried to remind mummy that his daddy still not in the car. Daddy is on 4 days business trip to oversea Shanghai.

Since mummy bought the cloth diaper few day ago, today she let Ethan wore its during his nap time. Well, this was part of mummy's new year plan to reduce Ethan use of disposable diaper. Before that mummy had already successfully reduced the usage to 2 disposable diapers per day (exceptional case was when we go out in weekend as mummy still not yet dare to take the risk of diaper free for Ethan). With this cloth diaper, today's usage was only one disposable diaper. This morning after Ethan drank his morning session of milk and before he fallen asleep again he informed mummy that he wanted to pee. Well this is good sign right? So this morning mummy found out that Ethan's diaper was quite dry even throughout the whole night. Guessed his just pee one time in the diaper.

Few months back mummy made some mistakes when Ethan showed the sign to mummy that he wanted to pee. But sometimes mummy was too lazy to take off his diaper so just asked Ethan to pee on his diaper. Therefore later Ethan totally doesn't want to show the sign again. That's why mummy failed. So starting from this new year mummy insists to let Ethan diaper free during the daytime. After few weeks of "gambatte", mummy finally seen some results as Ethan started to show mummy the sign again. This time when he showed the sign, mummy insists to take off the diaper even at 5 something morning or at night before he fell asleep. Mummy had learned her lesson and will not make the same mistake twice.


Seeing Ethan happily playing the "pee ka boo" with the grandma. Grandma was hiding behind the sliding door.

Tonight when grandma walked inside the bedroom, Ethan quickly called "papa". I guessed he thought that it was his daddy who had entered the room. At tonight when mummy was reading Peter and Jane to him again, suddenly Ethan grabbed mummy finger and pointed to the picture and said, "baby". Only then did mummy realized that Ethan knows how to pronounce this word. This morning when mummy drove daddy to airport, he pointed to the traffic light and said red . Then when the light turn to green, he said "green". We only realized that he also know how to differentiate between red and green. Maybe this was because every time when he sees the traffic light he wants mummy to tell him. Today Ethan pronounced a lot of new words ie milk, red, green, baby etc. Guessed today he also tried to form a couplet as when he was walking around daddy's car, he said :" Papa car".
