Let talk about 三字经 Three-word chant

Mother never thought of teaching him the "Three word Chant" at his age even knowing some of the parents already start teaching their kids at very young age. But recently mother did and this is not because of "kiasu". The learning of the "Three -word Chant" was requested by Ethan himself. How can it happened?

Is story time again. It happened when we went to "Popular Bookstore" last Friday. Daddy said he was quite interested at one of the counter selling education CD like those 三字经, 唐诗,乘法表 and etc. The TV was on to promote the product and Ethan was hooked on it. We really have hard time to persuade Ethan to walk away but he did after the ending of the CD. Back at home, mother tried to find 三字经 in the internet and we let Ethan listens to it. Later, he requested us to teach him. (Most funny part was he even create his own 三字经 before he goes to sleep and we cannot stop laughing at his action). Mother was thinking that just listen to the CD may not know the words and meaning. Searching in the internet and copied out the words and explanation of 三字经 is mother's job again.

Finally mother finished custom made part of the 三字经 for Ethan. The word is big and no other fancy fancy thing beside it. Will introduce the later part to him when he finished the first part. We only plan to teach him on the way we bring him to and back from the kindergarten.
