If possible...

Today, Ethan had brought back some books from school. Guessed the school wants the parent to write down the name of the kid. At first, mummy wanted him to write by himself. But after he had done with one of the book, ayo all his name connected together and no space.

In the end, mummy wrote for him but mummy let him to write down his class ie K1.

Poor on...

Ethan has no artistic cells in him. Asked him to draw by giving the paper, ended up with all numbers written on the paper. Mummy planned to send him to the art class during the school holiday but in the end did not.

We just thought that he is still small and maybe need to wait until he reaches age 5 then we will let him decide. Currently, mummy will on and off teach him to draw a simple drawing like house, sun and etc. All depends on his willingness....

The shoe problem

Ethan took off his socks and mummy seen him used his hands to rub the "reddish" on his toes nail. What happened to him? Mummy saw a bit of blood inside the nail. Guessed the shoe is not suitable for him anymore. At night, daddy asked him about the shoe. His answer to daddy was "The shoe is too tight".

Guessed we would need to buy a new shoe for him. We did not expect his feet to grow so fast. When we bought the shoe, we purposely chose the bigger size. Few months back, Ethan only wore the sandal instead of sports shoe so mother did not notice that he feet was growing. It was mother's fault, mother should have checked it before he started school. Shame on mother.

Daddy promised to bring him to buy a new pair of shoes tomorrow. Hope we can find a suitable and comfortable sports shoe for him.

Back to new school

Today we have to wake Ethan up for the new school day. The school started at 8.00am not like the previous kindy which started at 8.30am. The distance is also far compared to the previous one.

The first week was an orientation week, the parents need to fetch the kid back home early. Mother did not accompany him in the school and just informed him that mother will be coming back at 10.00am to pick him up.

Let's pray and hope that he will enjoy the school.

Getting to start a new kindy

This afternoon, we brought Ethan to his new kindergarten. We have to choose the suitable size, picked up the uniform and paid the remaining fees. If you ask me what is the purpose of switching the kindergarten? We would say that it is mainly due to the environment.

Mummy doesn't like the previous kindy, it was too academic. We got the feeling that Ethan always sits on the chair from beginning of the class until the end of the class. We thought that kindy should be a fun place for kids especially last year when Ethan was still under nursery category.

The quality of the teachers. Some of the teachers are impatient. Mummy saw them yelling at the kids when mummy picked Ethan up. We knew that the kids today are very difficult to control but at least stop yelling and scolding the kids. When the kids did not corporate, the method is to beat the kids.

The school is also too commercialize, everything talk about money. Guess the kindy is a profitable organization and parent's money is the easy way to get when talking about kids education. Some of the money we paid, we don't know where does the kindy uses it. Some more we have to pay the Dec school fees even though Ethan did not have to attend. The school did mentioned if we want to send Ethan to the school in Dec we need to pay extra one month school fees. See, this is the way they make profit.

Actually we don't know whether the new kindy is a right choice or not but we hope that he will be happy and enjoys in the new kindergarten. Let's pray hard.

New Year Hope

What is the new year hope??
1) continue to be a happy boy and enjoy his life.
2) Healthy
3) Grow in weight and get taller and taller
4) good reading environment for him

Secretly hope
1) no more diaper for him. Now his success rate in nap time is up to 90% but not for the night time. He still pee in the night time. What to do, he insists wanting to have 11 oz milk plus water before he sleeps. If mother wakes him up at night then you will hear a loud crying boy in the middle of the night. He cannot let people disturb his sweet dream. Mother tried it once at nap time and in the end he cried non stop.

2) Start to read by himself. Mother really does not place much hope on this. Don't ask me when he will start his button on reading. By the time it comes then he will do it himself but just a mother's wish that day will come early.

3) Can ride the bicycle on two wheels instead of 4 wheels. Will it happen?

The morning in New year 2010

We did plan to visit the bay area in front of QBM since last year but we kept on delaying it. Today we made it on the first day of New Year. We arrived quite late after we have had our breakfast. The bright sun shone down the area and Ethan kept on using his hands to cover his eyes and constantly wanted us to go back. He refused to take photo.

Back into the car, he dare to look at the camera...

Since we only stayed a while in QBM so mother asked daddy why not we go to the Pulau Jerajak jetty. When we arrived there, we saw a lot of cars parked and lot of people waiting for the boat. We only took few photos at the jetty and we did not see the boat arriving at the jetty. Too bad.
