And what you see in the photo is him seriously washing the window. The funny part was he even went to pull the stool and stood on it so he can wash the upper part of the window.

Mama, what is this?
Mother replied him that this thing is used for washing the window when he asked. He immediately used it to wash our house's window which he washed the mosquito net inside the window part. Seems he likes and in order to make him understand the function of this stuff, mother went and gotten one red bucket of water and asked him to wash the outside window. He did it and he thought it was fun.

His first song
Finally he knows how to sing and remembers the lyric of the song. The kindergarten had taught the kids how to sing a song according to the the words that they learned. We were surprised when we heard Ethan singing the song. We think that we had made the right choice of putting him into this kindergarten since he is very happy. Once in a while he will surprise us constantly with what he had learned.

Registration for Standard 1
Time flies so fast. This month of March, it was time for Ethan to register his primary school. We have chosen the school nearby our house.
Mother told him that we will register a new school for him today, he was afraid that he will need to change his current kindergarten. He said "no" to it and we have to explain to him that this school that we are registering is for his standard 1. He still can enjoy his current kindergarten for another one year plus. We told him that after the age 6, he will not be in kindergarten anymore and he is a big boy.
We came to the school at 1pm plus but the security told us that the office only open at 2.00pm. So we went to the supermarket to buy some stuffs before we came back again. Daddy needed to fill the form and passed over to the admin office and it took about 30 min to finish the whole process.

Mutiplying project
Well, Mother did not anticipated that it was so smooth sailing on teaching Ethan on the multiplying.
From the conception of the idea until today, mother had been cracking the head on what method to teach him. Using the ready product in market like buying the CD or flash card and etc.. Or download from the internet the timetable but found out that only have up until 9 instead of 12 timetable. Mother even thought of recording mother's voice reading the timetable and playing it back. In the end, mother homemade the timetable and no recording. Why no recording because the recording cannot stop and wait for the kid to follow and repeat the words. Mother read aloud with him is more flexible depending on his speed.
Where and when mother teaches him? Well, mother only teach him on the way while mother drives him to and back from kindergarten. Normally there was a bit of traffic jam on the road so mother asked him to follow what mother said and he did. Then before his nap time, mother asked him to follow mother reading the timetable again. Surprising, it only take one day for him to memorize the timetable of 2. Of course mother only teach him one timetable since the target is one month per one timetable.
In order to let him understand what is the purpose of him having to memorize the timetable, mother had printed out the worksheet for him to do. Mother's opinion is if he did not constantly practice on timetable surely one day he will return back to zero. People may think mother is cruel but this is the fact.
He was a bit slow when doing the worksheet but he had tried his best to calculate by himself and get assurance from mother. Today he just finished 6 pages of worksheet from 0 - 2.

Say No to diaper project
Diaper less for Ethan was one of the mission impossible for mother. First of all, he must drink about 11 oz milk plus water before he goes to sleep. He did not like people to disturb him when he is sleeping. It was impossible to have a dry diaper for the whole night.
Why we suddenly have this project? All because mother found out that one day during his nap time, he had woken up to pee and continue to sleep back after that. That gives mother a thought that maybe it can work at night also. So mother just asked him whether he wants to try at night after mother praised him. Surprisingly, he was willing to try it at night.
On the first night, he unwilling to wake up in the middle of the night, so he pee on the bed and mother wanted to discontinue the project and think maybe he was not ready yet. What he did, he insisted doesn't want to wear diaper in the second night. Shame on mum as he did not give up but mother did. And he was right, the second night, he was willing to wake up at the middle of the night and pee in the toilet. So he was dry in the morning. He actually was successful for few days at the end of Feb month.
In order to encourage him, mother did up a chart to let him track his own record at the beginning of March month. He gets to stick sun sticker if he is dry through the whole night and he will get the raining cloud when he pee on the bed. The whole project was just for him to to have fun since he likes to stick the sticker..

Dramatic :- Shopping
Today, we played shopping. Even he gets to experience it when we brought him along during our shopping. But this time, mother let him choose the product and put under the shopping cart.
First, he said that he was driving a car and finding a parking space. After he parked the scooter, he went to push the shopping cart. He began to shop.
Mummy gave him a list of paper of item that need to buy. The purpose is to let him find the product in the table by himself without mother's help. He need to read how much and what were the product mother wanted him to buy.
After having paid the money, he needs to go to car park to drive his scooter and happily bring home his product.
He actually wanted to further continue after shopping and back home. He wants to cook all the product he bought. Mother told him to play in the next day.
From this game, mother have noticed that he was poor in calculating the money. Like total he needs to pay is RM44. He needs to pay 4 pieces of RM10 and 4 pieces of RM1. He was blur about it. Mother plans to teach him the concept of money another day.
