Post-it on the book

Why is there a post-it on the book? Actually, those are the words that mother either doesn't know how to pronounce or dunno the meaning. Last time mother had another book to record down the words but it was troublesome to bring two books when reading to Ethan.

Mother needs to stop for a while to search for the word in another book which is not so good. Furthermore mother doesn't want to write down on the book. So at last, mother found the solution by using the post-it. It is good as it can be torn off anytime without destroying the pages of the book.

Whatever the color .....

So far, mother did not corrected Ethan when he colors the object. His cat can be whatever color, like purpose, green or... All up to him.

Mother just doesn't want to kill his creativity.....

Practice made perfect

Recently, mother let Ethan practice again his math. Now still under the one digit addition and subtraction. He had done the maths again and again until he can remember some of the answers without using the finger or thinking for a while. He looks at the question and immediately writes down the answer.

Lego play set

Knowing that the lego play set is good for kids but we did not buy for Ethan. The photo below shows the lego zoo play set he was playing belonged to his cousin.

So far what he had was the mega block and wooden blocks. Maybe it is time for us to consider to invest for him......

Music on the way....

Today, daddy brought out his guitar which he stored under the staircases since we moved in. He claimed that this guitar accompanied him when he was still in the secondary school. Asked whether daddy still know how to play. Ayo, sorry, forgotten already. Daddy said he will buy a guitar book and learn again as he said last time he also self-learned.

Not only the guitar, daddy also forgotten how to play the piano. Not to mention that, mummy also forgotten how to play the organ. When we were young, we even taken the test and now all return back to zero..... We are considering to re-learn again....

What did Ethan do to the guitar, just played it. So on and off you can hear a lousy noise coming from our house.

The flower only blossom in the early morning.

Reward not based on the.....

We never think of giving reward to Ethan for finishing his homework. Our thoughts are that everyone got his own obligation and own task to be done. We can praise him but not with physical reward. We don't want him to complete his task with motive.

Whenever we bought toys for him was not based on his completion of some tasks. Even his birthday, we did not made it a big deal for him and we don't want to pamper him. So far we never buy birthday presents for him on his birthday. What we have done is to save a lump some of money as his education fund.
