Not spicy at all

When Ethan looked at the food with red color, he will know that the foods is spicy and he will not touch it at all. He knows that he cannot take the spicy food.

Today mother had cooked two type of eggs, one is for Ethan with no chili source and another one for us(adult) with chili. When he took his lunch, he already pointed out that this plate of egg is spicy and another plate was free of spice. Mother put those non spicy one for him and asked whether he wanted to try the spicy one. At first, he was still struggling but he took the challenge after mother told him that no spicy at all as it is only sweet taste. Mother took a bit and put it into his mouth and let him taste it. He was ok with it then he requested for more.

We were glad that he slowly accept it because both of us like the spicy food so much. This is the first move he had taken and we will gradually introduce more spicy food to him.....

His funny thought

This two days Ethan have been playing with grandfather "万步机". He has hooked it on his pants and ran about in order to know how many steps that he had walked. He saw the number kept on increasing when he walked with it. He was wondering whether the machine can reduce the number or not. Since he knows that walk forward can increase the number so he tried to walk backward and hoped that the number of steps can be reduced. We were laughing at his action and his thinking.....

Need to recover

Mother had stopped reading to Ethan everyday for the past few months. On and off will read to him and mother already felt the bad impact on him. He does not have the enthusiasm as before. His concentration was not good as before. But it was really difficult for mother to control the situation as mother was not feeling well and also fell sick.

Even though mother reads one book for him, mother already felt like mother just finished one marathon competition. Mother having a serious blocking nose and it was hard for mother to read out the whole sentence. Now mother had recovered a bit and wanted to start over again but the situation was that mother needs to start from zero again. How about daddy helping? Did ask but daddy read to Ethan just like those people being forced to do. The kid is sensitive when the parent show unpleasant manner on him.

More homework

Ethan had been back to school this week. Mother felt that after the school started 2nd semester, the homework he brought back became more and more. Sometimes one day he needs to finish 4 books of homework. In 1st semester, he seldom brought back homework. Even there are some, they are only one or two simple homework but not now. Guessed the kindergarten have been speeding up the teaching material after the kids had enjoyed 6 months of honeymoon periods.

Last time he can finish all the homework before he takes his nap time but not now. He will not finish the homework even already 2 something in the afternoon. Mother will ask for his opinion whether he wants to continue to finish it or wait to finish after he wakes up from his nap. His 100% choice will be to wait until he wakes up.

Now the homework is increased but his speed is still slow like a snail when he does his homework. Hoped that he can improve it later.

His weird request

Ethan has weird request. He likes to ask his mother to take his photo in his underwear. Everyday he will ask mother to take photo of him in his underwear before he goes to bathe. Sometimes mother rejected his request but sometimes mother will follow his instruction.

No vacation

We did not visit any places during Ethan's two weeks holiday. We did plan to go to Cameron Highland but people adviced against it. There will be traffic jam and the cost of the trip will also be more expensive. The most unfortunate thins was that we were also sick during the holiday. So mother just brought Ethan back to Kedah for one week.

Auntie suggested that we go to Cameron Highland during the Penang governor's birthday but that time Ethan's school seemed like no holiday unless he absent himself from school. Let's wait and see the situation first.

Funny hairstyle

Mother had made his hair stand like a tall building during the bath time. He just loves it....
