Ethan goes to school

Ethan's grandma told us that Ethan still cries whenever he goes to school, despite after started for 1.5 months to date. Today both PaPa and Mummy both took leave off to give my mum-in-law more free time to herself, and we took on the task to prepare Ethan for school for the first time.

Ethan displayed his mood mood feelings once his uniform were put on. He started asking for PaPa's phone and played while we got him to wear his shoes, holding on to the phone tightly till class is opened.

Immediately when the school doors open for his session, Ethan started to hold his PaPa's shorts so tightly and refused to let go.. and he started to cry and said he doesn't want to go in.. but when we carried him into the classroom, he put his water bottle into the basket obediently and waiting for the teacher's instructions to be given. We quietly walked away from his sight and his crying stopped.

Chinese New Year 2010

This Chinese New Year, Caden has along with him a better companion, Ethan, who has now able to recite the auspicious wishes when we go house visiting. Both Caden and Ethan were well-trained enough to pass on the ang baos back to mummy whenever they received from adults.

Caden and Ethan have been kept very busy the last 3 days on visiting to our elderly houses and spent a fair amount of time in each place. We had our first family visitors at our place on Monday afternoon - Uncle Brian, Auntie Winnie and their fav friends - Aidan and Eillot!
Ethan has been consistently uncooperative these days as his tempers shown freely at everyone's place when he kept demanding for sweets and cold drinks. Ethan has shown his timidness when we were at Lou Pek's house where there was a 5mth old dog chasing after my two young boys. Ethan was screaming and running away for help when the dog tried to be friendly with him.

On a side note, Mummy suffered mild food poisoning on Sunday night as she vomited the whole day's meals on a 2hr awful session. Turn out to be quite a memorable V day for me!

The long weekend is going to end by tonight and we have got 1 more Da Yi's place that we have not covered.. probably it may be postponed to next week and we hope to capture more memorable moments during this festive seasons...
