Baked A Cake

Dear Ethan

You have been making some progress with "completing an assigned task". You used to not be able to sit down to do things like Lego or a puzzle. As usual, mommy continued offering them to you and tried different ways to make them interesting. For example, Uncle Benny said mommy should read you a story with more drama (dramatic reading). You enjoyed and loved it so much you could sit down listening to mommy read a few of your faovurge books - at least 2.

Last night, we came back from dinner at Kampachi in Pavilion and you chose a few toys to play. Mommy is very proud of you for completing all of it without leaving your seat. You did really well too!

Tonight, we did these same activities again and you even kept all of it into their own IKEA bags.

After that, we played a bit of Lego. Mommy wanted to train your imagination and fine motor skills, which Teacher Tee said needs more attention to. You were very creative.

You told mommy that you were baking a cake. Then you asked mommy to pour tomato sauce (your current favorite sauce) on your cake. After that, you went round the house carrying you "cake" while singing the Pat A Cake song, asking Daddy and Aunty Lyn to take a bite ☺️

Mommy  take a video and many photos of you doing a new task or achieving a milestone but this time, you told mommy to stop!

Teacher Tee Said

Dear Ethan

Mommy went to collect your report card from Teacher Tee on the 20th of Novembef 2015.

Teacher Tee said you did well with recognizing alphabets and numbers from 1-10 but with some occasional misses. 

However the main concern was that you refuse to hold the pencil and do worksheets by yourself. Mommy was very worried that you would not be able to cope with the rest of the curriculum in school - homework and all. Daddy too. But he said that we should give you more time.

Mommy even spoke to some friends, grandma and Aunty Mei Toon, who is a psychologist to get some ideas but they all said not to worry. You will develop that and eventually learn how to write at your own pace.

Mommy hope you will work hard and get to write and enjoy coloring some day. 

So, for the year end holiday, mommy and daddy decided to still send you for the Gymboree big-boy class. You will cry every single time we leave you but you would be so happy during and at the end of the class. We hope you get to exercise more of your fine motor skills and learn how to be more patient.

You also brought home this art piece from your Kinder Cooking class from Kindy. You said you made ice-cream and chocolate biscuit 😊 but you only ate 1 little grape from the cone. You're still too picky with food!
