Many faces of Ethan

 Ethan having fun with the camera ;p Pictures taken at CKS Millenium meant for the Johnson & Johnson Baby Contest but I managed to get Ethan's pictures taken just for the fun of it...not meant for the baby contest as it was meant for those 3 yrs and below only ;p

Ethan is 4 today!!

Oh my.. how time flies..

Look how you've changed. Look, how you've grown

You've filled our heart with so much joy

We're so very proud of our little boy

Both Mummy and Daddy...and your lil baby brother Eli too

Wishing Happy 4th Birthday especially to you our ever dearest Ethan

As every day passes and we watch you grow

Our love will be constant we want you to know.

On Ethan's playschool progress...

Remember I made an entry about Ethan's progress report from his school previously...well we received his second progress report from the school just before his playschool closed for the year end festive seasons last December. Seeing the improvements he made just over a couple of months time put a smile on our faces..Glad he is improving..well done Ethan..keep up the good work eh ;p

Ethan's first concert

He had his first concert at his Playschool last Saturday. Here's a video of his first performance. He was distracted initially with the balloons but managed to start clapping his hands and did his own version of the twist as the music starts... watch how he did the twist til to the floor mind you hehehe...but unfortunately it was short lived as the school's cd got jammed in the middle of the performance and Ethan being Ethan had to say it out loud to me who was bz taking the video shoot...he was ever ready to start dancing again but as the cd continued to get jammed he got bored and started to play with the balloons happily again! Tsk tsk tsk...must remind the playschool to keep backups in case it happens again in the future ;p

We received Ethan's Progress Report Card from his playschool a few days ago...

 Here's the report on his general skills and attitude developments... (click on image for bigger view)

And this is what his class teacher says about him ;p

According to his teacher, overall he is okay...just that he can't sit still and VERY PLAYFUL...apparently he is the only one that cannot sit still...he will only join the group activities for a short period of time before he starts to wonder around and does his own stuff  ;p Do you think we should be concerned especially seeing not a single 'A' in his report card? BTW, A = Good; B = Satisfactory; and C= Need Improvement.

Personally, I think it is too early to worry because after all he is still in playschool ;p He should still be playing and having fun.. besides I do think he has improve although maybe not as good as others but I still think he has improve tremendeously in terms of speech and following instructions as compared with before ;)

Yup..that's my boy alright :)

Mansau ansau in KB

Hello folks! Sorry for the long silence...I've been having and still is having internet connection problem at home...so haven't got the chance to do any blogging...anyhow, it's my lunch hour now so taking this opportunity to do some overdue entries if time permits ;p

Anyway, we went for a day trip to Kota Belud (KB) on the first Saturday of this month just to get away...it wasn't planned...in fact the trip was only meant for hubby and Ethan but in the end I decided it would be fun for me and Eli to tag along with them too ;p So did the packing and off we went...pics below will tell u more stories :)

Above and below - the happy faces of my boys going for a long ride :)

Eli taking his late morning nap

Ethan monkeying around while Eli taking his nap...

...before he dozed of to lala land...

..and when both of them awake...Eli as usual like to play with his Koko especially the hair by pulling it ;p

...and when they are done playing or teasing each other...this is what Eli do whenever he wants to be carried and cuddled ;p

Upon reaching KB, we had our simple yet yummy and not forgetting very reasonably priced lunch at this coffee shop restaurant...

..and when we are done with our lunch I saw this sign board from the coffee shop...and guess what the banner says...

yup...its a bundle shop!..what did we do..of coz I asked hubby to go there!! ;p

and this is my best buy for only RM7...cool eh ;)

...just as I was paying the stuff, hubby's friend called and said he was almost there...so we followed his car from behind to his mom's house...this little girl is of coz his little angel :)

The men and their not so baby babies :)

Willis's house has a big and nice compound especially with the carpet grass..so Ethan being Ethan took the golden opportunity to not only roamed around but ran around chasing the pet dog too!! tsk tsk tsk...

Him having fun while hubby keeping an eye on him...

Playing with the pet dog...

here's Eli taking his late afternoon nap...

Ethan was supposed to take his late afternoon nap too but he was too excited to take his nap...still so fresh even after the running around and his milk...hmmmm...

in the end I gave up and let him go outside to play again...

With cute lil' Janelle...

As it was approaching evening...we made a move from Willis's home and proceeded to his in-law's home where his newly born twin boys and wifey are staying during the confinement period...

so meet the younger bro Jeremiah...

and the elder bro Joel ...both were sleeping soundly so we didn't stay long..also becoz it was getting darker...so we left for home...

pics above and below..showing happy and exhausted boys of ours on the way back :)

We definitely had a great time during the very brief trip..and so we didn't really mind going back there again for the twins' fullmoon party which we did two weeks after this trip! :) Will blog about that and our Raya break next...

"Tee-hop" means thank you

Ethan has his own way of saying things at times.

Like any other parents, we try to teach some basic or courtesy manners to our children to encourage respect and appreciations of others. 'Thank you', 'please' and 'you're welcome' are pretty common ones. However, Ethan some how refuses to say those words. It was only recently that he finally started to use the word 'please'. As for 'thank you' this is his own version ;p It's either he is baby talking or simply just teasing me ;p

Ethan just wanna have fun! :)

My boys

As I was busy doing chores in the kitchen last Sunday...my hubby captured this video recording of our lil' boys ;)

Bonding and fun time with their Daddy ;p

It's all about spider...

These are just video recordings of Ethan singing songs about spiders :)

You must be thinking what that small hat doing on Ethan's head ;p Well, it belongs to Eli (once belongs to Ethan of course) but Ethan refused to let it go eventhough I kept teasing him that the hat only meant for babies ;p

This video depicts how Ethan behaves with Eli during one of our usual morning drives to 4 different destinations i.e. Eli to MIL's , Ethan to playschool and both me and hubby to our work place ;p

Trucking Ethan

Ethan always has a thing about cars but yesterday evening was an exception where he managed to 'drive' a big truck to his heart's content while waiting for me to get off from work ;p

Changing gear...

See the face...so serious ;p

My tiny Ethan in a huge red truck ;p
My lil' truck driver :)

See mummy...am driving a big truck!
..even though my feet can't reach the pedals ;p

eeeeee...still can't reach!
Oh well...at least I tried mummy ;p
