Does Ethan Wants to be Like Mummy?

Dearest Ethan Baby,

It is so funny when you try on my slipper and shoe with your little feet. Mummy read somewhere that by doing so, you are showing me and yourself that you are aware that you are growing bigger and that you want to be like ME. Mummy feel so happy when I read that part. Mummy also notice that you love to play with Jojochee and you take over the "parenting" role of feeding her with your Ribena drink. Mummy also read that this act of yours is a great example of imitation and is a sign that you are learning to empathize with others. =)


Love Always,
Mummy!

Seeing Ethan Smile Every Morning is One of My Blessing

Dearest Ethan Baby,

Being able to see you smile every morning is the best blessing that GOD have given me. Mummy loves to see you smile especially when you just wake up from your sleep. Most of the children will need some time to adjust themselves when they wake up before they smile but you just smile. You are such a happy baby and Mummy needs to learn that from you. Mummy loves you!


Love Always,
Mummy

I am Sorry, Baby Ethan

Dearest Ethan Baby,

Mummy wants to say sorry to you because I should not have vent my anger on you. I should not have been aggressive on you. I should not be so impatient with you. Mummy loves you so much and never thought that one day I will be so out of control. Thanks GOD that he wakes me up and I stop behaving this way immediately but Mummy still wants to say sorry to you. Mummy promises that it will not happen again no matter how depressed Mummy is feeling. Love ya, Baby.


Love Always,
Mummy!

Why is it so Challenging to get YOU to Nap / Sleep, Ethan?

Dearest Ethan Baby,

You suddenly refuse to nap and sleep again. It must be because you are better able to visualize the world now that takes place without you. You might be convinced that while you are lying down there sleeping on our boring bed, Mummy and Daddy are still having fun, fun and fun. It must be frustrating for you who can hear the sounds of the TV or us talking. But you must rest and sleep, Baby so that you will have energy and be more alert for other activities. Mummy loves ya.


Love Always,
Mummy!

Ethan is Mummy's Little Helper

Dearest Ethan Baby,

You are starting to initiate what Mummy is doing and wanted to help me. You may not seem like the most efficient helper but Mummy feels that it is important to give you some responsibilities. You will learn what it's like to be part of a team in your family who values your contributions. Mummy hopes that you will also establish good habits that will benefit you when you are older. Mummy loves you.


Love Always,
Mummy!

Teaching Ethan what is Tolerance

Dearest Ethan Baby,

Tolerance is an important value to impart in children. Mummy hopes that you will learn the value of tolerance from me. It is accepting people for who and what they are, and treating your people the way you want them to treat you. Baby, there are all kinds of people in this world. We cannot change them but we can change our attitude toward them. Mummy hopes that you will grow up to be a confident and considerate young man. Mummy loves you very much.


Love Always,
Mummy!

Ethan Climbing Up and Down the Staircase By HIMSELF

Dearest Ethan Baby,

Mummy is so surprised to see you climbing up the staircase by yourself today and you was very determined to do it by yourself without any help from me. Though going down was a bit more challenging, you was still so determined to do it by yourself. Mummy was cheering you from top and was more happy than you when you make it to the top by yourself. Mummy is so proud of you and Mummy realised that you are growing up. Mummy wants to treasure even more of the time with you.


Love Always,
Mummy!
