Updates and Our 7mo Boy
Ethyl's scar is healing pretty well. Her dressing was changed and the Doctor assures that looking at the way it is healing and closing u, most likely there'll be no obvious scarring as she grows older.
As a Mom, I felt much relieved upon the doctor's assurance. However, I still would want to heed advise from my Dermatologist to ensure that the scar will be minimally visible.
Ethyl has been taking this incident pretty well. I can see she is still very afraid of going to the doctor after her saga many months back. I would say I am a proud Mommy as my girl is still brave eventhough she is struggling within herself to walk into the clinic. Well done, Baby!
As for our 7mo bub, he is thriving well. It's a shame that I am unable to spend alot of time with him at this point in time, I try to be as hands-on as much as I could.
I am hoping he'll grow up faster so that I can bring both Ethyl and himself out for some fun on weekends.
He is eating quite a bit as usual, but no matter how he eats, his peaking metabolism rate will burn the food and milk he takes in and he is only weighing 7.4kg. I am not worried, Ethyl was alos in the 25th percentile in terms of weight when she was a baby. Look at her now, she is one of the tallest in class and oh, I almost forgot to update...she is one of the best in class too! *beaming Mommy*
Brayden adores Ethyl. I am really glad for this fact!
Back to Ethyl...I went to collect her final term report card and this time, the teacher in charge didn't open the book like before. She laid the book on the table and said, "Ethylyn's doing very well. She is very smart and is one of the best in class."
I was quite shocked to hear this actually. They do not measure the students using grades, but through the daily work and activities, the teachers observe that she can grasps the various topics well especially so for phonics. Her Math is also good. Hubby's worry at this point is pretty redundant. He felt that Ethyl's Math is very weak and we need to work on that.
Another point the teacher brought up...all along, during the past sessions, they would say Ethyl is a quiet girl and I told them she wasn't. They never believe me, and this time the teacher commented, "Ethylyn, Wenxi, Shermaine and Joiee Ma are the top students for English class, however, when the 4 girls are together, they we very loud and talkative. We had no choice, but to seperate them into for different tables." I laughed at this comment!
"Ethylyn is also very vocal and the same 4 girls would ask questions when the lesson is going on. This is very good! That is also one reason why they are doing well."
As for the chinese teacher, she told me she likes Ethyl. She is very all-rounded and for Chinese class, both Ethyl and her best friend Wenxi are the top. Both girls as usual loves to talk, however, Li laoshi loves Ethyl more because she is able to follow instructions and pay attention when told to stop talking.
This time, my little girl makes me feel proud of her. I hope her enthusiasm in learning will continue...
I did praise her on our way back, however, my usual sentence is, "I can see you are putting in effort, and I hope you will continue to do so".

Ouch!
Heart pain!!!
We went swimming and Ethyl was pushed by another girl in the toilet and she hit herself against the basin, resulting in a cut! Parts of her flesh exposed and I freaked out! Oh, it'll leave a scar!
She was brave and didn't cry. It was Ann who found out she was bleeding then we knew what happened. Poor girl...fortunately, the scar was superficial, but leaving behind a scar is bad enough (eventhough it is on the chin).
For cosmetic purposes, I requested for the GP to "glue" the wound and leave a small little "line", instead of a open scar.
Poor girl...how i wish I was not so distracted by the little boy and could keep a more watchful eye on her to avoid such accidents. Bad Mommy!
The picture here indeed display a pretty superficial wound. But this is not a scratch as her flesh was exposed.

November Birthday
Has been busy lately, and will continue to be busy probably till our holidays.
Today is supposed to be Hubby's birthday, he is at work, and will not be back home till next morning. I am home alone today as well. Both babies are at Mom's because I had to leave home at 6am and reach ICA by 8am to collect Ethyl's passport (another long story...sigh).
This is a short entry to update on Ethyl's birthday and some pictures. How fast, my gal is 4yo and 2 days now, time I update my ticker!
I have not much pictures to show as it is quite a challenge to manage 1 tot and 1 baby when we were out. Ethyl's actual day of birthday, we brought her to IMM's Swensen's and had dinner with her. I bought her a Disney Princess, Belle, watch and she was so happy! She kept telling me she was very happy on the day itself!
This year's birthday is not ideal, and told her, because of both Hubby's and mine busy schedules, we'll make up to her during the HK trip. She is very contented and assured us that she is perfectly fine and is truly happy with us spending time with her and staying together as a family.
Oh no! I looked so haggard here!

Preparations (part II)
Counting down to our trip! Almost a month to go, and I have settled the air tickets and accomodation. Next on the list is to work out the itinerary.
Been busy to read blogs and even if I do read, I will not be able to leave comments. I hope friends out there do not mind :)

Happy Birthday to Our 4yo Princess!!!
This is remarkable! We have Ethyl with us for 4 beautiful years!
Today marks her 4th year in our lives. She is now no longer a baby (though I still call her baby), but a toddler who is able to make some decisions for herself and voice her opinions.
From being a baby till now, she has been a child who makes me feel proud of her. Her sensibility and understanding at such tender age does exceed my expectations.
Just last week, she said something that made me so touched.
“Mommy, I love you too much! You beat me and scold me sometimes, but I know you mean well Mommy, I won’t be angry and I will still love you so much! You also love me so much right? That is why you scold me right?”
We had a lousy birthday for her last Saturday over at East Coast Park (ECP), she was a little disappointed, but she assured me that she was happy to be able to play sand and water.
I will update the “lousy” part soon…
