When Ethan is 2 years old and 2 weeks

Spelling
Ethan can spell more letters now. Last night, as we finished eating dinner at a pho restaurant, we took a walk down the restaurant complex. I tested him to spell the letters from the display words from the stores’ windows. He managed to spell a few of them correctly. Ex: A, B, C, D, E, F, M, H, O,...

Wait and stand in Line
Ethan understands when mommy told him to wait. He’s learning to stand in line now.

Saying 2 words
The most often phrase would be: mommy come, papi come, nai-nai come!

Understand us better
Ethan can understand pretty much what we say to him. Ex: Ethan, ride on your stroller when we arrive at the market, okay. And he replied: No, walk! He can now hold onto our hands when we walk in public places. He was not able to do this before,

Good appetite
Ethan looks chubbier nowadays. We just love to “cubit-cubit paha” Ethan. He also enjoys when we “cubit-cubit paha”-nya.

Make own story
Ethan would speak in his language and end the sentence in an understand word: Ex: “(gibberish talking)….No”. “(gibberish talking)….Okay”. “(gibberish talking)….tung-tung (hurt)”.

Imitate everything
I mean everything.. yeahhh….! He’s learning by watching us.

Remember directions
He knows which way to go to Ernie’s house (he’s our neighbor son). He knows which way to turn when mommy drives Nai-Nai to adult school (he sees the school on his left side and point it to that direction).

Learn to bath by himself
He can wet himself from hair to toe by using “gayung”.

Begin to understand there’s hot and cold
Before Ethan says “dingin” (meaning cold) to any temperature. Now he can say hot and cold.

Help Mommy and Nai-Nai buy grocery
Ethan can get the milk, bread and prepackaged chicken and put them into the trolley.
