Our son is growing up

Tick Tock Shark

Everytime, Ethan takes a nap at our store, he would ask me to read "Tick Tock Shark". One day, I've been trying to put Ethan to bed for 2 times but he hadn't fallen asleep yet. When i tried to put him to bed for the 3rd time, the store was busy but he told me that he wanted to sleep. So i read the book fast from the beginning to the end. He complained: Slow, mommy.

The next week we came to the store and it was Ethan's nap time. As we walked to his bedroom, he told me this: No fast, mommy. Slow, okay?! I laughed, he remembered what happened last week and reminded me to read his "Tick Tock Shark" book slowly.

Deep and Wide Sunday School Song

As Mommy and Ethan were driving home from school, he was listening to Deep and Wide Song. Ethan responded: Papi piano (meaning, papi plays this song on his piano). Then i asked him, "what about, mommy?". Ethan answered: "Mommy, in the kitchen. hot, hot..cooking food, no touching ok?!" I replied: Mommy cook for who, Ethan? Ethan: "For me, nyummy nyummy for my tummy".

Visiting Neighbor

Last Friday, Ethan and I visited our neighbor who gave birth to her 2nd child. Ethan was playing with her older son, he was about 3 months older than him. But the playtime didn't go smoothly as 2 of preschoolers trying to learn to play together, sharing, and play nicely. Ethan asked me to go home instead. I told Papi what happened and he responded: "Koko hurt me, Koko no share". I hope the next visit will be better.

Don't Be Afraid

Ethan has been learning about Bible at school. I would review the lessons at home from time to time. A few of the story that we reviewed was about Daniel & the Lion and David & Goliath. What happened to them and why Daniel survived in the lion cage and why David won over the Giant Goliath. We learned that they have Jesus in their hearts. I would then keep on reminding Ethan if he's afraid of something, don't be afraid since we have Jesus in our heart.

One afternoon, as the days were getting hotter last week, i took him for a walk around our neighborhood. We have many neighbors that have dogs in their houses. As we walked, i told him to turn right instead of left, since the houses on our left hand side have many dogs. But he insisted of turning left instead. I told him that mommy is scared of dogs. He would then responsed: No mommy, don't be afraid. You have Jesus in heart". I smiled when i heard him say that, meaning that he remembered what i told him about not being afraid. We walked and walked and suddenly we heard a dog barking. Ethan stopped and turned the other way and said: "I'm scared, mommy". hahahahaha....we then walked the other way. Of course, this would be different if Nai-Nai or Papi accompany us in our afternoon walk. Well, with Nai-Nai, she's not afraid of dogs. With Papi, he would speed our way passing thru the houses with the dogs :)
