A beautiful mind

Its Mummy's turn to write from her perspective today. This past month has indeed been a challenging month - grappling with the demands of work, managing Ethan's tantrums and this irrational cloud of jealousy that clouds his good nature. Hence, in order to reassure him of our love, we have decided to set aside more alone time for him and have even instituted a countdown method to help him transition out of his crying tantrums. Its worked well for us so far. *fingers crossed*.

His grasp of mandarin has improved tremendously and now, he can even speak to us a few sentences in Chinese. I will never forget his first sentence as I was rubbing my nose, he asked me "妈妈, 你的鼻子怎么了?"

But most of all, Ethan never fails to amaze me with the most thought provoking questions that you would never think could be uttered by a 2 and a half year old. Just earlier this week, we were walking around the wading pool outside our home and we had this conversation:

Ethan: Mummy, why does the water come out of the pool?

Mummy: There is someone splashing about you see so they pushed the water out.

Ethan: Oh...then why isn't the level of the water coming down?

The next day, he asked me another question after observing the pool:

Ethan: Mummy, why are the waves going in the opposite directions?

Mummy: Well, because the water didn't get pushed out of the pool, it had enough energy to change directions. (Doesn't this sound alot like Physics to you?)

Its amazing how his mind works...I'm looking forward to more conversations with my boy already. Here is my latest favourite shot of him looking all suave and handsome. Love you loads my darling.
