Ethyl darling is now able to speak to Mom in mandarin. She is able to speak too many words that I lost count! She can relate to Mom incidents in mother tongue, speak simple hokkien and cantonese.
Ethyl is also able to write numbers 1, 2, 3, 7, 8,10, 11, 12, 13 and 18. I was both impressed and surprised by her being able to write at this age. It was never in my agenda to teach her writing (am skiving on my job again!). Her enthusiasm to learn really helps speed up learning. Her colouring has also improved heaps. She is able to control her movement and colour within the picture. As a Mommy, I am proud of her achievements!
For baby, we are doing well. As for the doting sis-to-be, she is always stroking my belly and sending kisses to her little sibling through my belly.
We went for our routine check up and baby is definitely growing well. Due to the growth rate, my EDD was brought forward. So far everything seems pretty fine. Still feeling tired and restless, but I should think we will be alright. I was once told not to carry heavy things, not to walk too much 
Another excitement that I am waiting for…our family gathering!!! We had our discussion with various reps from each family and concluded most of the things especially food for the gathering night. I can’t wait for december to come!!!
Excellent!
Ethyl is really doing very well.. Zara still has no interest to learn how to write or recognise characters.
And I think you having the baby now is a good timing too.. a 3yr + gap will make Ethyl an excellent sister.
