Ethan's birthday at the centre

This are the photos from his birthday celebration at his childcare centre. Ethan shared his special day in the childcare centre with his friends. He had his Bob the Builder cake in the afternoon. He was grumpy because he just woke up but loved his cake.

Queensland Multicultural Festival

We went to Roma Street Parklands in Brisbane last Sunday to celebrate the QLD multicultural festival. Ethnic foods are sold in different areas of the park. The homemade ice cream though expensive was so delicious. Different stage were setup for performances. We went home with loads of different variety of free gourmet potato chips. :-)

It's Spring in OZ!

As part of spring celebration here in Brisbane, Kuraby Early Learning Centre has a yellow colour theme of the day. Tuesday is Yellow Day. And here are Krystina and Ethan in their yellow clothes before going to school this morning.

Ethan with Miss Tracy, his favourite teacher

Krystina busy writing.

Meanwhile, their Dad is back from San Francisco, CA and this is what
Ethan received. A baseball shirt from Alcatraz. It is a size 5 and way too
big for him but Ethan thinks its cool.

*Krystina's present from Dad is this dress*

The Simpsons and Ethan

Everybody knows The Simpsons, even Ethan loves watching them. Although a lot of people especially parents with young children trying to avoid watching it because of some use inappropriate words which is not good for growing kids.

But anyway, good guidance and discipline is what makes you a good or better person.

Below are photos of Ethan wearing his favourite shirt which is of course Bart Simpsons.

He always touch 'Bart' to make sure he's still wearing the shirt and that no one can take it out of him:-)
