On 3 Dec, Ethan went to watch a children's play. The children all went in a bus (how exciting!) to a theatre called North Edinburgh Arts Centre to watch 'The Ceilidh Tree'. Parents could join as volunteers, to help with taking care of the children. Too bad both Jianming and I were too busy, and Ethan -well, Ethan couldn't remember the show or narrate to us much. He remembered more about being on the bus and told us something about a hammer and Tristan's mother.
The nursery also had this postal service for children to send Christmas cards to one another (by placing the cards in their pigeon holes). Here shows Jianming trying to get Ethan to at least write his name for the cards for some of his best friends - Tristan, Leonard, Cole, Joseph and also those that had given him cards.
The set of Christmas cards he received and the Christmas tree and the Christmas Tree Advent Calendar I got for half price in Dec:
On 12 Dec, the school had a Christmas carol session where parents were invited to attend. So Jianming went - and took pictures of Ethan dressed up as soldier - using my handphone as he did not have the camera with him. The children would dress up and act as various characters while Christmas songs were being sung.
On 17 Dec, they had a Christmas party! Parents were invited for the last half an hour. Jianming told me Ethan's cheeks were stained with chocolate when he got there. There, Ethan got his first Christmas present from Santa Claus. Well, his second, strictly speaking, he had some sweets from another Santa Claus in another event which I will talk about in another blog entry.
Christmas present from Santa:
Sometime in autumn, the teacher, together with Ethan, planted a daffodil bulb in a pot. It was his to bring home, and he is to water it occasionally and to wait for spring. Well, we await in eagerness.
