Baby Ethan is One Month Old


Baby Ethan is One Month Old
----April 10, 2020

Yes, it is never too early to start education to a baby. 
I, the proud grandpa, now is officially "twice" the papa and the teacher. 

With the help of his 3 years old sister, we gave the little boy a "show time" as a part of enrichment for this "shelter-in-place".

( Ella's day care center was closed. I drove 4 hours to my daughter's home for a good visit and to give her a hand, so to speak.)

This was an experiment that we did: To "stimulate" the baby ----- many scientists recognized that a baby starts to develop sense of hearing since in mother's womb. We discovered that baby Ethan not only could hear very well but also could respond to my facial expressions and moving objects near his sight. 

We asked his big sister Ella to perform a dance along with a music, and I was making my facial expressions accordingly. Interesting enough, baby Ethan was responding obviously. 

Here are some pictures to share:


Oh, yah! let me watch you.......

Really, you can do that.......


                                 
Ohhhhh.... can you do something more exciting? 


??????????????????????
Noooo! I am tired, I need mom ......


Basically, the little man was a good audience. 
Look at him,  he seemed like ready to give his sister a critique.

Well, we all had a good time while we all obeyed "shelter-in-place" in VA.
