Little asher boy is 2 years and 8 months and started pre-school last week. And the poor little guy has been crying his eyes out for a few days now. Unlike his indifferent jiejie two years ago, Asher is still rejecting the notion of school being fun and nice. We have been wrestling him into his school uniform since he started despite preparing him for the big day months ago.
In fact he follows big sis to school for drop off and pick up everyday for the past year but obviously, going to school himself is a different ball game altogether. Haha...of course we shrug it off as most folks tell us this is perfectly normal but we also really hope he will grow to love the school routine soon.

As I write this updated entry now, we have almost come to the end of Asher's first year at school. He spent every morning from day one kicking, screaming and crying and have to be carried in by one of the teachers. Until finally in April, in the week he turned three where he declared he was three years old and would not cry anymore. He still does occasionally do it once in a while and definitely the more emo one out of my kids.
Asher has since come a long way now. While he is not as precocious as his big sister, he is also a fan of using big words and complete sentences. Math doesn't seem like his cup of tea though as he always misses the number 16 while counting to 20 (Aly at this stage was already into times tables and division). Asher also refused to speak Mandarin altogether. However, his observation skills and ability to put two and two together is no weaker than his sister.
Asher's favorites are cars, trucks, trains, snakes, dinosaurs. His favorite TV shows are Blazer and the Monster Machines, Thomas the Train, Chuggington and Robocar Poli. He loves his lego and toy brachiosaurus and Robocar Poli toy characters. He loves to eat sweet stuff especially chocolate and chocolate cookies.
Asher is super affectionate and tells me and his daddy that he loves us everyday with accompanying hugs and kisses. With his handsome korean good looks, I definitely don't mind all the attention from this cutie pie!
