{Ethan}: Ethan Turns Three!

Ethan,

You amaze us. From writing your own name (with a lot of instruction from mom!), to accidentally doing math, we have really enjoyed this year. You learned numbers, letters, and colors, started to color with intention and string along better sentences. You've picked up on some attitude that came with turning three, which has us reading a few books. We can still reason with you most of the time, and you respond well to Daniel Tiger songs (thanks PBS).

We've loved being your parents these last three years and look forward to the year ahead!

Love you forever, like you for always,

Mom & Dad

Stuff Ethan Says No. 3

This one is from Austin:

After waking up Ethan, I picked him up and we flew to the potty. Once there he looked up at me and said "Daddy? I'm happy."

Things that make you cry on a Sunday! Love this one.

Stuff Ethan Says No. 2

We have two today, and it's only noon!

This morning, while building train tracks with Austin:

Austin: Aw, Ethan! You knocked it with your butt!

Ethan: (turning and sticking his tush out) I got a butt! I got a butt!

--

Just a few minutes ago, after using the potty, Ethan runs out of the bathroom, to the playroom where Hannah and Daddy are, and puts his hand out, saying "one second, one second. I gotta get M&Ms." This kid has priorities! He wants to play with his sister but he definitely needs to get his potty reward first! Ha!

He says the darnedest things!

Stuff Ethan Says No.1

I should definitely be asleep already. I have a three month old, so good sleep is NOT guaranteed. Also, the toddler has started requesting night lights and is generally afraid of things he wasn't aware of before, so I should sleep now as some kind of insurance policy. You know, just in case...

BUT, I just had this genius idea to record #stuffEthansays because, let's be real. Toddlers are hilarious. He's learning numbers and the alphabet and how to get my attention, and it's adorable. 

This morning in the car (AKA swagger wagon), I was a little preoccupied with the winding traffic in front of me, when...

Ethan: Mommy! Mommy! WHOO! Mommy!

Me: Yes, Ethan?

Ethan: Mommy, where go cows?

We pass two pastures on our way to MDO, and his cows weren't close to the road today. But seriously, y'all. He said "whoo!" like you would whistle to get someone's attention! Whoever taught him this, it's adorable... For now.

Just a kid and his heart balloon in the swagger wagon! ❤️
