Drawing of us

This is the first drawing of ethan's that actually resembles a person.
Ok, so I did draw the nice round circle and the cowboy hat on the
left, but the rest was him. This is actually a picture of Ethan on the
left and me on the right. He drew a neck and a tummy for the bodies.
I did ask Ethan if they were happy and he said that they are thinking.
Not too bad for an almost 3 year old.

Ethan has started using new words that I don't think he learned from
us. The latest ones are jealous and command. He said that I was
jealous, bur he wasn't sure what it meant when I asked him. He also
commanded me to come play with him tonight. I told him that he should
ask instead of commanding...we'll see if this one pops up again.

I also started Ethan on a learn to read program. It is "teach your
child to read in 100 easy lessons". He is doing pretty good at it so
far. The hard part is to keep him focused. I read in a review for the
book that someone used stuffed animals as guest presenters to help
teach. I tried it today and it worked out well. Sebastian (ethan's
husky) helped out today. He will be reading In no time!

Napper

Ethan wanted to take a nap on the couch today instead of in his
bedroom. He still insisted on having layers of blankets though. He
actually slept really well and through all my busy work around him.

Go Cardinals!

Friday was football shirt day at daycare. Ethan got to break out his
cardinals jersey for the first time this season. We had a busy day
going to the slide, the pet store and lunch with the cousins. Ethan
and Kal were great the whole time. I couldn't help taking the picture
of Kal snoozing with his hands crossed. He looks like such an angel!
