Another Ethan Quote

Another great quote from Ethan tonight as we were driving home from Costco: Ethan: "Daddy! Home is that way!" ME: "No it's not silly, home is this way." Ethan:"Don't be bossy."

From the mouth of babes....

I kid you not... This is word for word out of Ethan's mouth tonight.... ME: "Okay Ethan, that was last story, time for Dad to tuck you in." Ethan: "ooooorrr.... another option is that we go into Daddy's room and play?" ---> Where does he come up with this stuff (he's just barely 3 years old)??

Rainbow

We saw a beautiful rainbow this morning outside our house. Ethan took
the picture. :)

We have a climber!

Kal was playing on the floor and decided to climb up next to the couch
from a crawling position. He was very proud of himself and now he
keeps trying to do it again. We will definitely be lowering the crib
this weekend!

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!
