Ethan the Explorer!

Well, here is an update about our sweet little Ethan. He is 2 and all 2. He is our little explorer...always into everything, trying to figure it out. He is a fun little boy...but such a handful at times! He likes it to be his way, or no way. But he is learning...

He is very much into trains! In fact the other day, while he was eating a snack, he stood up on his booster seat to see the TV when he saw that Thomas the Train had come on. He was shouting "tain, tain, tain!" I finally got him down and he ran over to the TV set and started pointing and getting all excited. (Normally he doesn't care at all what's on TV.)

Ethan loves to play with trains, especially the geotrax set we have set up in their room. He also loves books about trains. For a while, the only book he wanted to read was an Usborne book with flaps, called "Trains." But Ethan loves to sit in mommy's lap and read all kinds of books, but that Train book is definitely his favorite.

He also like to stack blocks, and play in the tent with big brother. And you can still catch Ethan playing in other people's shoes and dressing up in the many play hats that we have.

Ethan is still trying to learn how to say his words. He can sign some words, and is now saying a few...such as "pig", "tain" (for train), and "cow", as well as "ma" and "daee", for mommy and daddy. I'm hoping that when big brother starts school, he will start to speak more.

But in all that Ethan does, he really does bring many smiles to our faces. We are so thankful for our little Ethan!

Hope you enjoy the pix below!

"Want to play blocks with me?"

Such a great smile...makes me wonder what he's in to now?
