The Big 3

Ethan is showing that he is 3 by holding up 3 fingers.


It is Ethan's birthday today and he turned 3. He has grown up so much these past few months...especially now that he is a big brother. He loves to sing his ABC's and counts up to 20. He is starting to sing songs with us and loves to be read to. He really enjoys going to the beach and getting sand all over him and has recently started playing more in the water. He is pretty much potty trained and he is usually running around in just his underwear (partly because it is easier and partly because it is so hot lately). He's using so many new words lately that we can actually have little conversations with him. He loves to wrestle with his daddy and whenever I get down on the floor to clean up or something, he jumps on my back ready to play. We've had to explain that wrestling is only with daddy. :o)


We had a party with some friends from church and had a great time. He seemed a bit overwhelmed by it and got whiny toward the end...but I think over-all he had a great time too. We had swimming in our blow up pool, a pinata (which took too long so we ended up tearing it open and dumping it on the ground), dinner and cupcakes and then topped it off by opening presents. Happy Birthday our sweet little boy!
