Funny Boy

It's been forever since my last post. I've got plenty to update on - baby #3, trip to England, trip to Guatemala -  but in the meantime I wanted to tell you about my funny boy.

I love this stage Ethan is in. Yes, it is frustrating at times, when he stubborning shouts "No" when I ask him to do something, or when he cries/screams when we leave a fun activity, but those moments seem so small in comparison to the moments of joy. I love having a little buddy to hang out with all day long.

I love that he is talking so well. I love to have conversations with him. He's been so funny and sweet lately I wanted to document some of the things he's said:

• My mom and I were sitting out on her front porch while Ethan was running around in the front yard, we decided to try to teach him some spanish and started with "hola." We told him to say "hola" and as we were talking to him a neighbor drove by in his truck. He looked at us laughing and said "That's not Olaf that's an old man!" 
• About 4-5 months ago, Ethan took a bite of the laundry detergent pod and immediately threw up. I called poison control and he was fine but he hasn't forgotten about the experience. Rewind to a couple of weeks ago...I've been sick with this pregnancy and told Ethan one morning while he was in my room helping me sort the laundry that I felt sick and threw up earlier that morning. He looked at me very seriously and said "Did you bite the laundry?" I laughed and told him "No" He then said "Are you sure?" I had to then convince him that I did not bite the laundry pod. 
• When asking him if he wants a little brother or a little sister he smiles and says "I want children."
• He says "Mac and pony" for Macaroni
• I was giving him a bath one night and felt sick so I was laying on a pillow in the bathroom. He said to me "Mommy do you feel sick?" I responded with "Yeah I do but I'm okay" He then melted my heart and said "What can I do for you?" He is such a sweetheart!
• Lately he's been saying his own prayers at night. He starts "Dear Heavenly Father. Thanks to see mommy. Thanks to see daddy." He then goes on to say thanks for different activities and people we've seen that day. He is so smart!

I'm so spoiled with such a good hearted, funny, smart, little boy! I love you Ethan!
