He really blossomed at school this year. He has so many little friends that I can't keep up. Every time I dropped him off or picked him up there would be kids in the parking lot yelling his name. He'd say hi and always know who they were and which class they were in. His teacher said he was really well behaved and really excelled in math. Guess he got that from Daddy because it certainly wasn't from me!
He has so many cute sayings. I wish I could remember them all. He doesn't really stutter anymore. I guess his brain was just learning so many new things his mouth couldn't keep up! He has trouble with tenses right now. Like when he's looking for something he'll say, "I just haved it." Or he'll say, "I think someone tooked it." I think it's cute. I know that will all sort out once he's back in school. He really misses school and is ready to go back.
He is still really into superheros. Mainly Spiderman and Batman. I think he has most of the action figures. I need to get him some more costumes. He still wears his Spiderman one from Halloween but the zipper is broken and won't go up. He'll put it on complete with mask and gloves and sneak around the corner and scare the heck out of me. He also does this Spiderman crawl with it on. It's pretty cool.
He still loves to dance. If he hears music, no matter where we are, he will start dancing. He even dances everytime my cell phone rings. It is just some guitar song that came with the phone. We went to the mall today and he would stop outside every store we passed with music and start dancing. Pretty funny but it slowed me down because I had to keep turning around and tell him to stop dancing and keep walking.
This is him "swimming". He refuses to let us teach him how to swim because he claims that he already knows how. But trust me, he doesn't...at all. We tried swim lessons last year but decided to skip it this year and teach him ourselves. He has such a fear of anyone taking him out in the middle of the water but I don't know why. We plan on spending a lot of time at my parent's pool this summer to work on his skills.
Hey, who wouldn't like this set up? No wonder he wants to go to Nana and Papa's all the time!
He LOVES to help Papa cook the mashed potatoes. And he's always available to be the "taster".
He loves to drive this car at my parent's house. It's pretty cool. On cold or rainy days, my mom will put it in the garage and he'll drive around for a long time.
Here he is with his cousin, my nephew, Blaine. He is obsessed with him. I guess they are so chummy because they are the only boys (besides Caleb but he's a little too small to be cool yet).
Sporting their hats together. Whatever Blaine does, Ethan does. You hear that Blaine? You better be a good example to my little angel!
He loves to go to see "the baseball" and to see "Hamilton" play. Although I'm still not sure if he knows who Josh Hamilton is. I think he thinks he is the mascot! But, we sure have fun taking him to see the Rangers (minus little Caleb). He's already fired up to go to the new football stadium and so are we! Everytime we drive by it he wants to know if it's done yet.
He sure loves his brother. He comforts him when he cries...unless he is the cause then he is nowhere to be found! I'll find Caleb screaming and Ethan hiding. When I ask him what happened his answer is always "he bonked his head". Even when there is nothing near that he could've bonked his head on. He does a good job of making him laugh and keeping him entertained when I need him to...especially in the car. He's a great big brother!
He loves to help me cook...especially when it's spaghetti (one of his favorites). He wants to stir it and put in the sauce.
Of course he wants to taste it and see if it's ready.
If you look close you'll see the new sandwich he invented. It's white bread, no crust, lettuce, and ranch dressing. It's a "salad sandwich". At least there is lettuce involved!
He is still very picky about what he eats. Here's the basic list: bologna, mac & cheese, chips, spaghetti (red or cheesy), pizza, salad, occassionally chicken strips, french fries, onion rings, waffles, pancakes. That's about it. I can't really say much because I was, and still am, a picky eater. In this picture, he was eating a piece of bologna and said, "Look! It's Batman!" Pretty cool.
He likes to dress up in Daddy's clothes. I was really impressed with this shirt. He did all the buttons by himself! This was at a family gathering at my parent's house. I looked over and Ethan was just singing quietly to himself. It's some song he made up. Pretty cute.

It;s completly normal for him to mix up tenses at his age just FYI he's still learning what speech is and means. Also if you want to bring the Spiderman costum to the 4th I'll have it fixed at my work.
