Mommy is too tired to post any pictures tonight, due to the Eleva Broiler Fest activities this weekend. Last night I spent time in Eleva with some friends while daddy stayed home with the kids. Today we switched places - daddy played with his band at BF and mommy stayed home with the kiddos.
We spent the morning with Ben, Oliver, Aunt Jenny, Grandma and Grandpa, and then came home. Mommy was running on 3 hours of sleep and daddy had to leave at 10:00 this morning to set up so it has been a long day. Macie was unusually fussy today, and it was apparent that her teeth were bothering her again. After the kids had their naps, we took a long walk and went to 3 different parks. That is definitely a perk of living where we do, there are many parks to walk to! It was a very fun day with the kids, and beautiful weather as well.
Ethan has been very fun lately (since the last posting!). He is so happy and excited about things. He loves reading his books and surprises me with how much he knows from them. Like today we were reading "Barney Goes to the Doctor," and he would fill in words as I read - (I'd say, "Barney goes to the . . ." and he would supply "Doctor!") When reading the page about opposites in another book, mommy said "full" and he supplied, "Empty!" I had no idea he knew that.
His speech has been coming along so well also. It's been fun because he will finally repeat - or attempt to repeat - pretty much anything you ask him to. (he would never do that before). Ethan's favorite thing to learn about is numbers. He's pretty close to being able to count to 20. (Not that anyone other than mom and dad can understand him!) He will also look at a set of objects in a picture or real life and say how many there are (up to 4).
There - I felt like I needed to give Ethan some positive accolades after the negative press he's been getting in the blog :) Pictures from this weekend will come soon.
