What has Ethan been up to these days?? LOTS of good stuff! His language has improved so much, and his speech teacher thinks he's pretty much caught up to his same-age peers! Whew! Such a relief! So . . . .now that Ethan can talk, what do we hear him say?
"Come on, Mama!" - This is used to hustle me up when I am being too slow - for example, I was being too slow putting in the "Barney Visits the Fire Station" movie today and Ethan, exasperated, uttered this phrase.
"Triangle - 3 sides, Square - 4 sides, Octagon - 8 sides!" - He is really into shapes right now, thanks to Blues Clues.
"Five-eighteen" - Ethan is well on his way to being able to count to 30. However, numbers 13-17 are a bit fuzzy. For example, instead of saying "Fifteen" he says, "Five-eighteen." Close enough. Also, he loves to count everything he sees!
"Nice and Cute" - pronounced, "Nice and Dute." Pretending to be a kitty has been fun for Ethan lately for some odd reason. When he decides to be a kitty, he tilts his head to the side and announces that he is nice and cute in a high voice. Very funny. So then we go on playing that he is a kitty. He's always white, when asked his color - his name varies from "Ethan" to "Esther" (his baby-sitter). Mommy always has to be the doggie. I really would like a turn being kitty sometime.
So, that's a glimpse into our daily life with Ethan. He LOVES trucks, cars, swimming in the pool, playing in the sandbox, and watching movies. His current favorite book is "Chicka-Chicka Boom Boom." Although he can be a handful sometimes (like most 2 1/2 year olds!) he is so lovable and fun!
