Note left for Daddy when Ethan went away for a few nights!


Ethan received a new bed from his Papa and Shisha and Grant did just fine in it the first night. Made it through the whole night. Yes, I meant to type Grant. Grant loves the new bed and believes that Ethan needs more time for cuddling all of a sudden. The funny part is, Ethan will crawl up, over, on-top of him (pretty much sounds like a circus from the other room) and come crawl in with me without Grant even knowing. Ethan loves to cuddle with his momma!

Isn't independence suppose to create less work for parents?


Ethan independently washes and drys his hands. We have yet to master putting the towel back as well as not touching the wall, doorframe and door on the way to washing his hands. I think I might start putting a nickel in a jar everytime I pick the towel up and see where it gets me. Three nickels will be deposited if I pick it up after the 33 year old, not the 3 year old...

Can choice of toys be genetic?


For those of you who can remember my childhood room...it is starting to happen in my 3 year olds room (but I have contained the animal party to his closet). As a child, I LOVED stuffed animals. As an adult, I HATE stuffed animals. I think they are the most useless toy. My parents are much better then I for letting, ohhhh probably close to 100 stuffed animals to be show-cased in my room. Thank goodness Ethan likes to rotate them, choosing the ONE he likes to sleep with. I can hear their little voices saying...pick me...pick me...when it comes to rotation time!!!

Is this Grant in college?

Here's Ethan (on a different day from an earlier post) sleeping on our couch. And yes, he was breathing!

What happens at G-ma B's, stays at G-ma B's!!!
