Ethan now talks in full sentences and sometimes add the word "Now!" onto the end of his sentences as in: " Can you get me that. Please can you. (Pause) Now!" He has started to enjoy having his picture taken again but for some reason squints his eyes up when he is smiling and saying cheese. Hee hee!
He is getting better on his balancing bike and loves balancing one foot on his police motorbike rocker. He also loves talking on the phone.
He has taken to gymnastics on the couch and often climbs to the top of it and walks across announcing that it is a tightrope.
He loves doing jumping jacks and riding his bike and one of the latest discoveries is home made playdoh and the fun of making worm pies.
Another game he likes to play is to be the grocery store cashier and pull the grocery through his till which it beeps and then makes Adam give him money to pay for it. Very cute. His favorite shows are mostly on DVD at the moment. They include Lazytown Sportacus on the Move and Snow Monster and other Stories Backyardigans Mission to Mars He also love Alphablocks on Cbeebies which promotes phonics and putting words together. He has a fierce love for baking and we have been baking alot. He does everything from cracking the eggs (no shells in the bowl either), adding all the ingredients and even helping me to use the electric mixer. He also drops the dough onto the cookie sheet or spoons the cake mixture in paper muffin cases. Just this past week we made 24 strawberry flavored muffins and 56 coconut, oatmeal raisin cookies. Hey the recipe said it yields 20 cookies so it wasn't our fault. Now a week and half later we still are eating cookies. HAHAHA! January also has been the month where Ethan has decided that he is ready for potty training. He now goes to preschool with only underpants and boxers under his trousers. There have been a few misses and one poop that his teacher Laura had to clean up. There will definately be a bottle of wine for her at the end of the school year as a thank you gift. He's getting better and does extremely well at home. Both Adam and I intitially let him either have his underpants on or nothing at all and just trousers so it was no wonder when it was time to go to school he wanted to go "commando" under his trousers. Now we just put the underpants in his pants and pull them up as one. LOL. Yup, it has been a steep learning curve for both Ethan and us! HAHAHA! He only wears nappies during naptime and evenings. Today he has tried standing up to pee in his potty... he got distracted watching TV and his aim was off and he proceeded to wee in an arc onto the floor. Not good! LOL!
As you can tell , he's pretty cheeky!
