Bedtime update

Ethan is now going to sleep by himself at night after two stories. We turn off the light and say we are in the hallway and he goes to sleep. We stay in the hallway for a 15 minute and then go downstairs. He usually wakes at midnite or so and the last couple of days he's been waking quite frequently in the night but mostly because of his cold. Since going to be by himself, he has started waking at 7:30am which would have been 6:30am if the clocks hadn't moved forward. This has cause Adam and I to be quite tired as we miss him sleeping in till 8:30-9:00am. He usually gets out of his bed and comes barreling into our room, climbs into our bed and lies with us until he decides he is hungry, needs a wee or we all must get up and go downstairs! So definately earlier bedtimes are in order for Adam and I.

Easter Holidays

We had a fabulous time at Mama and Papa Zees. Lots of good food, easter egg hunt and egg rolling down the corridor. I made some rabbit cupcakes and easter cookies with a basket for them to go in. Yummy! Or as Ethan says... "Yummy Scrummy Good for my Tummy!!!" Pics to come. He absolutely loved it and Adam and I enjoyed it so much we forgot to capture it on film. I think the camera is angry at me as it's not getting used as much in the past...LOL. He also got on fabulously well with his cousin Jimi George who is just 6 weeks. Robin and Anna are happy to have the new edition in their lives if not a wee bit tired but that is to be expected. Jimi is very cute and was very well behaved. Eating, sleeping and being adorable. He's been a bit coughy this week and and icky snotty nose but otherwise happy as usual.

Ethan displaying my crafty toys for him

Photobucket Ethan has really been liking the story the Gruffalo so I made him this crown... Photobucket ..the mouse from the story on it. Photobucket These are Ethan's needle felted owls to help his with number recognition. He can count objects but doesn't recognize the number symbols. He now can proudly recognize number 1 and 2. Photobucket Below he is being cheeky... Photobucket This is his mushroom house that he doesn't really play with.. LOL. Photobucket Unfortunately, I have deleted by mistake all the photos and vids that I took of him feb- march- Boo hoo so will have to make up for it in the upcoming months.
