The boys

While sitting on the grass holding Ethan in my lap today I smelled him and said, "Yum, you smell handsome. Boys smell handsome and girls smell pretty." He then sniffs me and says, "Yum, you smell like trash!" We both got a good laugh out of this especially since he was so serious and was not trying to be funny.
"Oh, nuts!" is one of Ethan's new phrases. Don't know where he comes up with all these things!
After working on workbooks Ethan puts his pen behind his ear. I thought it was clever of him and then the next day he does it again. I finally realized Handy Manny (a children's show) puts a pencil behind his ear when he fixes things. I asked Ethan if he was Handy Manny and he said, "Yes!"
Ethan is starting to play better by himself. He also loves to play with Tanner and for the most part they play well together. Sometimes it's more torture for Tanner because Ethan wants him to sit and play with a certain toy or tries to get him to lay down with him when Tanner doesn't want to. Ethan is good at trading toys with Tanner and insists on giving Tanner a hug and kiss before every nap or bedtime. They already have a strong bond.
