Chores with Daddy!

There is nothing quite as special as morning chores with daddy!!! :)

Well, Ethan is LOVING the holidays!! Missmiss is EVERYWHERE, and he loves it.

Milestones:
*The talking is going CRAZY! He's putting all kinds of words together, and he repeated his first full sentence last week. He was demanding that his daddy change the batteries in a toy. Jesse looked at Ethan and said, "You have not once said, 'Daddy, change the batteries, PLEASE.'." Ethan then repsonded by repeating, "Daddy, change bah-ees, PEEEZ!"
*He is now counting to 3! TWO is still his favorite number though!
*Ethan understands the concept that when we leave, we always come BACK. In fact, if he runs an errand with his daddy or goes to his room for a minute, he comes to me after stating "BACK" followed by a big hug!

Birthdays are the BEST!

December 5, 2007!! Ethan turned TWO!!!!
We started the morning with present opening followed by a French Toast FEAST! We then played with our new toys all morning long until it was time for a bath, snack and nap. After Ethan woke up from his nap, he chose BOCA for lunch (yes, Ethan LOVES Boca Burgers!), and then we hit the kitchen to bake cupcakes!
Strawberry Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing and Sprinkles. Ethan did a great job of pouring all of the ingredients and enjoyed watching the batter get mixed. After carefully placing our cupcakes into the very hot oven, we sat in front of the oven for 20 full minutes with the light on watching them bake. It was oh, so exciting. Ethan's next job was to put the sprinkles on after mama spread the icing. It went well at first until the remaining sprinkles landed on a single cupcake! BUT The best part of making cupcakes is the TASTE TEST! YUM!
Daddy came home very soon after that, and we all hopped in the car for a fun evening of pizza (Ethan's favorite food) and entertainment at Chuck E. Cheese's. GREAT FUN!
After that Ethan got cupcake #2!!!!!!! Of course he wanted MORE!!!!! OF COURSE!!!!!!!

Birthday Boy tomorrow!!!!!

Well, we will be celebrating Ethan's second Birthday as a family at "cheese cheese" (Chuck E. Cheese's) where we will eat Ethan's FAVORITE food, PIZZA! He has never been to Chuck E. Cheese's, but for some reason, he iss VERY excited about it!!!! We have been counting down the days! LITERALLY.

Ethan is also VERY excited about "MissMiss" (Christmas). He likes to inform us of all the things he wants. "wannit!" Yesterday, I said, "Ethan, you certainly want a lot of things these days." He looked at me matter-of-factly and and said, "Missmiss." Oh no! I must say that he does like getting gifts for people as well, esp his buddy Ella.
