21 months....

silly face

Somewhere between 18 months and 21 months Ethan has turned into a shy, cuddly little boy.  I am loving the out-of-no-where tight hugs and kisses.  Ethan took a Music with Mommie class when he was baby.  Now, we have restarted Music Class now that it is offered closer to our new house.  It has been amazing to see the changes from Ethan at 11 months old to now in the class.

One of my favorite moments with Ethan lately was eating popcorn watching the Academy Awards together.  I was rushing home from work and David called and said Ethan was already sleeping:(  However, when I got home, David was upstairs because Ethan had woken up.  I gladly ran upstairs to put him back down to sleep.  I couldn't get him to sleep....he was wound up.  So I took him downstairs sat him on the couch and made popcorn.  We watched the Oscars and munched together (and clapped a little).  Who knew watching the Oscars with your 21 month old could be so fun?

Ethan got this sandbox/kiddie pool/picnic table from my Dad for his birthday.  We used it for a pool last summer, but I thought it would be fun to put sand in it for the spring.  I had no idea that two 50 pound bags of sand could bring so much joy.  I wish I had it on video the first time I put Ethan's bare feet into the sand.  I thought "okay, so maybe not a hit.".  Then I handed him a tonka truck and the little boy kicked in.  He sat in that sandbox for 2 hours and was upset when I took him out of it.  He loved it!  I am  looking forward to more spring-like days outside.
