Ethan lately...

Lately Ethan has been a nonstop jumping, always casting his fishing pole {yes in the house near the china}, mine-o-saur, dancing machine, and ice cream sandwich sneaking little boy.  He is finally adjusting to day school with less tears at drop off thank goodness.  This momma could hardly take the tears and cling wrapped toddler anymore!  David and I both felt torn between "he is only two maybe it is too early but he is already talking much more and learning so much" topic.

I am loving how helpful he has become at this age.  He loves helping me in the kitchen.  We recently baked homemade oatmeal raisin cookies.  I was amazing at how long it held his attention since it took quite some time.

David and Ethan spend the weekend getting our lawn ready for fall.  After David aerated the lawn, Ethan helped toss the grass seed on the lawn.  He then helped me plant a few fall flowers and bulbs in the back yard.  I can't wait for fall!

Sunday we hosted a Grandparents Day Breakfast.  Ethan loved having Nana and Papa over for the morning!  We missed Grandpa and Grandma:(  They were on the west coast for a family wedding and couldn't make it.  Ethan is fortunate to have such amazing grandparents!
