My sweet, sweet Aden

On our way to today's Easter Egg Hunt, Aden told Ethan, "God is everywhere.... He's up in those clouds, He is in our hearts, He is on those leaves, He is in the flowers...." and on and on. I am one proud mom. Now excuse me while I find something to wipe my teary eyes.

Happy Easter 2012!

Praise God for this day. And we are fortunate to be able to spend this time with family. Here are some photos I took of the kids the other day at Grandma's house. Aren't these kids so beautiful? (What? No I'm not biased.)



Yes, it's Sluffy.

I love how Ethan says fluffy ("sluffy") so much that I'm only slightly ashamed to admit I don't correct him. He has always loved fluffy things since the first day he was born. He still asks for his sluffy blanket, his sluffy kitty and gets really put out if the pajamas I put on him at night aren't "sluffy enough." Oh Ethan, how incredibly adorable you are. If I ask him, "Is your blanket fluffy enough?" He'll say, "Yes, it's sluffy." Melt my heart!

Almost Diaper FREE!

I'm so excited for my baby boy - Ethan has been potty trained now for about two weeks! He peed in the potty at school one day after a long run of sitting on the potty but not really doing anything, and once he realized how this potty thing was supposed to go he ran with it. We didn't really have a lot of accidents, although this is still new so... knock on wood. He just really "got it."

We're still working on overnight training. He wakes up dry about half the time so we're not ready yet to go completely diaper free. But we are oh so close! Happy Good Friday indeed!

Sassy

At dinner, Ethan admitted he wasn't the best student today. Here's how that went:

Ethan: (looks guilty) I had to sit on the red line today.
Me: Why is that?
Aden: Because he wasn't a good listener.
Me: Were you not a good listener today?
Ethan (throws up his hands and shrugs his shoulders) It was an accident!
Me: I don't think it was an accident, I think you weren't listening very well.
Aden: Were you not listening well Ethan?
Ethan: I don't need your help Aden.

HA!

Big Boy Bike

Ethan got a new bike from Lola and Papa this week and he's a natural on this thing. Within minutes, he could pedal (even uphill), steer and even has the brakes down.

Check him out, he's doing do well on the bike! We took a few spins around the bike trail in the neighborhood today. It was such a beautiful day! 72 and sunny. We actually put on shorts!
