Not sure if Ethan is just going through a phase or if he's already got Mommy's crazy 'neat freak' gene. Everything he sees on the floor that is "ockie," (spelling?) he has to pick it up and either hand it to me or go and put it in the garbage himself. All Sasha's little tufts of hair get picked up by hand these days, and he also found some dried up leaves from a plant that fell on the floor and he picked each one up separately and brought them to me. He is, just in general, good at helping to pick things up though, so it's not just the yucky stuff. Even Lauren made a comment when I picked him up on Friday, that he just is sucha helper. I realize that one day he will probably put up quite a fight to help me pick up his toys, but I'll take it now, while I can get the help.
Some cute things he's been saying lately:
*When you put his sunglasses on him, he immediately says "dude" - very cute!
*I let Sasha out this morning and she knows she gets a biscuit afterwards. I made her sit and then I gave her the treat and he immediately said, "good girl", which is usually what I follow up with after she properly sits and gets her treat. This one seriously blew me out of the water when he beat me to the punch! The things that he is attuned to!!
Here's a cute picture of Ethan in his duck towel after a bath:
We also had Uncle Patrick spend the night Friday night after we went to dinner with my side. Ethan kept saying "uncle" around Patrick.
Little bit of dancing before bedtime.

It's crazy what they pick up, isn't it? One day I said "dang it" in front of Bella and she was saying it for the next few hours. Oh be careful little mouths what you say is a good reminder for me right now!! :)
Ethan is so cute, I love the towel pic and update.
As one learns in linguistic studies, children are veritable language sponges. They'll learn and learn fast beyond what you'd believe possible. If you think foreign language is a good idea, you should have some manner of allowing Ethan to hear it in some manner while he's in this age. I have music from German, Spanish, and French (and a bit of Russian too) in case you'd like some of that. It's also generally good music. ^_^
Anywho, looks like capital E is really learning lots of stuff fast, and such a good boy too!
