The coolest kid on the block ...

Sometimes I am so amazed at the things that come out of Ethan's mouth. He is a great story teller, and we have some of the greatest conversations. I love hearing when other adults enjoy his stories also. He keeps everyone in stitches with his one liners and quirky comments. A friend of mine took Ethan to school yesterday while I took Kaeli for her testing and she said he was just keeping them laughing with his comments. He told her he when he gets big he wanted a car like hers, and it is going to be for daddys only and we can talk about naughty things .. but not if kids are in the car. I have no idea where he comes up with this stuff! Last night before bed he was telling me how his wife's name was going to be Niki and I said Ethan I am your mommy so I cannot be your wife. He said "No, I am just going to marry someone with the name Niki and we are going to have 2 sons and a daughter named Niki too. When my son asks if he can sleep in my bed at night and it is a school night, I am going to let him. I am going to have a big bed like you and that way my son can sleep in it even if it is a school night."

He is doing really well with his speech and articulation. His speech teacher is impressed with how well he is doing, so quickly. He is already putting blends together that she didn't notice until this last class. He is also getting good at correcting himself which is awesome because it means that he is able to hear himself making the incorrect sound and fix it without being told. Next year he will qualify for free PreK through the school district, and they will continue working on his speech, so hopefully that will be better for him than going to 2 different schools 5 days a week.

Kaeli is really becoming quite a turd. She now knows when she is doing something naughty and purposely looks at me and Mike to see if we are "catching" her. She also teases Mike with kisses and turns her head while laughing when he tries to give her one. She is Ethan's little shadow and wherever he is, you usually find his sissy tagging along. She adores her big brother, as he does her! And he does not quite mind playing with her yet! :-)
