Happy Birthday Ethan

I tried to post this yesterday, but it didn't work. So here it is.

Ethan is my now middle child. He is turning 5 today! He is one of the funniest kids I know. He has a really great sense of humor. He has been having us laughing since he was two and he would ask "Why did the chicken cross the road, HUH?" The "HUH" part of his joke was the cutest part. It was louder than the rest of the joke and very emphasized.

Ethan loves video games and recently beat Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii. He likes Mario Party, Zelda: Twilight Princess, Lego Star Wars among others. He also plays many games on his DS. Ethan recently started pre-school at our local elementary school. He loves going to school and really enjoys playing with friends.

Ethan has always been a very affectionate and sweet child. When he was a baby he would rub my arm while he nursed. He continued to rub my arm as he got older. It couldn't just be any part of my arm, it had to be the upper arm that is close to my body. My skin must be softer there. He has also always been a mamma's boy. From the time he was a few weeks old I knew he loved me. I once wrote in my journal that I thought he must think I'm part of him instead of being two separate people.

I love Ethan and I'm so glad that I get to be his mom. Happy Birthday Ethan!!!!



Note about the pic: We had family pictures done and Opie took the one on the left. We thought the look on his face was so funny. Then as I was going through baby pictures I found the one on the right. It was the same face!!! So cute!
