All about the protective eyewear

I'm not sure if it's the fact that Clay, my Dad and I all wear glasses, or if every child is this fascinated with glasses, but Ethan loves them. He wears his sunglasses in the car, he likes to try on other people's glasses, he likes to try on his goggles, and also sometimes enjoys poking himself in the eye. :)

He's doing so many new things right now that I can't keep up. His favorites right now are: chicken nuggets, sweeping the floor, gobbling like a turkey, having his back scratched, watching his Baby Santa movie, playing with the croquet balls, playing with his singing dog in the car, making rooster sounds, pretending like he's asleep and then jumping up, leading singing in church, and giving open-mouth kisses.

And he surprises us just about every day with new things. Yesterday he spilled some milk on the floor so Clay got a paper towel to clean it up. Ethan took the paper towel, wiped up the floor, and gave it back to Clay to put in the trash. Yesterday he also fell asleep during a diaper change and then slept for 2 hours (for those of you who really know Ethan, you know he never naps for more than an hour). He also shows us what he wants to eat for most meals. He takes my hand, leads me to the kitchen, opens the pantry and/or has me open the refrigerator, and points to what he wants. This new process led to him having chicken nuggets for most dinners last week, but that's okay! At least he still likes vegetables!
