Milestones

Ethan hit three major milestones in the past 24 hours:

1.  Last night his horizons were broadened when I discovered that the Target brand fish sticks are milk and egg free!  Finally - a convenience food that doesn't have the word 'chicken' or 'nugget' in it.

3.  He completed his first yard task today - unassisted.  This morning I mowed, Clay edged and picked up sticks, and Ethan used the blower to clean off the driveway.  It was wonderful.

On a side note, I gave Rachel a pretzel the other day and she put it on top of her head, said "bow!" and clapped for herself.  She keeps us laughing.  I think she inherited more than just her Uncle Bryan's name.

  1. Go Ethan!! He is growing up so fast. I am glad you have found an easy food to fix that isn't chicken nuggets.

    P.S. I feel honored now! :)

  2. We are entering the potty training phase and I'm already not liking it!! So, I'm jealous of his second accomplishment!! That day is still SOOOOOO far for us! :)
