Ethan-isms at the 2 year mark

Ahh, the things Ethan will do. Isn't he great?

When he's having fun with Daddy, he does this silly grin- from ear to ear- and makes that "eeee" sound, crinkling his face all up.

He smells EVERYTHING. If food is offered, he has to smell it, and depending on the odor, it is either accepted or rejected.

When he's mad or (more likely) misunderstood, he stomps around to a wall and smacks it with his hands, throwing a mini temper tantrum.

He uses his little fingers to do lots of fine motor skills, like pushing buttons and figuring out how things work. His most favorite object is the "pewter" (computer), even though he's not allowed to use it yet.

When outside, he runs up and down the driveway yelling "AAAAAAA" all the way with that silly little grin on his face!

He is very jealous of my giving attention to other children, especially babies.

He loves his wooby and sniffs it to calm himself and help him sleep.

He loves to watch things spin- tires, tops, toys that are round... and puts his face right up to it or on it to watch.

He confuses the sounds in a word- cookie is "keecoo" and poopy is "peepoo".

Ethan often instigates fights with Cole by taking a toy Cole is playing with, running away and then turning to see just how upset Cole is by it. This usually makes Cole scream, which is what Ethan loves.

He is very tenderhearted to other children who are hurting. Often in nursery he will pat another child who is crying, or give them a hug.

He loves to "vacuum" the kitchen with the electric sweeper.

He wakes up too easily when being covered up at night, and is the cutest tired kid!

Whenever in the car, he takes his socks and shoes off and wiggles his free little toes.

He loves to throw objects at people, often beening Cole with a ball or hard object.

Anything that has buttons, "butties" are most tempting to him, and he quickly figures out how to work them.
