Ethan

Happy Birthday Ethan!

Seven years ago today I spent my very first mother's day coming home from the hospital with my first baby, a healthy baby boy weighing 7lbs. 3 oz.

Last night Ethan could hardly stay in bed, he was so excited about his birthday.  He's only been talking about if for the last 4 four months.  He kept coming in my room asking random questions like "why does Anakin turn evil?", "How can I find the secret codes to Club Penguin?", and my favorite "I need $500, can I do some jobs to earn it?" In the end we ended up watching youtube videos on how to make the best paper airplane.  Shawn was working last night so Ethan and I spend the next  hour up making paper airplanes.  When he finally fell asleep I found him like this.  He falls asleep almost every night with an open book on his chest.

This morning E could hardly wait to open his presents and didn't understand why he had to go to school on his birthday.  But it was PJ day at school, so that made it fun.

 He got a DSi, some games, and a case.  He also got a new church shirt, which he needed badly, and it makes him look so grown up.  This morning for breakfast he wanted to have chips, and I let him because it's his birthday and he is the KING for the day.  He kept saying, "Wow, these chips are great.  Each time I take a bite I get all this wonderful flavor in my mouth." He cracks me up!  When I dropped Ethan off at school he said he wanted to bring donuts for his class, so off to the store we went.  When I came back at lunch time to drop of the donuts Ethan was outside playing tag with a bunch of girls.  Such a ladies man!!

I'm so proud of you Ethan.  You are such a great kid, and are so friendly to others.  We love you!  Happy Birhtday!!
