A Picture Is Worth 1000 Words

This picture, oh where to begin on this picture... This picture shows me so many things.
First, this is the calm after the storm, we'll get there. Start at the beginning, he is mostly tired from church. We went to church this morning, we were late (surprise, surprise) and child care was full, so Michael stayed with E. He played with lots of kids. From Michael's assessment, Ethan is a leader in the classroom, not on purpose, more of he does what he wants and kids follow him. Good to know.
After the service Ethan and Daddy ate doughnuts (this is shown in the chocolate covering E's chin in this picture).
After doughnuts we walked to the car, in the time span of walking from church to the car he went from being happy silly boy into a mega screaming tantrum, from his sheer will to be independent, which lasted all the way through nasty construction traffic till we got to Michael's work. Then, realizing we were just dropping Michael off, tantrum begins again.
Oh, rewind, I forgot, this picture also shows that he has learned how to roll down his window (uh oh, but easily solved if it gets out of hand) and would like his window down at all times of this, not so pleasant, drive.
So, to recap
-Exhaustion
-Choco-mouth
-Independent, strong-willed
-Window down
-Zazzy in hand
-Finally some peace for Mommy
