Character

and this kid's got it!
Last night, our church hosted a young married couple dessert night. As one of my New Year's "goals" I want to make more friends for myself and for Ethan, so we went. We put Ethan in the childcare and got to meet a couple that are newly married and just enjoy an hour of chatting with other people. When Michael went to pick up Ethan the child care ladies couldn't stop talking about him:
"Do you know about the robot?"
"He is so creative with all the noises, he's so realistic he scared one of the other boys"
"He laid on the ground and wouldn't move until we changed his batteries"

"He also told us that his mommy has a baby in her tummy"
Mike: "Yeah, mommy has a baby in her tummy"
"Yeah, but he insists that Mommy has 2 babies in her tummy, a boy and a girl."
Hmmm, Does Ethan know something that we should know, or does he just not want to have to choose between a brother and sister? When Michael told me about the robot thing (yes, we know he does the robot) I laughed so hard. He's made me change his batteries before and it's hilarious. He'll lie on the ground with his eyes closed till you change them, and if you pick him up he'll just stay limp in your arms, very impressive.
