Oh the things we do for our children!

Ethan has had a pretty good weekend. Friday he was SUPPOSED to be sleeping by the time Grandpa Jim came over to "house sit" for us while we went out with some friends. When we got home we were informed that 10 minutes after we had left Mr. Ethan was sitting on the bottom step and he ended up not going to bed until about midnight. Since he hadn't been the best behaved this week we were intent on making sure he went to bed on time as part of his "punishment" for bad behavior. He had fun playing with his Grandpa though.

Saturday Ethan went to the mall with us to shop for some new jammies for him. Some of his jammies are getting tight or too short for him so it was time to move to the next size. After that he took a trip to visit his great-grandparents where of course he showed just how active he is. Sad part was that was him being only mildly active. Most days he is much more wild LOL. So after we left there we went home and he was digging through his clothes looking for his Spiderman jammies. I was going to let him wear them but as I was getting ready to pull the tags off I noticed that the top was 3T and the bottoms were 4T. Ethan was so upset that he couldn't wear his jammies. He was crying, screaming, very heartbroken. So after dinner (and some not so great behavior from Mr. Ethan) we decided that (against better judgment) to go back to the store and exchange his jammies so that he can wear them. Needless to say he was one happy camper.

Today he does not want to take those jammies off. He is all about wearing his Spiderman jammies. He has gone outside a few times to play with his daddy (mommy hates the cold!!) and we had to just put other clothes on top of the jammies b/c he does not want to take them off. He's having a fairly quiet Sunday today. He's played outside, played in the house, took a nap, and became desensitized to violence watching the tail end of the CSI episode we had been watching. Someday we won't be able to do that but for now he doesn't really pay much attention to it unless there are explosions.

In other news on the Ethan front (lol) he has been doing very well with wearing underwear. We are finally (YES!!) able to take him places in underwear AND he keeps them dry. He is yet to poop on the potty but at least we aren't having accidents in his underwear. He is no where near being ready to be night trained so he is still having to wear Pull-Ups at night and nap time. He wakes up in the middle of most nights needing to be changed b/c the Pull-Up is full. We figure that he will just stop wetting his pants at night when he's ready then we will put undies on him. He's becoming such a big boy now. It's hard to believe that he is going to be 3 in just 4 months.
