We finally had some rain around here but today was beautiful and about 48 or so. I took Ethan out to play and blow off some steam before we went over to celebrate New Years with the family. We had a great time but Ethan didn't want to go down the slide after the first run since it was too cold on his bottom. Hello? Aren't you like a 2 year old boy? It actually is par for the course. Last night we toasted with hot chocolate and watched a DVD and he was all worried about wiping the table from where his cocoa had dripped. He is too funny. He does love the swing set and takes such pride in remembering that Daddy and Grandpa built it for him and he helped measure. For such a neatnick, he does love his tools. This past weekend he got to use his new drill from Santa to help Jeff build a stool for the garage workbench. He was thrilled. He and Jeff spent the entire afternoon together on Saturday doing projects, playing basketball, swinging on the glider and it is now all E can talk about. He still likes me to tuck him in and sing him songs so I think my job is secure for now.
We spent the rest of the day today over at the Becker Grandparents having more food....yep, appetizers, pasta dinner, and dessert once again. Ethan grazed all day and Jason just tried to grab at anything that wasn't nailed down. All he got was organic baby food - peas and bananas to be exact. He was less than thrilled. Here is a pic of the boys playing together:
