What a great day :)

Ethan and I hung out at home today, had some yummy homemade zucchini bread and tuscan melon for breakfast, and just enjoyed the day together. He has become a bit of a Backyardigans lover. We were walking around Target a few days ago and he was looking at one of their books. All of a sudden he points and says "Tasha". He loves to give her kisses in the books we got from the library, too. It's pretty cute. He will point at the other characters but she's the only name he will say. Sometimes it sounds like "Ta-ta" (LOL!) and sometimes he makes the "shh" sound and really says "Tasha". We are loving it! The show is really cute, and there is lots of music and dancing involved, which is right up Ethan's alley! At the end of the show when they go back home for a snack, Ethan waves bye-bye to them. We have become a Backyardigans family :)

Then, my wonderful hubby brought me beautiful flowers and a romantic card home just because he said he loves me! So sweet, and completely unexpected! He wanted to take Ethan and I to PF Chang's for dinner. Ethan ate some sweet potatoes at home before we left... he is doing a lot better using the fork. We've discovered the past few days though that he sort of gets mad when we give him a plastic fork/spoon and he likes to use our adult silverware. He seems much more content with the kidware with the silver tips. He acts so much older and bigger than he is, and is so independent. It is funny! So, we went to Chang's for dinner and had our faves, lettuce wraps, chicken fried rice, and mongolian beef. We gave Ethan a little bowl of rice and he gobbled it up! He has been really picky eating lately so I was so surprised. He was even chopping on the little carrots. Then, he started trying to steal the mongolian beef off my plate :) We were very happy with him!! After dinner, we walked over to the fountain outside and Ethan was a very happy guy! Water is his favorite thing ever.

How did I get so lucky?!
