Blue is My Color....

Cowgirl Museum....but I am Cowboy Ethan

Today, Mama and I went to meet Ms.Sarah, Willem and Andrew at the Museum. We had a blast!!! It was lots of fun!! I walked all over the place for a very long time...I was sure tired but not enough to take a nap this afternoon. So I will be going to bed very soon. We are going to the zoo tommorow we my friend Alex and his mom.

We went to see Abuelita.....Happy Birthday Uncle Jeff

This morning we went to see Abuelita and I had a blast playing with her flower arrangements and I tasted some Black Forest Cake...which was pretty sweet. Then we went outside to play and let Abuelita see me go. I had lots of fun..but I sure was tired after my workout. Poppy is coming into town tonight so I better get some rest.
P.S. Happy Birthday Uncle Jeff!!! I hope you have nice day!!! Your birthday card is in the mail!!!

My Dad and I.......

I love walking with my Dad. Mama says that I go sooooo fast when Dad is home. I love going up all the driveways on my court. Don't ya'll love my walker!! I sure can go fast!!

BYU BLUE.....MY WALKER

Dad worked on my walker all weekend. It looks great!!! I love the color...I kinda did not recognize it at first, but then I started walking. Dad really worked on it...it took a long time to do because Dad wanted it to be perfect.
I went to swim class today, I did great!!! I can swim by myself and pull myself almost out of the pool. Ms. Carla was super proud of me..I was even kicking my feet and moving my legs like a fish. Mama was also super proud.

Kinda Funny...

So, I have been giving Mama some issues about going to sleep at nap time and bed time. Mind you, once I do go to sleep I do sleep for a couple of hours for my nap and sleep all night. But, getting me to sleep is another issue. Mama figured that with me becoming very mobile that I would be very tired...well I am but I don't want to miss out on anything. So, tonight we did it Dad's way which is I lay down and no one talks...no songs,no nothing. Dad actually joined Mama and I tonight and I put him to sleep. How you ask...I ran my little hands through his hair and he was fast asleep. Mama could not help but laugh....I finally went to asleep. I would have probably went to sleep earlier but the lighting and thunder were keeping me up. Mama says that she is getting pay backs from when she kept Abuelita and Poppy up all the time. Abuelita cured her with a night light...I already have one. Truthfully, Mama does not have it that bad.

Walking and Writing...

So, after playing in the water Mama cleaned me up and we went outside for a stroll.  It was very pleasant outside so we took advantage of it.  I did really great wearing my new sandals, but I fell once face first on the concreate when I started to run...but I got up and walked up our driveway. I was crying but Mama told I was ok, and that we had to finish going up the driveway. Mama says part of running is that sometimes you do fall. I a little bump on my chin and my wrist...but I was a tough guy. When we got inside I wanted to write....so Mama and I did some writing. Mama says I have a great grip on my pen...she said when she taught kindergarten some of her kids did not hold there pens has well has I do. And I am only 2 1/2. I take my work very seriously, as you can see.

Fun Wednesday.....

Today we had NO APPTS. Ms. Patricia broke her toe so we did not have any hippo therapy....so Mama and I decided to have a fun full morning. We did finger painting, which Mama was super proud of me, then we played in the water...which was super fun. It is nice not to have appt. or a therapy appt. Now don't take us wrong I feel very blessed to have all my therapists and doctors. I feel sooo blessed to a have great team behind me but Mama, Dad and I have decided to take the next 2 weeks off from all appts., except for my MRI and EGD on May 7th. I have been going strong for 2 1/2 years without missing a apppt., or therapy appt. Mama and I are going to go do fun things like....go to the zoo, park, Lone Star Park to see horse racing,the Fort Worth Museum, cattle drive, strawberry picking, go the library and much more. I know that I am normal, so I would like to do normal things. I have had over 80 appts. since Feb.1, 2008. I need a break!! So I am going to take one. I will go back to my appts. and therapy on May 12th. Dad thinks it will be good for Mama and I to take a break so we don't feel so overwhelmed. I agree with him.

NEW SHOES.....

When Mama and Dad went out for there date night they also went to buy me some new shoes. I got a camo pair and some sandals. Dad was obsessed with me having leather sandals that I can wear with my braces...future pics of those. But, tonight I wore my camo shoes...and I love them. I can walk and almost seriously run with them. Mama and Dad got alittle nervous about how fast I was going. My shoes are very light-weight, very good since my braces weigh alittle. By the way I am 29 months today...Mama and Dad can't believe how I have grown...Dad says "Ethan is not a baby anymore, he is a big boy". p.s. If ya'll have not noticed I love to wear baseball caps..all the time.

Mama and Dad.....

Mama and Dad went on a "date" Saturday night while Fleetie and Grandpa watched me. They had a good time...but I had a better time. I saw ducks and baby chicks in my yard and I got to play,play and play some more. Like Mama's new hair-do?

I am FAMOUS....almost

In the middle of the night, Mama got up and started playing on the computer and decided to go to the Scottish Rite website to see if there were any pictures of me since my last visit....and there was. So, you can go to www.tsrhc.org...to press room....photo gallery....Dallas Cup March 18, 2008 and then you see me kicking a soccer ball. When Mama saw this she started jumping up and down and woke Dad up so he could see at 1:30am. She can be alitte hyperactive when it comes to these things. I am surprised that she did not wake me up to see myself. Funny Mama!! Mama thinks I may have made the newsletter...but we shall see.

Poppy and I.....

Today, after my GI appt. Mama and I went to Colleyville to meet up with Poppy. He was sure happy to see me and I was happy to see him also. Then we went window shopping and Poppy found a plaque with my name on it and had to buy it for me. It looks great in my room...it matches my colors. It was great to see Poppy and he told me he would be back at the end of the month.
In other news, on May 7th I am having a MRI and EGD...Mama and Dad are not looking forward to this but it has to be done. My GI doctor thinks I look great and I really like him...they weighed me in at 35 lbs. and 38 1/2 in. tall. I am one big boy!!!

If I could only live outside..

I love to be outside....I would live outside if I could. I chased my friend/neighbor Alex around the court. Mama and Dad were very proud and happy for me that I can move with my friend Alex.

Apache and Magic...

I rode Magic for about 30 mintues and then I fed Magic and Apache. They took a bite and then I took a bite of cheese and crackers, Ms.Patricia and Ms.Sheare were super proud of me. Then Mama and I went to see Poppy for lunch since he was in town today. It was great to see him..I love him very much.

Re-done Bathroom and Bedroom

Nothing fancy, but Mama re-did my bathroom in monkeys and I got a full-size bed and got some new sheets....etc. She painted my changing table and chair...for my room we are staying in the cowboy scene. My new bed is very comfy!!!

My DAD is HOME.....

I was so happy to see my DAD...I missed him so much. We went walking tonite and he thinks that I have improved greatly in 3 days. I am a machine...I go so fast. I can go around my court 4 times in 10 min. or less. It is a little chilly in Arlington this evening, so Mama made sure I was warm. We have a busy week so with swimming, therapies, horse riding and I have a dr. appts.
P.S. Ms. Anna gave birth to my new buddy James on Thursday night and they are doing great. Mama, Abuelita and I went Friday to see them...he was sooo little. Mama had forgotten how little babies are....since I am not a baby anymore...but I always will be Mama's baby.
