Ethan

I've realized that I haven't posted as much about Ethan has I have about Lillie. Its been awhile so here are some new things about Ethan.
He does love his little sister. Once while Lillie and I were relaxing in bed still and Ryan had already left for work, Ethan managed to get into the kitchen and up onto the counter to grab a package of teddy grahams.  He brought back two bags and told me one was for him and one was for Lillie.  When I asked him where mine was, he went back downstairs and got 2 bags for me! There are still times when he needs to show his love in a different way, like when he sits on her or runs into her full speed knocking her down.
He is a whiz when it comes to the computer.  We had to put a password on it to keep him off.  If he had it his way, he would be on there all day.  He knows how to open the browser and go to his favorites to play various games on different sites.  He has even found a way to get to youtube to watch videos.  One day he wanted to watch Wild Kratts on PBS.  It wasn't on and I was trying to make dinner so I logged him into the computer.  5 minutes later he was watching Wild Kratts on the PBS website. I think he knows how to use my smartphone better than me.  He knows how to navigate the phone to get to different apps.  He loves to take pictures though he still hasn't figured out to keep his finger out of the way.  He loves angry birds and would probably do anything to play it.  If he manages to get one of our phones without us noticing, he will hide under the table to play it.  The good thing is that it makes shopping much easier with him, my phone keeps him occupied the whole time!
In the car he is always telling us to go left or right. He usually wants to go left, its definitely his favorite and will get mad if I tell him we are going right. Maybe he'll be a lefty like me ;) He points out the red, green and orange(cannot convince him that it is yellow) lights and knows we have to stop at red and go at green.  He knows the way to many places and quickly recognizes if we are headed to work, Jack and Cindy's house, his friend Ollie's house, the library and many other places.
Red is his favorite color.  He will only eat yogurt with his red spoon.  The red crayon is the only one he wants to use. When given a choice, he wants the red object. I didn't expect to see a preference so early on. He is starting to want to pick out his clothes.  Still no interest in actually dressing himself, but he will tell me he wants a certain shirt.
Ethan is talking more, but we still have to prompt him to use the words he knows.  One of his favorite phrases right now are "so cute". Everything is "so cute", Ryan's fish, the water banana plant, the neighbors dogs, the dragonfly outside etc.  So when I asked him if he thought Lillie was so cute, I thought he would say yes.  Nope, he responded "Ehan so cute!"
We certainly do think he is a cutie!
