He Made the Bed !!!

Today is an exciting day !!!!  

Ethan was doing his chores and usually he will start on his bed and then come and get me so I can sit on the corner of the sheet so it doesn't move as he pulls it hard towards the other side of the bed.  

Today he came out and said he was all done,  and I didn't have to help !!  He was so excited and had a huge smile, which is wonderful to see!!   YEAA!!!!!  We are soooo excited and very proud that today he was wonderful about all his chores and doing it by himself.  He even emptied the dishwasher without complaint and he didn't play for hours inbetween each dish. Today is starting out great !!!!!  

( Days aren't always like this so I thought I'd put it here for all to know how proud of Ethan I am ( today) and a reminder to me later that there are days when Ethan chooses to willingly be wonderful)

Crawling Fun

I'm trying to get better at posting more often and I thought I would share something that happened, since I found it so cute and funny, and maybe someone else will also enjoy it.

Today Ellie was trying to get Seth to climb on her back so she could give him a piggy back ride, but he didn't understand what she wanted, so he got onto all fours, following her example and he started crawling around in front of Ellie and calling her name (well more like yelling it). He was trying to get her to follow him. Which he doesn't crawl around anymore so it seemed so out of the ordinary.  Then Ellie gave up on her ideas and crawled around after him, which he giggled so cutely sounding like pure joy. It was so fun to watch. I LOVE moments like this !!!!
