2.5 years old (month 30)

Well not much has changed. Ethan turned 2 1/2 today! He was 28.2 lbs and still 36 inches (but I weighed him at the end of the day). He loves playing with choo choos and is so good at playing independently. Since Wes is home with him while I work part-time he prefers to play with daddy more. If I try to touch his trains or play with his trains he asks me "why did you do dat?" So, to him, Momma and Daddy have very distinct roles. I turned the tv on last night and national geographic channel was on and Ethan said "no. Daddy's show". If something's broken he wants daddy to fix it. But I'm who he goes to for stories and well...bathtime. He is still a great helper at church. He always cleans up after all of the other kids. He is speaking in usually 5 word sentences. I haven't been working with him too much lately on colors/numbers/letters...so he's probably about the same there..can count through the teens. But we went to the Polar Express and that was a blast. He asks to watch that movie every day and he can recite many of his favorites shows theme songs. Still not much interest in the potty...which...is what it is at this point. We didn't wind up going to NJ because I hurt my back. It turns out I need another surgery...especially before we try to TTC again my doctor said. I'm supposed to be in physical therapy but find it hard to find the time with everything going on with the holidays and with Wes' doctors appointments and with holiday traveling. Ethan finally met Santa though so that's pretty cool. Otherwise not much to report!
