Party never ends!

Ethan turned 3 last week and it was quite an eventful week. On Monday we celebrated his birthday just a few of us. It was a quietday for the most part but once he opened up his big gift that was all over. Devin and I got E. the Smart Cycle which is a kids size stationary bike that connects to the tv and has different educational games you can connect to it for learning and fun. He loves it though he's still learning how to pedal forwards that's his new challenge. He also got Lincoln logs from my family which he really loves having houses and garages built for his toys he's still learning how to use them by himself. Then this past Saturday E. had his birthday party that was cars themed. Sadly only on friend came and his babysitters but he seemed pretty happy with that he has asked me everyday since he turned 3 when his party is even though he had one Saturday and then he keeps telling Devin and I what he wants fo rhis birthdya..lol. He's not really clear on the once a year thing. He's been home with me now for a month and really seems to be enjoying our time together. He's taking long naps almost every day and really loves his school time with me. We are currently learning the ABC's and how to spell his first and last name and how to spell cat and dog. He's learning to write a few letters a month and definitely understands his shapes now to work on drawing them is the hard part. We started going to the library at least once a week which has been really been exciting for E. we usually borrow about 10 books at a time and he's just so excited every time we go. We've also been going to watch free movies once a week and that's very fun for both of us. E. has started to push his boundaries and he thinks he knows our limits its been a rouch month with discipline, but I think we are starting to get the hang it. In June E. was officially fully potty trained very exciting only time we put diapers on him is at night just incase of an accident. He really seems to be growing into a little man I'm so proud.
