Ethan's New Room

As I write, Ethan is now sleeping in his big boy room. Although I am little sad because it's another sign that my little guy is not longer so little, he fell asleep without any trouble.

We had fun tonight. We arranged the furniture so Scott could attach it to the wall - on the off chance that Ethan decided to climb on it. As we were in the process of doing this, Ethan showed us ways to climb that we hadn't anticipated. It was funny! Hopefully the set up now will work!!

We had a busy week. On Wednesday we went to Bronte Creek to see the animals, swim and have a picnic lunch with my friends Dana, Lynn and Suzanne, as well as all their kids. There were 8 kids in total, the only other boy is Carson, who is 4 months old. So Ethan had a great time playing with his girlfriends. Unfortunately, I forgot the camera, so no pictures!

On Thursday, we went to Unionville with Lynn to check out one of her other friend's new baby store. Lynn and I are considering opening up a pre-teen clothing store and wanted to talk to her about some ideas and how she got started. All six of us went in Lynn's minivan. Ethan had a lot of fun playing with Shelby (and waking up Olivia). Only problem was that he didn't nap, which made him very tired for soccer (on the positive side, doesn't look like he will be giving up his naps anytime soon)! Thursday was his last night for soccer. They gave out ribbons to the kids. He might play again starting in September (indoor this time).

Yesterday, Dana and her kids came over for lunch. Ethan was a little bit tired from Thursday and didn't really want to share with Charlotte, but overall they still had fun. Jerry stopped by for pizza and a coke on his way to court in Hamilton, Ethan is always excited to see him. Ethan showed Jerry his new trick of unlocking and opening the front door. Uncle Kirk came by earlier in the week to put a second chain lock to prevent Ethan from escaping, but it wasn't on when Jerry was over. Luckily he didn't get very far (we heard him open the door).

Today we went for a family run (see picture). I managed to somewhat keep up with Scott. Olivia and I went grocery shopping (see picture) - isn't she cute? Other than that we just did some organizing to prepare for Michelle's arrival in late September.

All is still quieton the Ethan front, will report on his first night's sleep tomorrow!
