Last Day At Pozee - Christmas Video

Well, today was Ethan's last day at Pozee Playzle. Unfortunately, his school closed due to financial issues, and he will begin going to his new school on Monday. One of the last things he did at Pozee was sing and dance at a Christmas show for parents. This show was done just before the school closed for the holidays.

Here you can see him hammin' it up to the classic Feliz Navidad:



And he tries so well!!

Christmas 2008

Ethan struck it rich with the number of cool gifts he received this year. He received gifts from his Grandpa, Uncle Zack, Papaw & Grammie, Uncle Tom, Aunt Dee Dee & cousin Clay, cousin Kristin, Uncle Eddie, Aunt Carole & cousin Kaitlyn, Mommy & Daddy, Mommy's friend Danielle, our neighbors Les and Jacque, and of course from ol' Saint Nick himself.

The numerous gifts included, Tranformer (Optimus Prime) Christmas ornament; Tonka front loader truck; Lincoln Logs; new pair of shorts; Scooby Doo Computer Cool School game; Tranformer (Silverstreak) figurine; Wall-E movie; Computer Cool School; Spiderman book; Crayola Alphabet Activity Posters; Hot Wheels cars; Zingo board game; coloring book and crayons; Monopoly board game; Pepper Skins clothing; (2) I Spy books; (2) Transformer t-shirts; Sesame Street Medical Kit; Transformer (Optimus Prime & Megatron) figurines; Hess gas truck; 100th Anniversary Etch-A-Sketch and last but not least a 4-wheeler (something that I've always wanted but will probably never get!)

Thanksgiving Holiday Trip 2008

There were several "firsts" for Ethan on this trip up north to WV this past Thanksgiving. Including the first time putting on a snowsuit, first time sledding (which unfortunately, the first time down the slight slope ended in a face full of snow), first snowball fight with Papaw, first time making a snowman (okay, so maybe he didn't participate, but we'll pretend he did) and his first Christmas gift this season that he got to open.

On the last evening of our trip, we got a picture of him with his Papaw and Grammie, which I think he thoroughly enjoyed spending time with.

Ethan's Big Boy Bed

Ethan is very pleased with our latest purchase we got for him. He was outgrowing his toddler bed, so we felt it was time to move him up to his own "big boy bed". We have no trouble getting him into bed now, especially having the "Transformer" bedspread, that he picked out, on it. He gets right in. As you can see from the photos, he is very proud of it...

New Discoveries

Lately, I've encountered new discoveries with Ethan - a couple that actually surprised me. About a month and a half ago, I came to realize that Ethan can count to 10 in Spanish...not on my account I might add. He knows more than I do in that area. I had to actually look up the Spanish words for the numbers on the internet to see if he was correct! For all I know, he's probably speaking Spanish during those times that I can not understand a word he's saying.

Occasionally, I've been trying to teach him how to properly hold his scissors and I think he's gotten the hang of it.

Just last week, he brought home some paperwork from preschool with his name on it that he had traced himself. So this past weekend, I put him to the test. He did a very good job.

Testing the Trike

Ethan had to test his trike out with his new boots on. Since it's the rainy season now, he had to have some rain boots, right?!?! I thought they were the cutest things with the eyes on the tops of them.

A Talking To...

Instead of watching fireworks on the 4th of July, we watched a rabbit eating grass in our yard. You can barely see the thing between Ethan and Richard. At one point, I can only guess that Richard was getting too close to the rabbit. So Ethan felt he had to do some explaining to his Daddy about not getting too close or the rabbit will scurry away.
