Well, yet another year has flown by and Ethan is still adding to his repertoire of unique noises during all other activities, putting fresh holes in his new socks, adding new ones to all of his jeans, pulling his arms into his shirt and simultaneously over his knees just so he can hear mommy lovingly say, "Stop that! You are stretching that shirt out and it won't fit you anymore." However, there are a few things I no longer see our big boy do now, such as suck his thumb to go to sleep, use sign language for "drink", and expect mommy to freak out when he gets near an open stair case. No, he is now 8 and I can't do anything about it.
Ethan just completed his first year of soccer and is clearly a STAR in daddy and my eyes. The Father has been building such a kind spirit into this little man it is wonderful to watch this creation grow. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
