Ethan and Nina Update

Not too much has been going on here...well, we're busy as usual, but nothing out of the ordinary. Ethan is back into the swing of things with preschool. The first day back (after our beach trip), Mark took him and was standing out in the hall waiting on Ethan to decide when he was going to go in the classroom...and one of the other Moms told Mark that her little boy has been praying for Ethan - and they are friends because they cry together at preschool. She told him, well, why can't you be big boys together and not cry at preschool. Austin told her that it's more fun to cry together. We also found out that day that 3 other boys were fit to be tied that Ethan was gone for a week and a half. Every day they kept asking where he was and when he was coming back. How sweet! I don't think I've posted this before, but when he first started preschool, he cried as soon as I put him in the room. But after about 10 minutes he was fine. After that first day, Ethan became close friends with the Director, Mrs. Whiteside. They are best buds! She lets him come to her office mid morning to call me, just to check in and say hi. Now it's habit to call me, but it's about a 10 second conversation now. Once he's there, he loves it! While he's gone from the house, it's strange. Nina is SO quiet without her Bubba here to bother her. She will go into another room and just sit and play without making any noise. She is walking everywhere now and prefers to walk over crawling finally. She is talking a lot too and it's so sweet to hear her babble. Enjoy the pictures and Happy Fall!

Nina LOVES Mardi Gras beads. On a recent trip to Garden Ridge, I got her a pack - the best $2 spent in a looooong time!
Like I said, she's quiet. She had been playing with my bracelet and all of a sudden I didn't hear her anymore and walked into the room and found her like this. Chef Ethan making something yummy in the kitchen Funny bath time hair
