I'm posting this(Thank you Nathan and Sheila!) because it is exactly why I don't have time to blog regularly. I think we go through this list a dozen times a day or so! I'm trying to "embrace" this stage for what it is; a time of learning, exploring, comedy and craziness. I feel like I'm in a marathon of energy demanding activities. Not only that, but I'm running the marathon in a tornado! As difficult as Ethan is sometimes, I can't count how many times a day I look at him and just think he is the cutest little guy ever. A good bit of those thoughts are when he's napping, of course. But when he grabs my hand and takes me on a walk around the house(he can't decide where our destination is), or when he gives me a great big hug or actually is "soft" to the cats; my heart hurts because I love him so much!

Here you go!
