He has grown so much in the last year... all the way potty trained!, riding his trike (a big deal for a kid who excels in fine motor), LOVES anything Lego, Star Wars, and Toy Story, writing his name, and doing chores. This boy tries us daily, but we love him!
His special day fell on a Sunday this year, so he ended up with a week long celebration.
On Saturday, our 7th Anniversary, Ryan, Addy, Ethan, Grandma Louise, Grandpa Eric, and Grandma Pat headed to Pei Wei for Ethan's special dinner. We've started a tradition of going out to eat at the Birthday kid's choice. Ethan chose Pei Wei for the 2nd year in a row. He had a great time and felt special, being the center of attention. Of course, it didn't hurt that he got some Star Wars Lego guys that he talked about non-stop for weeks before. Thanks to the grandparents for loving Ethan and coming to honor him.
On Sunday, he went to Primary and was excited to be sung to and shared some Toy Story fruit snacks with his class. That evening he opened his gifts from Dad and Mom. Planet Heroes! So cool!
Toy Story 3 was coming out near Ethan's birthday, so long ago we decided that we would go see it for his party. We planned on going Saturday, June 19th and were excited... until that morning. Ethan didn't want to eat his cereal and decided that sitting on his bed was better. Frustrating, but that's Ethan. Addy headed to the theatre to greet all his friends and cousins, hoping that he would eat and come. Luckily, he ate it and showed up about 20 minutes into the film. We LOVED the movie!
After the show we all went back to the house for pizza, cake, and ice cream. We had a great time and loved having everyone over! Thanks for all the thoughtful gifts and for supporting Ethan... even when he's melting down.
