might not be very happy with me if Ethan keeps it up.
Last Saturday we were going to Target and we had a little exchange.
Me: Ethan, get your shoes please, we're going to Target.
Ethan: Me* not want to go to Target, me stay here.
Me: Well, when we are at Target you can do the laundry and iron and have it all put away when we get home.
Ethan: Me not a girl.
Me: I couldn't repond, I was too busy running down the stairs to tell Nick.
The other night my mom was over with the kids while I was getting my hair done (thanks Mom!), and she and Ethan had a little chat.
Ethan: Gaga you sleep over here?
Gaga: No, I have to go to work in the morning.
Ethan: Girls don't work.
I KNOW... I'm going to have to have a talk with him and explain to him that just because his mommy does all of the laundry (I'm a little too particular to let anybody else near it), and I iron some (Nick does MOST of his own), doesn't mean that a boy can't do that kind of thing. Actually, Nick is ironing right now, only Ethan is asleep... I'm not waking him up for this teachable moment.
I have a feeling he's going to be the "Let's have a talk" kid.
*We're working on "I", but it really is a bit cute and I'm having a hard time correcting him. Like when Nick taught Em how to say animal instead of "aminal" without me knowing and I cried for days... yeah, like that.
Happy Sunday!

Oh, I love this age. It is so hard to keep from laughing during those very teachable moments, because let's face it...they are so darn cute!
I know what you mean about correcting the way they say something. Just yesterday Robbie was working with Alexie on the correct way to say perfume (she says PREfume)...I love to hear her say it. But I guess it's time to correct her or she might be 20 asking where the PREfume is at the mall!
Love hearing about your sweet family, Friend!
Oh my gosh Angie!! I'm dying right now! That is quite possibly the funniest thing I've heard all day...he is such a ham! I can just see his cute face turning to the side to say,"Me not a girl"! Love you all and can't wait to see ya next week!
