Ethan-isms

Randy's Mom came over to watch the boys while we went out to dinner for Valentine's Day, but earlier that day I took the boys to a nearby playground. Ethan got a splinter for the first time while playing but he wouldn't let me or Kathy pull it out, we had to wait for Randy. So, when we got back from dinner Ethan said "I've been whining and crying the whole time about my splinter!" When Randy to pulled it out, Ethan cried and cried (well screamed really) while he was doing it. Then we laid in bed together to help him calm down and while crying he said "this is really incredible!"

If you ask him if he wants to do something, he says "I would LOVE to!"


Randy was reading a book about volcanoes to Ethan and Ethan tried to say "eruption," but pronounced it wrong, instead saying "eruftion." Randy said, "no it's e-rup-tion." Ethan said "whatever, Daddy."

We were shopping for jeans for Randy and we had been to several stores and not a single one had his size. I was muttering under my breath, "this is ridiculous, no one has a single pair in the right size!" A minute later Ethan shouts "This is RE-DICKEROUS!"

Ethan is interested in volcanoes, space shuttles, and octopuses. He randomly spews "facts" about them (Dwight Shrute style) such as:

"OK, so, volcanoes have lava in them."
"OK, so, space shuttles have fire in them."
"OK, so, an octopus will bite you."
"OK, so, when lava melts, it turns into ice"

You can't be right all the time. :)
