So I have not posted in a while. Just to update, Sam is now 4 years old and Ethan will be 9 months old tomorrow. Ethan is into everything and won't sit still. He can stand up and has no fear. He will just let go and stand there. Of course he wants to clap for himself which usually leads to a fall.
Ethan has two teeth on bottom, but is furiously working on the top row. He is drooling and wants to test his new chewing skills on Sam's toys. Of course, this is not all bad. Sam is getting a lot better at taking his toys back to his room for fear of two little scuff marks on Batman's boot. Sam will get really frustrated when Ethan goes right for his toys. Then as I remove Ethan from the tempatation of tasting the Hot Wheel or small airplane, Sam will let out an exaggerated sigh. He says, "Whew, Mommy. Thank you." I am not sure that he understands that I am more worried about the small pieces hurting Ethan than I am of a few battle scars on Batman's bike.
Sam is growing up fast, too. He comes up with "plans" that involve drinking more juice than is allowed, staying up later, and reasons to sleep in my room. I try to combat these plans, but some are so creative that I almost give points for style and effort.
Sam doesn't like to be called cute, funny, or a baby. He gets rattled and says, "I am Sam" like I don't know his name. He is sensitive about being called a baby and constantly points out the difference between what he can do versus Ethan.
Sam is going to play soccer starting next month. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I hope he likes to play. I hope he wants to play.
