The Three Bears

Well, there were times that we wondered if Ethan was ever going to start talking! In the last several weeks, many people have mentioned how much more he's talking - it gets better every day! His pronunciation is so cute. Carrie always pronounced everything perfectly - if not the first time, she'd get it right after one correction. So its been fun to hear all the cute developments of different sound combinations. I especially love how he says, "Me wuv you VeVy much!"

Ethan loves a story book we have that has several of the old favorites like The Three Pigs, The Gingerbread Man, and The Three Bears. One afternoon I heard him reciting the Three Bears to himself so I grabbed the camera and asked him to tell me the story. He loves the wolf in The Three Pigs and Red Riding Hood, so you'll see at the very end that he really wants a wolf to eat somebody at the end of the story! It's a little long, but if you have time, it's really cute.

One morning while Carrie and I were doing schoolwork, Ethan started counting! In this clip, he's looking at a book that counts ladybugs backwards from 5. On each page you loose a ladybug until the last one flies home. Pretty cute!
