Ethan is back to being the Mighty No-Napper. The last few days he will go go go and never slow down. I'm talking about napping maybe a total of 1.5 hours a day (where he gets up at 5:30am and stays awake until 6:30 or 7:00). I am not sure why. We blame it on "development". We blame a lot of things on him "developing". It is our favorite excuse for any behavior we aren't familiar with and don't particularly care for. "Ethan is waking up a lot theses days". . ."It's developmental". "Ethan is not napping well". . ".it's developmental". "Ethan likes to bite mama really hard". . ."It's developmental". I think what that really means is that we hope he grows out of it (soon). All in all, though, he is a pretty mild tempered child. Yesterday we took him to look at the car we are buying. We met up with some friends for lunch. As usual, he was pretty chill in the restaurant. He just watches everyone, craning his neck in ways that would probably break mine. He throws his toys on the ground,of course . But, I mean, to him, that is where they belong. He eats whatever we are eating and really only complains if we taunt him with a fork. He doesn't understand why we wave it back and forth from our mouths to the big shiny white thing without letting him get a closer look. It is understandable how this would frustrate him. It is,after all, his right to inspect all items in his sight. Especially if they are not readily handed to him. He is a quick little fella and will have that fork off your plate and halfway down his throat if you glance away for even a second. But,all in all,he is well behaved in public places. No loud screaming or throwing things across the room. He is more of a sponge, soaking it all in. I am sure now that I have bragged about it that it will all change overnight. And tomorrow he will turn into a food slinging, temper-tantrum throwing, banshee- sounding hellion. But for right now, I can honestly say, he is my little angel.
In public,that is.
