Sherlock Holmes

So, I had to study all week for my Anatomy exam.  But I am back now!

Ethan is still as cute as ever.  Walking around the house with a satisfied look on his face.  He is so cute in the mornings when he wakes up.  He wants to be picked up and hugged and kissed and then he wants to hit he ground running,  When I put him down, he always takes a couple of tentative steps (to make sure he remembers how, I'm sure) and then off he goes!  *pitter* patter*pitter*patter*  He has to go to every part of the house inspecting it inch by inch.  He has to make sure it is exactly how he left it the night before.  Of course, it isn't.  His toys are put away.  He promptly remedies this, let me tell you.  Usually our bedroom door is closed first thing in the morning, as well.  He does NOT approve of this either.  He will go and push on the door incessantly until we open it and let him in to the "wonderland" on the other side.  He then inspects every inch of the room, including squatting down as low as he can go to look under the bed for the "kitty kitty". (he does this frequently throughout the day-he just HAS to know where Marley is at all times). Finally, after he is satisfied that he has covered every inch, investigated every speck on the floor, and located Marley's whereabouts, he settles down to drink some milk and prepare himself for the day.
Of course, by this time he has tired himself out so much he is almost ready for a nap!
