Ethan just celebrated his 2nd Birthday. We
visited the doctor for his well-check and the doctor said he seems to be pretty
mature for his age and was impressed that Ethan would just sit on my lap and
let the doctor examine him. In fact, he got a shot before we left and he didn’t
even cry--first time for that. According to the stats, Ethan is doing well.

He had a small cold on his actual birthday so we didn’t go
out, but we had a low-key day at home until dad got home. We did go to a store
to get Ethan a balloon. I gave him
the balloon to play with while I finished shopping. It had a clip at the bottom
to keep it from floating away. Surprisingly 5 minutes later it was floating to
the ceiling since somehow Ethan detached the balloon from top of the ribbon to
the ribbon and clip stayed safely with us. We went back to the balloons and got
another balloon. This time I kept it away from Ethan, to his great dismay,
until we got in the car to go home. After pulling into our complex and parking,
Jason called me on his way home. I took Ethan out of the car making sure the
balloon was still tied on. In the next 30 seconds of talking to Jason on the
phone, Ethan had the balloon detached at the top again and it was floating away
into the sky. I don’t know who was more sad about it. I told Jason about it on
the phone so he stopped and picked up a third balloon on his way home from work
and brought it home to Ethan who was thrilled to have another balloon. In about
the next 10-15 minutes he squeezed and punched that balloon until there was a
hole in it and it lost enough air to stop floating. It was fun while it
lasted….. :)
After dinner we opened presents and ate cupcakes. Ethan got
some cute clothes and pajamas from the grandparents and we gave him a wooden
train set. It’s nice to have another toy around to keep him busy. :) He’s enjoyed playing
with it all week.
