Little Friends

Seth and Ethan enjoyed their time at the park.  Of course, Ethan ate sand.  The thought grosses me out.  Who knows how many dogs and cats have used the bathroom in the sand.  One huge kitty litter box!  Yuk!  Even though Seth is over a year and a half older than Ethan, he plays so well with him.

We watched Evan one night while his parents went to the school musical.  It was funny to watch the 2 boys.  Evan sat mostly in one place and played quietly while Ethan was loud and all over the place.  I think that Ethan is much more like Evan’s older brother in that way. 

Ethan absolutely loved playing with this toy that blows the balls up in the air.  He laughed and laughed so hard.  We’ve never seen him have so much fun with any other toy except for maybe a Winnie the Pooh musical card my aunt and uncle sent him for his birthday.  Of course, toys here are about 3 times more expensive than in the States.  Ethan does have toys, and I’m sure if I were in the US, I’d think that he needed a lot more than he really does by the advertisements.  Whatever happened to pots, pans, wooden spoons, and Tupperware?  Great toys!  Actually, we don’t do the pots and pans, but Ethan loves the wooden spoon, measuring spoons, and Tupperware. We had some friends whose children are older give us their swing set this year.  It is being put to good use!  Zsuzsa was the first to come over (or maybe Seth, I can’t remember).  Her and Ethan kept wanting to switch swings.
