Ethan Michael Leman
Ethan decided to come on one of the hottest days of the year. He was born on June 11, 2006 at 12:29 pm. Ethan was my biggest weighing in at 7 lbs 14 oz. And finally I had a baby that looked more like me than Jake. Unfortunately he was born with cataracts in his left eye and had to have surgery to get a new lens at age 2. He now has to wear glasses that I can never get him to wear.
Ethan has always wanted things done in a certain way, his way. Everything must be just right or he has a mini melt down. Ethan loves to make up and sing songs. Our favorite game to play is "Know what I love?". The answer is always the other person, but we have fun guessing. He also has an odd love for long sleeve shirts, even in the summer.
He loves to play with his brothers and sisters but is just as happy or happier to play by himself. He is also very competetive. He really likes playing with his DS. Ethan's favorite thing is taking pictures and altering them on his DS. He really likes building things with Bionicles and Legos. He is really creative. He also loves being outside. He likes playing store in the playhouse.
When I asked Ethan what he wanted to be when he grew up he told me a monster truck driver. I can totally see it. Then he said he wanted to be a boy dancer (he really, really liked watching Carli and Jordan ballroom dancing).
Ethan is the best helper. He is really fast at cleaning up his room, when I can get him to start. He likes to stay up late and clean his room so he can have extra privileges the next day. He mainly just loves to stay up late and is always the first one awake. He just doesn't seem to require as much sleep as most people.
Now that Ethan is 5, he can't wait to start school. Kindergarten here he comes. I think he is most excited to be going to the same school as Jacob and Amara. He is really good at colors and we've been working hard on learning to recognize his numbers.
Ethan is a really sweet Mama's boy and I love it. He has a really big heart and wants to share it with everyone. I'm really going to miss him when he goes to school.
I love that boy! I think you will see him really grow and mature this year as he starts kindergarten. He is going to love all the activities and projects that he will be doing there. Keep us posted on his kindergarten adventures.
ReplyDeleteDon't tell your other babies, but Ethan was my favorite of your babies. He was such a happy baby and he would always let me hold him and wouldn't cry. But, they grow up so fast and become little boys. I can't believe that he is already going into kindergarten. I swear he was just barely a baby.
ReplyDeleteHe is a sweet little boy.
