number one visitor...

Jon's sister Jen came to visit a couple weekends ago. She was our first visitor! Her train got in from NY late Friday night and left Sunday afternoon, so we didn't have a lot of time. We went to the Newseum in DC, which was super cool. Lining the outside of the building, they show the front page of a newspaper from each state. That day it was Logan's Herald Journal. I got a bit homesick.

Following My Mother's Advise...

-I got off the phone and Ethan said, "You talk to your Mom?"
Me:"Yes, who is my mom?"
Ethan: "Grandma Sue."
Me: "Who is my dad?"
Ethan: "Daddy."
-I was trying to get Will to say, Ma-ma. I got, "Dada." Dang.
-Ethan got on the scale and said in a very proud voice, "Mom, I'm 29 years."
-We were eating cereal and I said, "Mmm, Ethan this is yummy." Ethan said, "this is way so yummy."
-Ethan loves to ride the Metro rail and is very observant of his surroundings when we do. For about a week, each time I would say the word "metro" he would repeat, "Thank you for riding the metro rail. Thank you for using Metro Center." Only when I rode the Metro Rail elevator the other day did I realize that it says that as you get off.
-On the way to church I was talking to Ethan about how to behave during Sacrament meeting. I told him if he sat quietly he could earn smarties. He said, "Ok Mom, sounds like a plan."
-Mom, "Ethan, how was your night?"
Ethan, "Good."
Mom, "What did you dream about?"
Ethan, "Thomas!"
-During one of the songs in Sacrament meeting, Ethan yelled at me, "MOM SING, MOM SING!" Also, during the Sacrament, while it was very quiet, he heard a baby crying, and he said, "Mom, I hear cows".
-Ethan wanted to get out of his crib tonight. He kept calling, "Hey Meggie, hey Meggie."
-Ethan: "Will stop crying, Will stop crying. Will stop crying PLEASE."
-I took Ethan to Toys R Us tonight. The second we walked in, he spotted a Thomas the Train toy up on a shelf. "Mom, Thomas, COOOOL!" We went back and found the books and I coaxed the other toy out of his hands. He picked out a Thomas book. The whole way to the check-out stand, he read the book while walking, bumping into things as he did.
-Ethan came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist and said in a really sweet voice, "I love you mom."
-Grandpa walked down the stairs the other morning and Ethan said, "Hi Rich!"
-As I walked into my room the other night, Ethan said, "hi sweetie."
-Ethan came running into the room to tell me that he was going to "do homework". I walked into the office to see him typing on the computer at one desk and Jon on his computer at the other.
-As Ethan was swinging on the swing, he said, "Mom, I so happy.
