And for my birthday, my wonderful husband surprised me with a trip home to see my parents. In return, I decided to surprise my mom and sisters and just showed up to a family get together. I wish I would have captured their faces on camera because it was so priceless. They all sat there and stared for a minute trying to let it sink in or maybe trying to figure out if I was actually standing there or if they were imagining it, but then they all jumped up at once. That was the best birthday gift ever, thank Mi. (Sorry to those of you I didn't get to see, I only had 2 days, but summer is coming)
On my actual birthday, he sent me a dozen chocolate dipped strawberries, which he know I love, I didn't even know you could do that, but they were soooo good.
Moving on, Ethan got an award at school. Every six weeks they pick a student who has shown kindness and fairness and Ethan got picked. He was so excited. Way to go little man!
Ethan tries so hard to be independant and I try really hard to let him. He wanted to make toast, which he has done many times before, but he will only eat it if the butter is completely melted. Well on this particular occassion, it wasn't so he wanted to melt it in the microwave, he asked, "How long do I cook it?" so I said 10 sesconds. Well 10 seconds wasn't long enough for him, "How long now?" so I told him 5. I assumed he knew I meant 5 seconds, but oh no, he put it on for 5 minutes. After about 3 of those minutes I started to smell smoke and saw a small fire in the microwave. Lets just say he found another snack.
Payton is as busy as ever. Yesterday she learned how to climb out of her crib and the day before that she learned how to climb into her crib. We are in BIG trouble now.
One thing she does love and that is getting her hair done. She will stand by my vanity or now she climbs into my sink and waits for me to do her haif. If we could only do something about those teeth of hers:).
