Ethan is 25-months-old now. His favorite color vascillates between red and blue (mainly depending on which color marker Caleb is holding). He still loves to eat all day long, though he is more discriminating than he used to be. He doesn't like white potatoes or eggs in any form, and he is not overly fond of bread. He loves pasta, rice, most meat, all kinds of fruit, and anything dairy. He eats most green vegetables that are put in front of him, but he doesn't ask for them.
He has gotten much less physical this month. He is using words (and tears) much more frequently to resolve conflict. He and Caleb are such good buddies these days. They have their times of giving each other a hard time, but they play so well for such long stretches of time. I love listening to their conversations. I wish I could think of one to record here, but my mind is blank :)
Ethan absolutely adores every living thing he encounters, from bugs to babies. Nothing makes him so gleeful as a first introduction to a little critter. His whole body wiggles with glee and his smile is so big it makes my cheeks a little sore :) Despite his excitement, he almost always complies with the chorus of "Be gentle!" that echoes around each one of these encounters. He so wants the little puppy or duck or ladybug to like him, and if he successfully touches it with no adverse effects, he squeals, "HE LIKE ME! HE LIKE ME!" with barely containable glee. It is such a joy to watch his happiness, and I have a feeling that our house (or garage) will be as full of little critters as mine was growing up :)
