Are we having fun yet?: Little E

E is officially bigger, but still classified as a little kid. He can walk and talk, not crawl or sit, so he is not a baby. But he isn't a big kid yet because he doesn't poop in the potty. E caught on to this discussion and added his own comment "E goes potty in the bathtub". It is true I can't believe he figured out what we were talking about and verbalized perfectly clear his own commentary.

We had a fabulous time celebrating E being on earth with us in our family.

We took him to the grocery store and let him pick out his own balloon. He picked out a ladybug on a stick about half of his size. I thought they would have a minion balloon, but they were sold out. Rats! He loves minions. Points them out wherever they are.

He does like helium balloons, though. They pop back up when he pulls on the string. T and W picked out a color for him from them and then drew on the balloons for E as their gift to him.

We got him a chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich to try for his cake. We put in the candles. Cutest thing ever is that he totally knew to blow out the candles. Once they were lit, he tried blowing them out. His aim with blowing isn't quite right, but he totally knew. Mr. Observant.

J knows E loves pizza. E told us himself. So we got him cheese pizza for his birthday lunch.

Grandma in the Attic sent him money and we brought him to ice cream later that week. He liked that lots too, and that is a total Grandma thing to do.

His big sis and brothers helped him open his presents from Grandma An. Loads of books and puzzles, two of his favorite past times.

We went to the park of his choice that night before bed and pushed him really high in the swings. He asks for more gas if he wants wild swinging.
