When Ethan saw Brooklyn wearing this dress he laughed and said she was a tomato. Jen corrected him and said she was a cherry. Ethan later told Kyle that she was a berry, and Kyle said she was a Brooklyn Berry. This cracked him up!
Ethan continues to be obsessed with Toy Story. He even knows how to spell toy. "T-O-Y says toy!" When asked how to spell "story," he'll say "Y-O-R..." He knows the letters, but has yet to grasp the concept of order.Yesterday a neighbor gave us some old clothes for the kids. Jen saw this vest and told Ethan it was like Woody's vest. He was soooo excited! He even had to wear the vest to bed last night, and put up quite the stink when we told him he couldn't wear the hat and vest to church.
It's amazing how fast his vocabulary has increased over the last few months. He's picking up phrases from us (and who knows where else...). Some of our favorites lately include:
- "Wait a minute..."
- "You're kidding me!"
- "I've got an idea..." (then he explains what his idea is. For example, "I've got an idea! Let's go to the park")
- He's still running around the house yelling "To infinity and beyond!"
He's been adding things to his Christmas/Birthday list every day. Today he informed us that he wants "a big Ferrari." He also wants Sir Topham Hatt, James, Gordon (each from Thomas), a big Buzz Lightyear with wings that light up, Rex, a real R/C (each from Toy Story), a pair of Cowboy Boots like Woody, and the list goes on.
He's also decided what we're all going to be for Halloween. After debating between a Tootsie Roll, a guitar, and Buzz Lightyear, he finally decided on Buzz (big surprize) so we bought him a really cute Buzz costume. According to him Dad will be Woody, Mom will be Andy's Mom (for those of you who don't watch Toy Story at least two times a day, Andy is the kid that owns Buzz and Woody), and Brooklyn is going to be Jessie (the Yodeling Cowgirl that is part of Woody's Posse). We don't have the heart to tell him that Brooklyn is going to be some sort of fairy princess with a fluffy tu-tu instead.

I've heard of pillow case dresses but haven't seen one. They're darling! I'm sure it helps to have a darling little girl modeling it. :) Love Brooklyn's piggy tails. And Ethan's vocabulary, and love for Toy Story, is quite impressive! It sounds like he keeps you laughing and entertained all day long. :)
oh, I love Brooklyn's dress! that is adorable and doesn't look anything like a tomato. ;)
Yay for crafting! Our Super Saturday is this week... can't wait! I love Brooklyn's dress. Isn't it so hilarious what these boys say?! When Nolan isn't throwing a fit then he's usually making me laugh. It's scary that we're already to the point where we have to be careful what we say.
I love Brooklyn's pillow case dress...so cute! I love that Ethan has picked out what you are all going to be for Halloween.
that dress is super cute! I've read a couple of posts from friends about RS crafty days and am sad we don't have anything like that here since everything looks so fun!
How fun that Ethan has costumes picked out for all of you! Andy's mom is probably the easiest one ever. Do you ever see more than her legs? (can't remember but I don't see it as often as you) Maybe he has some ideas for Austin?
Brooklyn looks so cute in her dress! What a creative piece of clothing. And Ethan looks so great in his cowboy hat and vest. I'm glad my boys aren't the only ones obsessed with Toy Story. Except with Kennet, it's Zurg, the bad guy, that he can't get enough of. I'll have to pass along that pillow case idea to Kim for her girls.
