Observations by Ethan

Some recent conversations with Ethan and observations by Ethan...

At home, in the bathroom - Ethan admiring my curly hair (read, I actually did my hair that day):
Me: Does mommy have curly or straight hair?
Ethan: Curly!
Me: Does Ethan have curly or straight hair?
Ethan: Straight!
Me: What color is mommy's hair?
Ethan: Yellow.
Me: What color is Ethan's hair?
Ethan: Yellow!
Me: What color is Daddy's hair?
Ethan: Brown.
Me: What color is... Lizzy's hair?
Ethan: Yellow.
Me: What color is... Christine's hair?
Ethan: Brown.
Me: What color is... grandma Julie's hair?
Ethan (thinking...): White!!

At Fred Meyer grocery store (the day after he'd been with grandma Julie):
Me: What do we need at the store?
Ethan: Bread. (This was right, we were getting some french bread to go with dinner.)
Me: What else do we need?
Ethan (as we walk past the candy aisle, thinking...): Umm... Malt balls!
(Grandma Julie had gotten both a loaf of french bread and a bag of malt balls the day before, so duh! that's what you always get at the grocery store!)

After all the Halloween decorations were put up in the living room (including bats all the wall, a ghost garland, ghost cut-out thing, etc.):
Ethan: We have a Halloween house!

While wearing last year's Christmas jammies (from Nana and Papa - they still fit) last weekend:
Ethan: Look! I'm a Christmas boy!


I just love this little guy! And I love getting a glimpse into how his 2 1/2 year old mind works!! :)
