Favorite Christmas Toys

This is such an adorable picture of Ethan. What a sweetheart!

Don't my boys look the heroes?! They love to dress up. Actually, they love to play with the handcuffs and put Mom in "jail". Thanks a lot Grandma Mary. (No, I'm serious; thank you. They love it.)

Joey loves his Dollar Tree slinky that his brother Nick gave him. Ethan loves it too, and if he decides he wants it at the same time someone else has it....everyone knows about it! He can be quite the screamer!

Ethan's other favorite, perhaps his most favorite is his Ride-On Dump Truck. He loves scooting that thing around the floor, blowing the horn. This is another toy that the boys are wise to stay away from. Otherwise, the whole neighborhood will hear of Ethan's displeasure.

And one of my personal favorites are the Hulk Boxing Gloves. These things are huge and squishy, so not likely to hurt. They also make sound effects which the boys love. They were given to Joey and Nick since they love to "duke up" but Ethan, once again, has discovered the joy of duking up since getting these gloves. I love how they go all the way up to his elbows, and if he raises his arms over his head, he is hard pressed to be able to bring them back down without falling backwards! He is too cute.
I have noticed over the last couple weeks, that Ethan has absolutely no concept of being a little boy. He, in his own mind, is no smaller than Joey. It's not that he does things that are unusual for a child his age, it is the attitude the way he carries himself when he does them, that shows he is a BIG boy. You'd have to see him to understand completely, but I can't stop laughing at him sometimes. It is clear, crystal clear, that he has two bigger brothers.
