Essence of Ethan

Me: {To Ethan after he hit Alex in the face.  On purpose.}  Can you please try to work on controlling your impulses?

Ethan:  What will you give me if I do?

Me:  A big hug.

Ethan:  You are the worst at giving prizes.

 

He'll be here all summer ladies and gentleman!

Oh poor little first born. hahaha Eleanor's latest impulse when she's frustrated with Penelope is biting her. Drives me crazy because I know she knows its wrong!

And I think Ethan looks like Jacob in that picture. Tell him thanks for the email response, it was riveting :)

riveting, eh? hahahaha. i'll let him know. although don't be expecting any more emails anytime soon, because this second account has now locked him out as well. i think the problem might be stemming from the fact that it's a child account connected to mine. i don't know what we're doing wrong but it's driving me {and HIM} crazy. hahaha. poor little first borns...

i agree with sarah, i think ethan looks like jacob quite a bit. and i wrote him with the 1st email account, but i guess i'll wait to email him again until it's all figured out.

and pearce is starting to hit me! boo!!! she's had to go in her room
(screaming/crying/kicking) each day with door closed bc of it. hopefully she'll learn soon??

Jessica said...

good news! ethan's first account (the 625 one) is now working. hopefully it won't lock him out again.

and for the record i'm starting to despair that my kids will EVER learn...
