The Getschers: It's a bird... It's a plane... No, it's Ethan-man!

It's a bird... It's a plane... No, it's Ethan-man!

Sweet Marko has been out of town this last week and each time he went out of town, he brought back a little freebie thing for Ethan. This time it was a (anyone?) sleeping mask from the hotel. Mark played it up and called it a Superman face mask so Ethan was ecstatic when he brought it out and promptly wanted to get out his Superman cape to go with it. Pretty amazing what kids can be excited about huh?

On the way home, Mark was telling us about a toy helicopter he flew around a toy shop. Ethan proceeded to tell him that he needed a helicopter and then came up with a, I'm sure, fabulous idea in his mind. Ethan told Mark that he should go on another trip so he could come back again and get Ethan a toy helicopter. Genius, I tell you.

Ethan's Expressions

10/17/10 Mark came home from a church fireside and Ethan said, "How many fireworks did you see?"
10/1/10 Ethan came home from school and said they made a scarecrow but then said they didn't make it with any "scares" in it.
7/1 Ethan was playing with his good friend Addison outside. Eliza was giving Addison big, cheesy, flirty smiles and, even worse, was blowing kisses at him. I then asked her if she wanted to kiss Addison and she nodded her head yes. Boy crazy already! Ahh!
7/1 Mark was talking about Chris King hubs for your bike which supposedly are the best and, in his words, will outlast the bike rider. Ethan said, "Chris King hubs won't outlast Jesus since Jesus never dies." Smart boy.
12/29 "Eliza thinks Rudolph the Reindeer is HER reindeer." He often comes up with silly things that Eliza "says" like this. He has often told me that Eliza thinks she's a mommy and always is telling him what to do.
12/15 Mark said he would take Ethan on splits with the missionaries if Ethan ate all of his dinner. Ethan said, "Great! But I don't like it (dinner, that is)." He said this about 3:00 before I even started thinking about what we would have for dinner.
12/14 Ethan likes to get into Eliza's crib and play quite often when they're supposed to be sleeping. One night we went to check on them at 10:30 PM (!!) and they were still awake, playing. He excitedly exclaimed to Eliza as we walked in, "It's a miracle we're still awake!!" And then proceeded to ask us, "Is it morning time?"
12/13 Ethan asked me if he could draw all over his body. I cautioned him against it, saying that his body was a temple and that we wouldn't be drawing on the walls of the temple. I wanted him to make his own choice... he thought about it for a while and then asked, "Well then, can I draw a temple on my body?" Smart boy.
