We have had some uncomfortably cold weather here in the "great state of Texas" recently. As a result we have had to seek refuge and entertainment inside (an unfortunate and highly unusual course in the winter here).
When we did have power last week we all enjoyed playing the Wii. The family favorite seems to be the obstacle course because Ethan can participate. We hold him while dodging balls and jumping over moving platforms. He really gets into it especially when Mommy is beating Daddy.
Another activity that Ethan and Craig have enjoyed since Christmas is the remote control helicopter that Santa brought. Ethan loves it when it crashes--he crawls as fast as his little booty can get him there, snatches it up, and insists on giving it to Mommy rather than Daddy. Not really sure why--because Mommy then gives it to Daddy who controls take off. It has been fun and Ethan enjoys the rainbow lights it makes as it flies just out of reach of his sticky little fingers.
A new toy added to Ethan's growing collection this weekend is a walker toy. We are hoping to inspire him to start walking soon--Mommy's back needs this child to walk--and it seems to be fun. He laughs and laughs as he runs pushing this little thing into the wall. Then he gets really mad because he can't turn around, so one of us turns him around and he continues running and laughing into the opposite wall. We all enjoy it and hope that soon it will equal walking.
We are not the most exciting family on earth by any stretch of the imagination, but we manage to have a good time.
