Toofies!

On August 12th, Ethan went to the dentist for his first big boy cleaning.  He did so good!!!  He sat in the big chair all by himself (after being able to bring this "big mouth" doggy back from the waiting room).  Then he let the hygienist brush, polish and FLOSS all his little toofies!  Ethan thought it was funny when Erin was polishing his teeth because the brush was striped like a zebra and she told him the zebra was going to tickle his teeth :)  After his cleaning, he let Dr. Jenny count and look at all his teeth with a tiny mirror, and she gave him a little gold coin in exchange.  He was able to "buy" a new bouncy ball from the machine in the waiting room with his coin and he was so proud.  What a big boy!!!

Schulenburg Picnic

Last month (August 3rd) we drove to Schulenburg to surprise Julie & Wes as they rode on a float in the festival parade for Julie's 45th class reunion.  Ethan had a great time watching the parade with his cousins, and consuming ridiculous amounts of candy.  After the parade we went to the picnic and Ethan enjoyed dancing to the music and playing in the park with Dominik & Anthony.  It was a great day!!

And here is a little video of Ethan enjoying the music while eating his lunch:

I will be playing catch-up over the next week or so... please forgive the tardiness of many of these updates!
