Yesterday evening I was trying to organize Ethan’s toys and clean up his room a little bit. I had stepped out of his room for a minute and he was still in there doing whatever it is that he does. I started walking back into his room and stopped at the doorway to watch what he was doing. He had no idea I was there and I was able to call Shane and have him come and watch without disturbing his play. He had grabbed his black lab stuffed animal (Abbie). First he put the changing pad down on the ground right about where I change him. Then he put the puppy on the changing pad. Then he went over to the wipes contianer, picked it up with both hands, and brought it over, setting it on top of the dog. He was changing her diaper. It was so adorable and touching. He was mimicking what he has observed us do so many times. I nearly had tears in my eyes. He is growing up so fast. He then removed a wipe from the box and began wiping the puppy’s nose. He then saw us, brought the dog and the wipe over and had Shane wipe her nose, then his own nose. Then I had to wipe my nose. It was precious

Now if I could just get him to change is own diaper….
