Ethan has another obsession that started about a week ago. Vents. Heater vents, air conditioners, vents for fans, “heater boxes” (the actual heaters), and “areas” (which are actually attics). It started last Friday at my parents house. I am not sure who began the conversation, but the kid did learn quite a bit about how heating systems and so on work. And apparently he wouldn’t stop talking about it. My dad informed me that at 2:00, he was so tired of hearing about vents, he told Ethan that if he said any more about them, he would have to go to time out. And he hasn’t stopped talking about them since. We were at my parent’s house today and he walked around the house with me, pointing out each of the vents and the “area.” He wants to swing high in his swing outside so he can see the vents that are on our roof (I didn’t even know we had vents on the roof). He wants us to get a “turnmine” (turbine) to put on the roof. He also wants to climb in the vents. We have tried telling him he is too big, but he won’t stop talking about it. And asking if I want to go in the vents. It is hilarious and ridiculous. It is unbelievable how much we have talked about vents lately. More than I have ever talked about them before in my life, I am sure.
