Life of a 4-Year-Old

I'd like to say that this very cute boy is mine, but I can only claim him as my nephew. He's gorgeous and he's welcome anytime he wants a change of scenery. Ethan and I got to spend a couple hours in downtown Salt Lake together--just the two of us, no mom to distract him from my full attention. What I learned, or had forgotten, is that little boys like big toys that dig holes and lift things. Through this construction window we counted SIX cranes working on the City Creek Project. I think I read in the paper recently that this project has hit "hump" day and is now on the downside of completion.
Little guys can always find something at McD to satisfy a hungry tummy.


This little guy does not like to dress up. It took huge encouragement to don the simplest costume available at the Church History Museum and I learned that I have to take a quick picture because that smile is soon in the next room.


Ethan likes babies. He was drawn back several times to the Nursery exhibit where he could take care of the little people. He rocked the babies and made sure that they didn't go hungry.



Oh, and Ethan has a wonderful family. He's lucky to have them. Of course, he doesn't know that yet, but some day.... His big brothers, Aaron and Jake, are headed off on missions leaving Ethan to have full attention of mom and dad. Again, there's always a welcome invite to come visit Aunt Margaret. She has decided that she likes this little guy.
