My mother has this little ritual: One of the days she comes in and works for Shawn she will finish and then take one of my boys home with her. The boys are on a rotation schedule. Ethan understands if he doesn't get to go on his "off" week, but poor Landon, he boo-hoos. Anyway, this is an extremely huge help to me since it lightens my load. (Thanks, mom!)
Last week it was Ethan's turn. While at Mawmaw's house, Mawmaw mentioned that she needed to go to the grocery store. Ethan pipes up, "Does that mean I need to buy a toy?" Well, of course! That is what Grandma's are best at - spoiling their grandkids, right?
This week's toy was batman masks. He wore it all through the store which meant receiving tons of attention from other curious onlookers. One lady commented (after she burst out laughing) "He crossed his eyes at me!" He was definitely enjoying himself.
Later, Mawmaw said that she told Ethan that batman helped people. Ethan said, "But I want to be a bad guy."

Ethan: "My daddy is a great big man!"

Trying to teach Ethan his home address, etc. -
Me: Where do you live?
Ethan: Heaven? (where did he come up with this?)
Me: (taking his answer a little farther) How do you get to Heaven?
Ethan: Really fast?!
Update on this: Ethan is doing much better. Wants to still answer Heaven for some unknown reason, but with help, knows where he lives. :-)

Hey, if he thinks that home is Heaven, you are definitely on the right track!
Aren't Grandma's great at spoiling?! I like the batman masks. Michaela saw a spiderman jump castle the other day and asked who he was, so she thinks that the masks are spiderman. What can I say, she is definitely my daughter. I could never tell the difference either.
Hope you guys are having a great week!
I was about to say the same thing as Heather about you being on the right track. :-) I want home to be Heaven on earth for my family.
They look so cute in their masks.
So cute!! I love what they say!
