more funny stuff

Ethan has picked up the word "crap" from somewhere (it most definitely would never have been me! ;) ) and is using it quite a lot today. He isn't quite sure how to use it, but he's yelled "Oh crap" many times. I'm hoping that it's one that he'll forget and not use if he doesn't hear it again for a while. A good reminder to watch what I say.

He also was sitting on the washer as I put his boots on yesterday. I turned slightly to pick something up and he reached for the light switch. He almost fell face forward off the washer; as I caught him I said "holy moley" and he thought it was hilarious. He's been saying HOLY MOLEY! a lot now. He fell face first into his slide last night, and as he was crying he kept yelling "HOLY MOLEY! HOLY MOLEY!" which was really hard not to laugh at.

Another funny one he has picked up on is texting. I will tell him that we can't play with the phone, mama is just finishing up this text and then I'll put it away. Well the other day he picked up a thermometer and put it up to his ear like a phone and jibber jabbered into it for a while. Then he held it out in front of him and pushed the button a bunch of times saying "text".

On normal days I haven't been letting Ethan play with my phone much at all. He asks a lot but he gets so engrossed in it that it's hard to limit time on it, so we just have been saying no phone. It's very difficult to use my phone around him, so I usually just leave it in the bedroom so he doesn't see it ever. If he ever does start to play with it, I'll let him watch a short video or something, then ask him to push the button on top (to lock the phone) and put it away. Daddy however, carries his phone in his pocket. Steve was checking something quick on his phone after dinner while Ethan was trying to get his attention. Ethan finally told Daddy "Daddy push button on top" and "put phone in pocket" and told him "Daddy enough". You can tell he's heard that one a lot lately. He had decided that Daddy had had enough phone time for the day :)
