He loves video games, guns, playing soccer, and riding his bike. He has been mad at me two summers now for not signing him up for baseball so next summer I will definitely SIGN HIM UP! He is also quite the ladies man! He has gotten numerous love letters from his girl "friends". He likes these girls and considers them his friends without being all mushy or goofy about it (being goofy for girls seems like Alden's specialty, but that will make for another post).
This is Ethan with his friend Kayla, at Farm Fest last week.
Ethan shared with us, the other night at dinner, that Kayla has decided she is going to marry him. When we asked his opinion on it, he replied with a shrug, "I'm fine with it".His laid back attitude just kills me (in a good way). This kid is ALL MOSS! When he was a baby he was so laid back that we called him "Buddha". When he hit two we traded in his nick-name for "El Diablo" because he became a rough boy that could take Isaac and Hannah at the same time and make them cry. School and sports have been great for him because they have provided him with physical and mental outlets (much to the family's relief).
He is quiet, but he makes up for it in actions. He provides the best hugs a mom (and dad) could ask for (and in abundance). Very little bothers this kid and he takes the good and bad with an acceptance that seems pretty mature for six years old. He definitely takes after his dad. David says it is the "Don't Care" gene, but I think it is more than that. I think he has an old soul.
I feel pretty lucky to have him.
