Dear Etrain,

Well, I'm back at it. No promises I'll keep this regular, but I do want to make sure I eventually get up all your baby months onto this blog. You were just too cute to not post about. The sad thing about doing this so late, is that I don't remember all the details now. I'll just share what I can.

Dear Ethan,

Now that you’re 3 ½ years old, Papa and I love to engage you in conversation. You’re refreshingly honest, innocent and very funny!

Dear Etrain,

You're three and a half years old! I can't believe it. How did you grow up so fast? If I asked you, you'd say it's taking a long time to be four, but I wish we could slow this down. I look back on these old posts all the time, just enjoying seeing what you were like back then. But I sure do enjoy you now too. Sometimes I want you to grow up so we can do more things together, but then I remember how fast time seems to be going, and I wish I could freeze it so I can keep you just as you are. I bought this sign for your room where you can change what it says on it, and the first quote I put up said "Let me love you a little longer before you're not little anymore." It's a good reminder for me because one day you won't want me to help you put on shoes, or read you a book, or cuddle you, or kiss your boo boos. One day, you may not like me. You may go through the teenage phase of hating your parents. Oh man, I hope that doesn't happen. Ok, I'm taking a long tangent, but my point is, you're the coolest little kid, I love every bit of you, and I'm trying to soak it all up.

Dear Etrain,

We just got back from the most awesome vacation. Your dad and I wanted to go somewhere new on vacation. Because your attention span on an airplane is limited, we were trying to think of a destination within a 2-3 flight radius. I had never been to Portland and it had been a while since Dada had been. Also, we have a friend that lives there now so it'd be great to see her and her family while we're up there.
