Proud Mama

I couldn't be prouder. Ethan came home today with new library books and they aren't Spongebob. We go to the public library fairly regularly and it is usually Spongebob or Scooby Doo books. But when he goes to the one at school he usually gets decent books. He's read everyone of the Black Lagoon books; "The Teacher from the Black Lagoon", "The Janitor from the Black Lagoon", there are tons of them. And today he came home with "Falling Up" and "Where the Sidewalk Ends". He plopped down on the couch while Jared watched the Yankees play and read about 8 poems. It's nice to know that he is interested in good wholesome things instead of the mainstream.

I took him for his bi-yearly well check this past week and he measured 52" tall and 71 lbs. I figure by 4th grade (if I'm lucky) he will out grow me since I'm only 62" tall. He's at the age where he is embarrassed to be in his underwear around people let alone being naked in front of anyone, so when his doctor asked him to take off his pants to check for hernias he had a giggling fit. He wouldn't even unbutton his pants he slid them to his knees and I couldn't look!! As soon as his doctor was finished he yanked his pants up faster than I have ever seen=) It's sad when little boys outgrow their mommies, cause we know that we have seen that tushie more than anyone else in this entire world.
