Christmas fun
So, Christmas. We had a good time, except for when all three of us got stomach flu. Ethan was least hard hit: he was only sick for about two hours, and didn't even seem unhappy in between. Jeff and I did not fare quite as well. Ethan even had a cute name for it -- he called it "spitting." As in, "I feel funny with spit," and "I don't want to spit anymore."
When Jeff and I were both sick at the same time, in different bathrooms, Ethan kind of went back and forth between the two of us. He sat and watched me for a while, and then he said, "Mama, you just waiting? You waiting to spit?"
Anyway, we got better. While we were recovering, Dave and Angie and Jeff's dad took Ethan to the aquarium with Nicholas. They didn't stay long, but Ethan apparently loved the jellyfish particularly. He said they went squish, squish.
Ethan loved being with everybody, and playing with Nicholas. He has come up with a marvelous name for Martha: he calls her "Grandmartha." I think it's rather perfect, actually, and my dad thinks it's adorable. Now that we're home again, he will have to get used to just boring old Mama and Daddy again.
