snot. i hate it. ethan has missed both days of mother's day out this week because he has a snotty nose. i guess the snot season started early this year - neither one of them really get snotty noses until mid-january or so. but i guess the bright side is i got to spend 8 hours with ethan without emily. he is such a sweet boy, and i do love being with him. some friends told me when i was pregnant with him a mom's relationship with sons were different than ones with daughters. duh, i mean they are two different babies...but now i really know what they meant. boys seem to connect in a different way with their moms. emily was never particularly affectionate as a baby/toddler, and never cared if i was around (she still prefers dan) but ethan on the other hand never wants me to put him down or leave the room without him. it's not just that he is so attached, it's the way he looks at me - like i'm the best thing ever. he makes my heart smile. i worry about him adjusting to the new baby. when dan and i do extended session at church ethan always gets a little miffed when i have to hold/take care of another kid. but he will just have had his 2nd birthday so maybe he'll be a little more independent. yeah right. i was not as worried about emily's adjustment, i mean she was so young when he was born i knew she would just adapt. oh well - the baby is coming in may no matter if ethan will be ready or not!
