smartest.children.ever.

Ethan spelled his first word today. He took his foam bath letters and found the G and the O and stuck them up on the wall, "G-O, go!" What a suitable first word for him.

Rayen says 2 words now: Momma and book (she actually says "gook," but she crawls over to the bookcase saying it over and over.) She's also does one sign, but I'm not sure what it is. It seems to be something like HELP or MORE. Or a combination of the two.

Ethan has been on a Queen kick lately, singing cute medleys all day long. When he sings Bohemian Rhapsody, he sings "Mama, ooooo! I mean to make you cry. Is that a dune buggy? Mama..."

When he plays with his cars, he likes to organize them. He organizes them different ways each time: sometimes by color, sometimes by type (convertibles, trucks, etc), sometimes by make. One time I went into his room after he'd been playing and he had all of his cars (more than 100) set up in one big line. "They're all set up!"

Rayen is busy busy busy. She moves around so much I can barely keep track of her. Except she's so noisy I always know where she is. Especially if someone isn't doing what she wants. She and Ethan get into yelling tug-of-wars over toys.

We saw a little boy in a musical last night who reminded me of Ethan. He was so sweet and serious, and sang all by himself, and knew all the words and actions etc, and couldn't have been more than 5 years old.

I miss the kids. Let's skype.
