2 years and almost 4 months old (1 week short)

Ethan has been into counting these last couple of weeks. Mommy would ask him how many butterflies, elephants, ants, turtles, etc in his reading books, and he would count them one by one correctly, up to 5. If the page has more than 5 pieces of elephants for example, he would then count them: one, two, one, two..one, two...he gets impatient if there's too many of them in 1 page. Ethan upgrades his puzzle skill to 12 puzzles. I used to wonder when Ethan could settle down to do 1 activity that requires focus and patient, since he's a very active boy. However, as he grows older, he's more focused and have more patient in doing 1 activity. He can concentrate more. He also loves us reading stories before going to bed. Believe or not, he loves mommy to read "Monsters Inc" before going to bed everynight. He remembers Monsters Inc character's name, Sully, Mike, Boo and Randall. He can help mommy tell the stories. Mommy usualy read the stories and stop so that Ethan can fill in the blank.

Example:
Mommy: "Mike is having a dinner with his girlfriend named..."
Ethan: "Celia".
Mommy: "It was her..."
Ethan: "birthday party"
Mommy: "And Mike wanted to make it..."
Ethan: "special"
Mommy: "but Mike had a tons of reports to hand in to....."
Ethan: "Roz"
Mommy: "to lady collector of..."
Ethan: "paperwork"

Ethan still loves ball. He's getting better with playing basketball. Oftenly, he would shoot the ball and score. He also can differentiate slow and fast movement. Singing fast and slow, walking fast and slow.

Ethan enjoys music very much. He would sing better with music on (papi playing the piano), meaning that he would sing his ABC's from start to finish with piano on.
