Ethan's Birthday Presents

The John Deere Gator is a birthday present to both Ethan AND Seth from Mimi and Mambo. Since Ethan's birthday is first we decided to give it to them on his birthday, which may have been a mistake because when asked whose Gator it is, Ethan firmly says, "Mine!" Luckily, Seth doesn't like to drive it yet, so he's content to sit in the passenger seat and let Ethan be in control.




We cheated and gave this to the boys last weekend (a few days before Ethan's actual birthday) because the weather was nice and we wanted to give them a chance to ride it before it got really cold again. They barely got off the thing all weekend. Tim says it is "the coolest gift ever". I think he's jealous that he doesn't have one too!


Ethan got quite a lot of Diego toys. The boys are both going through a Diego phase right now. Oh, the sunglasses are Diego sunglasses too.



Ethan got lots of great books thanks to Granny and Gramps who sent a Barnes and Noble gift card among other things. I've had to read each of these books ten times a day and that's not much of an exaggeration.



This is a 2 in 1 arcarde game from Disney. It has skeeball and tic-tac-toe ball. It comes with tons of little balls that I'm constantly tripping over around the house now. Nice!




This is a Leap Frog "My First Leap Pad" that came with several books and a backpack to carry it all in. So far, he's not too interested in it. I think it may be a few more months before he really gets into this one.





A Diego counting game. Anything Diego is a winner.





A VTech computer that has lots of different activities on it. He plays with the alphabet and numbers games, but the others are kind of advanced. They have spelling and rhyming games and all sorts of cool things on here. Tim and I are always amazed at all the things toys can do now.





A Fisher Price Doodle Pro. Now that Ethan knows his alphabet, he's starting to show an interest in writing letters and can already write a few, so he really likes this. And I like it too because I don't have to worry about crayons or markers ending up on the table, wall, or who knows where else. It came with a little travel doodle that Seth really likes.





Ethan had a Little Tikes truck that he rode daily from the time we brought him home until just about two weeks ago when it finally had it and we had to toss it in the trash. So, this CAT dump truck was a replacement. He likes it, but I can tell it doesn't take the place of his first beloved truck.

I want to have my birthday at your house!! Those are some great toys. I can't believe he is three, time goes too fast. I love new toys and books because it keeps the kids entertained, at least for a little while!
