Wagon Wheels

Barilla is having a contest to pick out a kid to show enjoying their new piccolini pasta. I sent them this collage of Ethan. Do you think he'll make the weekly top ten? I'll let you decide- this is the gallery of the kids they've picked so far. The prize is a scholarship, so I figured what the heck.

Tonight he didn't cry at all (yet). He's been babbling, but I haven't heard him in a while and think he might be asleep. He woke up last night around midnight but only for about five minutes. He only cried a few minutes today at naptime. I read somewhere four days would be about the time it takes to adjust, and today is the fourth day so I guess that seems to be right for him too. He saw a little girl walking into the grocery store today with her pacifier in her mouth, I thought that might result in a fit but fortunately it did not.

We went to a playgroup this afternoon. He's getting to be a bit of a challenge at those because if any other kid comes near a toy that is in his vicinity, regardless of whether he's playing with it, he throws a fit. I don't know if that comes from having to defend his territory in daycare or what, but it's really hard to explain why he has to share and try to get them to play with each other rather than just near each other. Hopefully that's coming soon.
