the entorage

lately ethan has been insisting on taking his "entroage" every where we go including from room to room. the toys in his entroage vary - usually whatever is in his line of sight the second i tell him it's time to go - but his favorites are the big toy story character dolls we bought for taylor, allie and spencer during our trip to disneyland when they were younger. ethan was super excited when taylor found them stashed in a rubbermaid in the basement. i am usually the opposite of a hoarder, cleaning out closets constantly so i'm grateful i had enough sense in me to save these guys. since then, they have taken quite the beating being drug around everywhere we go. ethan's voacbulary has grown enormously, including the names of the members of the entorage. "wee-wee" is woody, "bzzzz" is buzz lightyear, "buddy" is bulls-eye the horse and "daddy" is jessie. (he calls rich "papa"). he is constantly telling me a story about one of them and usually tells me the same story 20,000 times a day. if i'm not looking him in the eye he puts his hand on my cheek to guide my eyes towards his while saying, "mama mama mama" until he has my full attention. most of the time this is really cute.
