Harping with Margot

Margot brought her harp over last week so that Ethan could see it. Actually, she brought two harps over, a little one and a big one, and she let Ethan play them. He thought it was way cool! The photo here shows Ethan playing on the big one. Margot taught him the difference between plucking the strings too hard, and touching them gently to get beautiful music out of them. Thanks Margot!

Ever since we stopped getting up every morning at 6:30am when Ethan wakes up, and instead let him either cuddle with us or go play in his room with his toys (his usual choice), he's been getting dressed by himself before we wake up as well. On Saturday morning, Ethan reached into the upper levels of his closet (still not sure how he got up to the hangers), and pulled down his fancy button-down oxford shirt and put it on. Then he donned a fancy tux/dinner jacket we got at "dollar-a-pound" last week, and we went for a walk around the block at 7:30 in the morning. The neighbors we ran into commented on how well dressed he looked. Ethan loves clothes! Here's a photo of him relaxing on the couch -- if you look carefully you can see that his hair is also sticking up strait on top of his head from sleeping on it wet, which I think is very cute.
