Mama/Ethan Day

I had a Mama/Ethan day the other day. I loved it. Ethan opens up so much more when you are just one on one with him. We talked about all kinds of things, went to a couple stores then I treated him to a Happy Meal and ice cream. He was loving it. I'm glad we get to have these special times and he enjoys them. I'm certainly living it up while I can! I just love my Linky Doodle!
