Just Thoughts

Just a couple of thoughts that do not have any connection, they're rather random actually.

I'm not ready for full on potty training with Ethan. I decided to give it a try, and I've decided I just can't handle it yet. I'll continue to put him on the potty when I change his diaper, just to get him introduced to the idea, but the full on potty training can wait.

I love photoshop and I've been playing around with it, touching up some of my photo's as practice. I've decided, though, that although I love photography, it's best to just take the picture correctly the first time, and basically leave it as it is. Touching up can help, but it's always better when the photo is good from the start. Also, I've decided that I definately like illustration/painting better than photography because I can control everything down to the the tiniest hair. I like having that control and being able to choose where to place things and what colors to use and where each color and value will go.

Ethan's speech therapist mentioned that she thinks Ethan skipped the babbling phase when he was younger, and that he is now going through that phase. He is constantly making noise lately, carrying on these cute conversations of syllables that do not make any sense to anyone but himself, and it is really cute to listen to. He is getting better at mimiking the beginning syllables of words, if you can get him to look at your mouth when you say them. He has difficulty with a lot of syllables, like the long e sound in please, but I'm happy that he is trying.
