I posted before about how amazing our neighborhood is and specifically about our next-door neighbors who have two boys, one almost exactly two years older than Ethan and another 10 days younger than Ethan. We didn't see much of one another for several months during the winter, but now that things have warmed up, we're playing together at least every other day during the week (basically, almost every afternoon I don't have class). Ethan asks for them (multiple times) every day, and if he hears them outside, he's halfway down the driveway before I can grab him. He's especially obsessed with Nathan, the older one, and Ethan follows him around everywhere, insisting on playing with whatever he's playing with. There are some times, though, when Ethan gets to teach Nathan something, despite his young age. Nathan received a ride-on John Deere tractor for some special occasion, but he's been too afraid to ride it. Enter Ethan. After a week or so of Ethan having all the fun while Nathan rode shot-gun, he finally agreed to try it out! Unfortunately, Ethan isn't as thrilled about being a passenger, but it's all part of learning he can't always get what he wants. Here are some pictures our neighbor took of Ethan racing around, as well as a picture from all seven of us hanging out this past weekend and a picture of the three boys together from yesterday (for which Ethan refused to smile):
