"Animal Sounds" by Ethan Williams

I love the Saturdays that I don't have to babysit because it gives Ethan and I time together. We never rush out of bed on these mornings and can almost always be found either wrestling around, talking, or cuddling. This past Saturday morning, I was working with him with his animal sounds. He has been doing a doggie since about a year old and we just keep adding on. He can now do a Dog, a Duck, a Monkey, a Frog, and a Cat. At first he was getting the Frog and the Duck confused and would Quack when he would see the Frog. He has a set of Frog bath tub toys so I started using bath time to teach him the difference. I would say, "Ethan, what does a froggy say? Ribbit, Ribbit." He came up with his own version..."Goop, Goop, Goop" He says this anytime he even sees a frog now. He knows what he is saying and he knows what animal it goes with so I haven't pushed the issue. I say "Ribbit, Ribbit" and he repeats "Goop, Goop". Quite frankly, I think it's adorable and when he's older he will get it "right". LOL. Anyways, since we have done this little video, he can now tell you what a Moo Cow says, what a Birdy says, and can show you want a Fishy does. He's a very smart little boy...sometimes too smart for his own good..LOL.
