Ethan Weiss

Ethan started nursery school this week and today was his first day taking the school bus!!

While dad was in Japan, Ethan started getting potty trained by mom — and so far he's doing a GREAT job. Here's Ethan showing off his new big boy underwear…

And here's Ethan showing off one of the many non-sensical t-shirts dad got him in Tokyo…

It says Mickey's Boss – 1928 – 100% Good Guy.  And you can see the bootleg pictures of Mickey and Minnie…

This picture is of Ethan taken about 2 weeks ago when we went to Sienna Hernandez's house for a bbq…

Last weekend we had an "Ethan Weekend" away.  We started our weekend in Thomaston, CT at the Railroad Museum of New England where we went to a Day Out With Thomas and got to ride on…THOMAS!!!! That's right, Ethan, Mom, and Dad all road on THE Thomas the Tank Engine…and let me tell you — he is a REALLY useful engine…

After a Day Out with Thomas we drove to Springfield, Ma where we went to the Amelia Park Children's Museum, which was awesome.  

On Saturday we got an early start and went to 6 Flags New England for a full day of Thomas Town and Wiggles World!!  You can see in this picture the tattoo Ethan got on Friday.  He had his choice of Engines and he chose to get Rosie inked up on his arm.  He likes her freckles…

Needless to say, Ethan had a blast on all the rides.  We went on a bunch of rides in Wiggles World — Route 66, the helicopters, the planes, the car race, Captain Feathersword's boat, and a bunch more.  And in Thomas Town we rode Thomas the Tank Engine at least 4 or 5 times!!  We saw Percy, James, Gordon in Tidmouth Shed, and even Cranky the Crane!!  And here you can see Ethan riding Bertie the Bus!!

We saw a Wiggles show where Ethan ran to the front and got his dance on — and Ethan got to meet all the characters after.  Clockwise from the top left – Captain Feathersword, Wags, Henry the Octopus, and Dorothy the Dinosaur…(yeah, I know all their names)

Finally, on our way home on Sunday, we stopped at the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport, CT…

We saw lots of great stuff including wolves, buffalo, deer, peacocks, chickens, and a lot more.  

We had a great weekend with E and he's still talking about how he saw Thomas!!

Ethan heard that Poppa (his great grand-dad) hasn't been feeling so well lately.  So we got in the car and headed up to Hadlyme today so Dr. Ethan could make a house call…

Poppa sure was glad that Ethan came to run a full battery of tests on him…

And he even provided some personal consultation…

His prognosis?  50 cc's of 2% milk…STAT.  5 ounces of goldfish – 3 times a day, and if you're really not feeling well, cover everything you eat in ketchup.  We'll be scheduling a follow up visit very shortly…

We just got back from a fantastic family vacation in Nags Head, NC.  Ethan got to spend the entire week with his family — mom, dad, Nana M, Poppie, Aunt Caryn, Uncle Josh, and cousins Lana and Hudson.

We spent time at the house playing and also got to go to the beach, the pool club, ride bikes, and eat lots of good food.  We visited Kitty Hawk – where we saw the Wright Brothers Monument, Jockey's Ridge – where we flew kites, Cape Hatteras to see the famous lighthouse and have a picnic, and Roanoke Island which is where the first English colonist settled — here we went to an Aquarium, a Farmers Market in the town of Manteo, the Roanoke Adventure Museum, and Fort Raleigh among other things.

We're already looking forward to next year's family vacation in….?

Today was a great Father's Day thanks to Mom (Jody) and my main man, E!  Mom got bagels for breakfast and then we opened presents — Ethan's specialty.  Ethan got me books and clothes and even scheduled a massage for me in the morning! In the afternoon we went to the Bear Mountain Zoo and saw Porcupines, Foxes, Snakes, and Bears!!  As you can see below – Ethan got to ride on Dad most of the time…fun…for 1 of us.    And we finished off the day with a great dinner at Aunt Sharon's and got to see Grandpa there.

Thanks for a great day!!

Last weekend we went to Queens for Moby and Ilene's engagement party.  We had a great time and luckily Ethan wasn't bothered much by the paparazzi…

Also lucky for E, party attendee's included his main squeeze, Sienna Hernandez…

And playmates, Uncle Randy…

…And Uncle Ross. "Ayyyyy!!!"

Ethan offers his heartiest congratulations to the future Mr. and Mrs. Riveros and recommends a Thomas the Tank Engine themed wedding…
