This one deserves a post of it's own. The other day after playing most of the morning with his monkey, Ethan busied himself with my kitchen appliances while I made lunch (they were out of the closet where I usually keep them to make room for Gabe and his jumper which we hang in the closet doorway). I called him to come and eat and after lunch I put him down for a nap. As I was putting him down, he kept saying "Montee, scared," and thinking he was referring to a book we had read, or else wanted to sleep with his monkey (which I couldn't find), I dismissed it, and put him down. After I came out of his room, I looked around and discovered why his monkey was so scared. "Montee" was in the blender!
I hate to admit that I let my two year old play with the blender, but as you can see, it was just the top part so there was no way to turn it on. Also, Ethan understands that it is sharp at the bottom, and he is very careful. He is a careful child in general. For example, if it even looks like I'm going to open the oven, he runs away with his face covered, and he won't even touch a butter knife simply because he knows that knives are dangerous.
That reminds me of something funny:
The other day, when I took our dinner out of the oven, he warned me saying, "Sharp Mommy!" He meant to say hot, but I still consider myself warned.

That is hilarious, Laura! I actually laughed out loud at that post. What a kind little boy to remember his 'montee' and want to rescue him (even though he was the one who put him in such peril!)
