He can fly!

It's official. He's a boy. Last night, Ethan declared his ability to fly. While reading an art book with Dan, they came across a picture of a cherub. Dan asked Ethan if he had wings like the cherub. Ethan, quite sure of himself, said "there they are" while pointing to his back. Dan then asked Ethan if he used his wings to fly and Ethan responded "Yes, I do". He then proceeded to example his flying skills by backing up, squatting to the floor, quickly popping up, leaping in the air while flapping his "wings" screaming "fly, fly" and jumping over Dan - quickly and forcefully landing on the floor. Dan and I both paused, expecting cries and claims of boo boos, but instead, Ethan resumed his flying position and proceeded to fly over Dan no less than 6 more times. Ethan's only pause was to ask Dan if he was okay when he saw Dan laughing so hard that he was crying. It was too cute.
