Mystic Aquarium with Ethan

This was an eventful weekend. Ammon had two friends come and play with him on Saturday, which he absolutely loved. I told him Friday evening that his friends Brynly and Ethan were coming over on Saturday. His response was, "Ahh, they're my best friends. We're the three race cars and we'll be friends forever." Ever since he turned three, he's been obsessed with threes. Every time he eats something, he insists on having three of them. So, having three friends together was a very special event for him.

Ammon, Ethan, and Nathan in front of the center circular aquarium in Mystic.

This octopus usually is hiding in a corner when we visit, so Ammon was captivated when it decided to spread out in the middle of the viewing area for everyone to see.

Every time we visit, Ammon has to run to this little pincher toys and have a fight with daddy.



Today was the primary presentation. I was a little concerned how Ammon would handle having mommy sitting with her class in the front while he remained in the congregation with Daddy. During the program he came and sat on my lap. The children stood to sing and Ammon got up and started walking. I initially thought that he was going back to Nathan, but soon realized that he had other plans. He walked to very front, walked up the steps to the podium, grabbed the microphone and began to sing, "La La La La."
