"I'm Older Now"

While waiting for his party to start Ethan asked to hold Abby.  I told him yes and that he needed to go sit on the couch.  He than asked "Can I hold her by myself because I'm older now?"

Another cute story...the other day Abby was "talking" and I started talking back to her and said "oh really" or something similar.  Ethan came running over and asked what she said.  I had to explain to him that I didn't really know what she said I was just interacting with her.
