With kids his age, it seems you have to watch them pretty closely to make sure they obey the social contract&#8211;you know, don&#8217;t steal items from other kids&#8217; carts and the like. Not Ethan, though; he was helping other kids with their lists by dropping healthy snacks into their carts. Way to be helpful!<br \/>\n<br clear=\"right\"><br \/>\nOn top of that, Ethan didn&#8217;t go straight for the various sweets or cake mixes (which is a good thing because of his wheat allergy). Rather, he seemed genuinely excited about fruits and vegetables. His enthusiasm for this tomato was, however, a little excessive. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lumosstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/img_8265.jpg\" rel=\"prettyPhoto[g4]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-42\" style=\"border: 1px solid black; margin: 6px;\" title=\"img_8265\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lumosstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/img_8265-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"Ethan partakes of the plastic produce\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" align=\"left\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Dude, you must <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">buy<\/span> the food before you taste it!)<br \/>\n<br clear=\"left\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After such an exciting day, of course Ethan wanted to share the story of his adventures. Unfortunately, he doesn&#8217;t yet speak English (we&#8217;re not quite sure what he does speak, but he does so passionately) and while adept at pressing buttons on phones, he doesn&#8217;t seem to do so systematically. Still, you can&#8217;t blame a guy for trying. <a title=\"IM a BBy RU? by Plato Fun Factory, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/platofunfactory\/3198433292\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin: 6px;\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3415\/3198433292_2328fb2c1a.jpg\" alt=\"IM a BBy RU?\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" align=\"center\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Finally, after a long day, it&#8217;s time for a bath.
