Ethan had just been diagnosed with RSV, so Josh and I were trying to keep the kids apart as much as possible in hopes that Olivia wouldn't get it too. Josh and Ethan were downstairs playing in the family room while Olivia and I hung out upstairs. When the boys came up for their snack, Ethan was wearing Josh's dirtbike helmet, goggles, and gloves. He told me he was pretending to be Chad Reed. (For those of you who don't know, Chad Reed is a famous dirtbike rider!) I hadn't seen my little man for most of the day, so I asked him to come over and give me a hug. Very seriously he responded, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I can't hug you cuz I'm Chad Reed and dirtbike riders don't hug people."
