Friday's with Evan

Evan loves Fridays. They are his Mommy and Daddy days now and he loves spending time with just the two of us. We play games, read books, clean (he is a big helper with cleaning) and go outside a lot. One of the things we do for Sage when outside is hit the softball for her, so she can run and get it. The kids LOVE playing this game as it turns into a small t-ball game as well. While Emma is not playing t-ball this summer, she does still enjoy hitting the ball and playing catch. Evan cannot wait until he is big enough to play t-ball.



Here are some pics of Evan:

Sage - anxiously awaiting the ball.

His latest thing is spiderman. He loves spiderman, mostly because his two older buddies at daycare love spiderman.

His conversation with me yesterday:

"Mama, have you met spiderman? He is really cool. He comes with a web."

And when I say, "No, I have not met spiderman. Have you?"

His response.... "Yeah, at daycare."

Hmmmm?? I guess there is a cartoon or movie that they watch.

Other stuff. . .

Evan is in swimming lessons again this session and does okay. He enjoys going and attempts to swim, but really just enjoys splashing and laughing with the other kids in the pool.

He doesn't enjoy riding his trikes as much lately and really likes riding Emma's bike. It doesn't seem to bother him at all that it is a princess bike, he just rides around and around at tries to go as fast as he can. Since we will be taking off the training wheels soon for Emma, he won't be able to ride it much longer, but thankfully it is garage sale season and I can find him a little one for cheap most likely.

He is really the big helper in the house. He is good with setting the table, clearing the table, and loves helping me cook. Emma, not as much. We have to ask her a few times before she comes over.

He is a little chatterbox. Constantly talking.

He has his kindergarten screening tomorrow - so we will see how he does :-) He, because of his birthday being Sept. 7, will most likely be either old for his class or young; but Tim and I are planning on him being older. We will most likely hold him back.

Tries to write his name and enjoys doing homework, especially when Emma does homework.

Overall, he is a happy, feisty little boy and enjoys fighting with his sister. But, she enjoys fighting back!
