Evanisms

Evan,
You are twenty-six months old. Time is moving so swiftly and I want to take it in and remember it all. You are changing and growing so much and so fast it's hard to keep up. You are such a smart little boy! You can count to ten all by yourself, say most of your ABCs, you know the sounds most of the letters make, and you are learning your colors and shapes. You catch on to things really quickly!


You currently wear mostly 18 months clothes and a 5.5 shoe. You eat a ton of food to be such a slim little guy! You love to try new foods. You love almost everything but some of your favorites are chicken, rice, Italian sausage and pasta, and cheese. You love, love, LOVE cheese! Just this morning you announced to me, "I eat cheese" as you were going into the fridge helping yourself to a slice. You are very independent. You have a HUGE personality and you are so funny! I laugh at your antics all the time. You're easy on the eyes too. I think you are one of the two cutest boys in the entire world.

You love playing outside and going to the playground, you have a tricycle that you are learning to ride, and you love to color and draw. You also love to be in water so I'm pretty sure swimming lessons are in your future. Oh and music lessons too! You take to the piano and the drums after service every Sunday. Speaking of church, you have a heart to praise God. You love going to church and you sit still, listen, and participate in service. You enjoy listening to the choir and sometimes you even dance along. One of your favorite words to say is "Hallelujah!"

You recently had your first trip to the aquarium and I think you loved it. Your favorite part, though, was playing in the kid zone. You love to try to do flips, and they had the perfect gear for you.

This picture was taken a few months ago at a birthday party. Evan and all the other boys wanted to play with this one truck. I call this picture, "The Standoff." Big brother waited on the sidelines to see how this thing would play out.

You are sure of yourself, determined, and strong-willed. I love to watch you with other children.

You are friendly yet assertive. I like this about you.

You've never met any strangers! You love people and you play well with other kids--especially the big ones. I really believe that you have no idea that you are only two! Your favorite person in the world, though, is Ryan. You love your big brother so much! You ask for him the minute you wake up and you are not happy until you see him. Sometimes you two fight, but you always make up with a hug and a kiss.









You are inquisitive and adventurous. You'll try almost anything! It scares me a little sometimes, but it makes me proud too. I know these are qualities that you'll need to become the man God has destined you to be. There is something really special and amazing that you are supposed to do in this world. Whatever it is, you're going to be good at it. I am so blessed to be your mommy. I love you way, way more than you know.



Always,
Mommy
