Evan - 3 Years Old

Oh... Evan, Evan, Evan.

Evan brings us tremendous joy. His enthusiasm and sweet spirit make him impossible not to love! Here is everything Evan is up to at 3 years old.

He's starting to drop his nap. After lying in bed awhile without falling asleep he tries reasoning with me to let him out by saying, "But mommy, is a sunny day." He now uses that argument for coming out of his room in the morning or staying up late, "But mommy, is a sunny day!" It's cute to hear when it's dark outside.

I think my favorite thing to hear coming from his lips are encouraging words towards his sister. He will watch her riding her tricycle around the cul-de-sac and yell, "Oh good job Ewana! You a REALLY FAST GIRL!!

He has been so excited about this birthday. He has highly anticipated his friends coming to his "wace car party" and singing "happy birfday to Evan."

He continues to have such an amazing imagination. He plays great by himself if it's required of him.

I think it's just a boy thing, but he can make all kinds of car, robot, or rocket noises... and it usually involves a lot of spitting (ugh).

He is a minimalist when it comes to coloring; just a few strokes on a page and he's done.

He sometimes wants to "play ball", but it's not as much of a fascination as it was.

If Elena is in the right mood, they can play very well together. He will happily follow his sister's lead; pretending to have birthday parties, be in school, or throw a concert.

For the most part he will happily/enthusiastically go with the flow, but there are certain lines he will not cross; eating new foods, getting his hands messy, letting go of a particular car, or scooting forward a little on the toilet.

He's so caring. If I run into something (stop laughing at me!) he's quick to say, "Oh, are you okay, Mommy?" And if he accidentally bumps us or drops something on our toes, he responds with, "Oh I SORRY!"

He has lots of love for his family!
