Woznation

Evie is a force of nature. I can’t say enough about how amazing she is. Shes so fiery and dramatic and crazy. She infuriating. Buts shes amazing! And hilarious. Did I mention infuriating? She is so many things.  She loves singing. She especially loves nighttime songs. I always have to sing at least 4-5 songs each night. As soon as I am done with one, she starts with the ‘Mommy, mommy, mommy’  or ‘Song, song, song’ and wont let me leave until I sing another one. She will let me know when I am done by saying ‘night night’ or ‘love you’. If those words are not uttered – then I am not done. And if I start to leave without her dismissal, meltdowns ensue. She likes to sing along with me, but repeating the last word of every line of each song. Twinkle twinkle little star – STAR. How I wonder what you are – ARE. Up above the world so high- HIGH. Like a diamond in the sky – SKY. Its hilarious. She pretty darn good at Wheels on the Bus, too! She loves animal books and making animal sounds. We are still working on colors.

She hates messes and is super dramatic about it. Anytime she sees crumbs, or toys spilled out, or milk on the table she GASPS and yells MESS and puts her hands to her face and runs to grab a towel to clean it up. One day at the grocery store – I went to grab some milk and somehow when the rest of them slide down in the case, 2 half-gallons toppled over the ledge and burst out all of the floor. Evie was beside herself!!!! MESS! MESS! MESS! I went and got someone to let them know what happened and they said they would take care of it, but Evie about lost it when we wheeled away without cleaning it up first.

She super obsessed with anything toy story right now. It’s the only way we can get her to stay still . We got a Buzz Lightyear toy for christmas from Aunt Kathy and she sits on the couch with it and watches toy story we DVRd – then freaks out when a commercial comes on – ‘I want to watch it’ she says – so you come over and fast forward through commercials. Shes so demanding.  Shes also very particular about what she wants to wear at any given time:  Exhibits A, B, C:

She loves to help me prepare dinner. She has to have access to the cutting board at all times. She now knows how to pull the dining table chairs over to the counter and climb up to help. So now everything on the counter is fair game for Evie. Which I discovered on an evening when I left some onions and a knife out while I went upstairs to help Wil! (Please don’t call child services on me).

Her favorite thing in the world is Wil and she will copy EXACTLY what he is doing and always wants to be within inches of him. Even when I put Wil in time out – she goes and pulls up a chair next to him and sits down. Its kind of adorable.  They are getting pretty good at playing with each other.  Their favorite thing right now is to take turns running and turning on and off the lights.  Evie will run over and turn them off and laugh hysterically.  Then Wil runs over and turns them on and laughs hysterically.  Repeat about 100 times. Even in her infuriating moments – I will definitely miss this age.
