Evie is, so far, our most dangerous child (I have a feeling Zev will trump her when he gets older). But she is much more willing to throw herself into new situations than Wil ever was. She passed Wil in swim tests this spring and was the first to show Wil how to cross the top of the monkey bars. She is speeding down our driveway at full-speed on the balance bike and catapults herself into the foam pit at gymnastics without a second thought.
She loves to tell jokes. Whether they make sense or not. Here was one of her latest:
evie: why did the fish go to the doctor?
me: i dont know, why?
evie: because he needed more water!
me: LOL, what?
evie: is that funny?
me: i dont know, i dont think so.
evie: youre laughing – it means its funny
Evie is the best ‘helper’ of all the kids. She is always the most willing to go run errands – she especially loves going to the grocery store. And she loves moving everything out of the way in the garage for the lawn mower for dad.
Since she is the best helper — on the weekends whenever we are out and picking up take-out for dinner – we like to have ‘girl dates’. Which consists of us sitting at a restaurant waiting for food (usually having a ‘special drink’) and having drawing contests. Kind of like Pictionary but usually with a ‘theme’ of the day. This week it was Mario themed and we drew everything from Mario games and had to guess what each other drew when we were done.
Evie is still our most sensitive one. She is easily upset by others and can take a while to calm down. We are working on ‘Even if someone does something you don’t like, it doesn’t mean they are being mean to you’ But it’s a tough lesson to learn. She takes things to heart. And needs lots of hugs in the meantime.
Evie loves super heroes (which she plays with Wil ALL.THE.TIME. She has no predisposition to princesses over-here!). For her birthday, she requested a GIANT batman cake. But of course the grocery store couldnt promise me ‘batman’ since it was copyrighted – but they said they could do a cityscape and I could bring in my own cake toppers. So I found a bunch of cheap lego super-heroes and it turned out great!! She was so pumped and so was I. We also had Busia and Dzia-dzia here for the occasion and went mini-golfing. It was a great day. We love you Eva-Diva.
