Here are more things Evan has told me he will do with Lil' Babe - big plans!
* "I'm gonna turn on the water for Lil' Babe's bath and help get her clean. Then I'll help take her out of the tub."
* "I'm going to eat pretzels with her... And popcorn and kaki mochi after we have our naps!"
* "Lil' Babe can watch me play with my Lego pieces!" (I like how he made the distinction that she can WATCH, and not that she was going to PLAY with them.)
* "I'm going to put diaper cream on her."
One time I asked what Lil' Babe is going to say. I expected Evan to do his usual, "Ehhhh, ehhhh, ehhhh." But instead, he said in a little whiny voice, "'I want my Momma!'"

My Boys
Evan thought it was sooo cool to dress almost exactly like Pops. Here are my two boys (on like, the 10th try at getting both to smile!)

Manners... Or Something Like It
We have a book about manners that we read to Evan. Things like "You burped... What do you say? Excuse me!" There's one that goes, "Daddy asks if you would like a special treat. What do you say?" Instead of "Yes, please!" Evan replied, "Can you open it?"

Mr. Independent
Last week it was like a switch was flipped inside of Evan and he wanted to be so independent. In everything he did, he would tell me, "Evan do. No Momma help" and he would move my hand away. So here are all the wonderfully grown-up things Evan showed us he could do on his own:
* He attempted to put on his own socks. He got one on. The other made him extremely frustrated and he finally accepted help from Pops.
* Use the potty. He was standing on his stool and said he needed privacy. So I left him and hoped he would have good aim. I overheard him pee, put down the seat (what a good boy!), climb up on the stool and wash his hands, wipe his hands on the towel, and turn off the lights. He said, "I don't need privacy anymore. I made shi shi!"
* Dress himself. After the privacy incident, he came out and then started putting his BVDs and pants on. Wow! We were amazed! He had the biggest smile on his face and looked so proud of his accomplishments!
* Read his books. We usually read two books to Evan before nap and bedtime. Now, Evan chooses to read books to us. It's so funny, but also pretty amazing to see the memory on this kid!

April 3 Evanisms
Happy April! Just four short (ha!) months til the arrival of Lil' Babe!
Now, to the Evanisms...
* A potty book we have been reading starts off with the line, "When you get that funny feeling..." So now, instead of Evan running to me saying, "Momma, shi shi! Momma, shi shi!" He comes up and says, "I have that funny feeling..." It's too funny. At other times I ask him if he has to go, and he says, "No, I don't have that funny feeling..."
* "That's the good deal." This is Evan's favorite new phrase. Some examples of this funny little phrase in action:
- "Evan get juice box after I take a nap. That's the good deal."
- "I'll go put these colors away and get a new color for Momma and a new color for Evan. That's the good deal!"
- (Normal bath time routine - Momma showers by herself while Poppa bathes Evan.) "Momma bathe Evan and Poppa bathe in Poppa's shower. That's the good deal."
* As we were running errands today, Evan started talking about how hungry he was. I told him we had one more quick stop and then we would head home to eat lunch. He responded with, "Momma pick up lunch for Evan. Evan want it soooo badly!" I asked, "What do you want soooo badly?" He quickly replied, "McDonalds! Or Jack in the Box!" What a goof! This one really does have ALL the answers!
* "That would be CRAZY!" This is slowly becoming his favorite phrase.
- "I going shi shi in my BVDs... that would be crazy!"
- "I going feed the ducks... at Target! That would be crazy!"
- "I drink all my water and then get more. That would be crazy!"
* "I just pretending."
- Evan was being grouchy tonight so we had a talk about his grouchiness. His response: "I just pretending."
- Evan pulled a diaper wipe out and started wiping himself. I asked him what he was doing. He said, "I pooped and I'm cleaning my butthole... I just pretending."
