6/30 School Update

I'm learning more and more about Evan's school, from Evan's perspective. Today they had string cheese for a snack. He brought home a picture of a hippo that he used a pushpin to trace. I'm almost positive that "goshwash" is in fact a boy that he's friends with named Joshua. He's pronouncing it more like "gosh-u-wash" now. It sounds like today Joshua was wearing a yellow shirt (from our I-Spy webcam, I believe there were two boys besides Evan wearing a yellow shirt, so this could be accurate info!) Evan also repeats conversations he's had with his classmates. One of them went like this:

Evan: "A boy came over and asked to sit on a chair. Evan said, 'Sorry, there's no chair for you!' That made the boy sad. Then Evan said, 'That's ok.'"

Where Does He Come Up With This Stuff?

Tonight Uncle Alex came over for dinner. We were all sitting around the table outside and Alex left to go in the house. Evan followed him and had this conversation with him:

Evan: "Uncle, where are you going?"

Alex: "In the house to get water."

Evan: "Why are you getting water? You're a man. You're supposed to get beer."

Bonding with Pops - how cute are they?!

The Countdown Has Begun...

We went to see Dr. Haines yesterday and all looks good - yay! We have our induction scheduled for July 26 - exactly one month away! What could change this date: Lil' Babe decides to come before the 26th, amniotic fluid levels are too low when we go for an ultrasound on July 11, or Labor & Delivery is too busy on the 26th and we get bumped. However, it was a busy day when Evan was scheduled to be induced. So instead of going in at 8 AM, we were called in at 4 PM the same day. So I'm guessing we're most likely set on the 26th (she may potentially be born on the 27th, depending on how long it takes to get her out).

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

So, I like to think of myself as pretty down to earth. But there are a few things that I "indulge" in that I know are pretty out there. One of those things is having a "shoe guy" at Nordstrom. This started way back when I was working in downtown Seattle. We would walk to Nordstrom during our lunch break and visit our shoe guy, who would fit us with a perfect pair of Paolos. Oh how I miss my shoe guy. Now that I practically live in my Nikes, I live vicariously through Evan and got him a "shoe lady." She just called to set up an appointment for the Anniversary pre-sale. So if anyone is interested in getting your own "shoe lady" for your little one, please see Holly at the Bellevue Square Nordstrom Children's Shoe department. She's awesome.
