The other day Evelyn came up to me and said "mom, I have a secret for you". Then she climbed up into my lap and in her whisper voice she said in my ear "Mom, I love you because I need chocolate milk!"
Evelyn loves her daddy and she really gets emotional when he has to leave for a meeting or work or even just to run to the store. It really didn't dawn on us how much it has been affecting her until the other day when she said this in her prayers..."Dear Heavenly Father, thankful for the day, thankful for daddy and that he came back to me, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen."
So it's been about a month since it was Christmas time. We took our decor down before New Years and we haven't really talked about Christmas for this whole last month...this morning Evelyn woke up and I went in to get her and I went into my usual morning conversation with her - "how did you sleep" "did you stay warm all night" "what did you dream about"...when she answered my question about what she dreamed about, she said "I dreamed about Santa and he's coming to my house to bring me presents!!!" She was very excited like it was Christmas all over again!!!
Claire is into EVERYTHING including all of "Evelyn's" toys. Evelyn doesn't like to share and I am not sure if she'll ever learn that concept, but the other day the girls were playing together and I hear Evelyn say to Claire "Claire, you can't play with this because you slobber and it's mine! Sit down and don't move. I will play with it for you!" What am I going to do with her!??
One of the books we read almost every night at bedtime is Harold and the Purple Crayon. The last couple of nights, Evelyn has asked that she read the book to us. We have read it to her so many times that she can tell the story exactly as it is back to us - just by looking at the pictures. The problem is her reading style - she doesn't read from front to back of book - she starts at the end and goes to the beginning!!! It's hilarious!! We have tried to get her to start at the beginning of the book, but she insists that the story starts at the last page!! Oh well, she is still telling us the story just not in the right order!!
When Evelyn gets in trouble - she knows it - but she is becoming more and more defiant with us and refusing to listen. She will scowl at us and her new thing with me is when I say "young lady, you better listen to me!!" She will reply with a scowl on her face "no, lady! You listen!!!"
Oh boy does she push my buttons sometimes!!!! She is turning 3 in a couple weeks but she has the attitude of a 16 year old!!! But we love her!!!!!!!!! She is our little pixie devil!!!!
