Evan in New York (Day 1)

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

This just in from my mother about Evan’s first day in New York with Grandma and Grandpa Z. We will re-unite with Evan next week!

Evan has had a busy day so far today. He woke up at 6 as Grandpa was making coffee, but he went back to bed and slept until 7:30. He was outside immediately in his jammies, calling turkeys and checking everything out. He and Grandpa then went outside after breakfast, but had to wear their bug hats because of all of the little gnats flying around as they were working. They then took a four wheeler ride up to Bill’s house to check things out there. Then he played in the “playground” and was quite proud of himself on how high he could swing this year. He also had to play in the sandbox, too. He came in for a while and did some “chores” for us – made his bed and vacuumed crumbs with the hand vacuum. He ate a good lunch and is now playing with the Fisher Price fire station. Next, he and Grandpa are going to go into town to get the tire for his tire swing and do some other errands.

Diane Hogan and her two grandsons are coming up at 5:30 to cook hotdogs and s’mores.

By the way, when we move to another house, he is going to come here to live!!!

We are all having a good time and thought you would like to see a couple pictures.

A Successful T-Ball Season

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Evan loved t-ball and was a bit sad this past weekend meant his last t-ball game of the year. While he did not really know how to run the bases, throw a ball, or bit off a tee at the start of the year – by this past weekend he had three great hits (all went into the outfield), made some plays while he was in the outfield, and had a great time.

We are very proud of him for trying something new, listening to the coaches, and playing together with his other teammates. We look forward to it again next year! Thanks to the family members that made it out to see him play a game or two!

Human Fork

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

For the last year Evan continually differentiates kids and adults – but instead of calling us older people “adults” he calls us “humans”.

Example: Last night we had pizza for dinner. We did not get him a fork so after realizing he did not have a fork – he went into the drawer, picked out a fork, and proudly told us he decided to use a “human” fork instead of a kid fork.

While I generally correct him with any inaccurate differentiations – Amy and I find this pretty cute and so we do not say anything. So – next time you come over and Evan offers you a “human” something or other – rest assured it will not be something other than a non-kid item.

Just Evan School

Pre-School Graduation

Posted by: jzelazny | 2 Comments

Hard to believe Evan has been in pre-school for two years and now has graduated. I will definitely miss walking with him to his school and seeing his little friends that I have watched grow/mature over the past two years. For the big graduation day – the kids performed 2 songs for the parents and then got their diplomas. Evan loved his teachers and will hopefully built some long lasting friendships.

Stuck Finger

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Yesterday when I went to pick up Evan from the babysitter’s house I found her son sitting with Evan, some dish soap, and cold water trying to get Evan’s finger out of a plastic pipe. Apparently Evan was trying to put together a pipe maze of sorts for his marbles and got this stuck on his finger. When I got to him he was almost panicking but I got him to think about something else and then got his finger out of the pipe. Good times!

Just Evan School

Mom’s Spa Night

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

His preschool class had a “Mom’s Spa Night” which entailed a relaxing hour with your preschooler as they gave manicures, massages, and pampered their mothers. Since I am generally the one who is involved with Evan at preschool I thought this would be a great opportunity for Evan to spend time with Amy at his school. As you can see Evan painted Amy’s nails and had a great time spending time with his Mama.

Evan’s First T-Ball Game

Evan had his first T-Ball game last night and he absolutely loved it. He did a great job with hitting and playing his positions in the field. His favorite of games? His really long red socks.

Evan’s Friend

Evan has a friend that he met his first year of pre-school and ever since they love playing together on the playground and at soccer every week. Here is a picture of the two of them after Evan gave her a bracelet (aka one of Amy’s hairbands). She was super excited and just gave him a big hug.

Big Trucks

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Every year our town has a day in the spring where the local companies bring their “big trucks” so that kids can see them, sit in them, and blow their horns (the neighborhood must love it). Evan and I got there when it was really busy and the lines were pretty long to see anything so we stood in line for the police truck (he wants to be a police officer), and then I had him stand in one of the bull dozer’s buckets (as seen in the photo). We were in line for a cool recycling truck but of course Evan had to go to the bathroom half way though the line – so we just left and hung out with some of his pre-school friends on the playground.

Kite Flying

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Every year – our town holds a “Go Fly a Kite” day where a ton of kids/adults go to a park and all fly kites. I took Evan two years ago when Amy was on bed rest with the twins and we decided to go again this year. After I figured out how to put the kite together – we enjoyed flying the kite (Yoda) aka “Yoga” (Evan was mis-pronouncing the name).
