Will You Be My Valentine?
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and E will happily be anyone’s Valentine as long as candy or coloring is involved. A big thanks to everyone who has sent him card and/or gifts. I know he is especially excited about the new shorts and tshirt that Grandma and Grandpa Z got him because it means he will be wearing it soon when we visit them in FL next month. Evan is going to take Amy and I out to dinner this year at Wildfire.

Philip’s Little Helper
Evan loves when little Philip comes over to his mom’s house so when he came over last week to fix the refrigerator, Evan got all excited. Between watching Curious George figure things out and Handy Manny fix things – Evan was eager to learn and help out with the repair needs. A few days later with Philip came over to our house, as soon as Evan saw him, he said “Hub-bub (that is what Evan’s pronunciation of Philip sounds like) come here” and he took him into our kitchen and showed him our refrigerator…as though he was here to fix that. It was pretty cute ;).

Evan’s January/February Pictures
Evan has been a busy boy in the last two months. When we have not been running from one place to another, we have been busy at home making homemade pierogis, cookies, and cakes, and popcorn right off the cob. Evan also attended his first Build a Bear birthday party, and hung out with some friends in Evanston, and went to another party in Oak Park…not to mention a sweet Super Bowl party as well! He is a busy boy so check out the latest photos of Evan in action.

Mama Gone…
This morning Evan woke up earlier than usual and his new thing in the morning is pull the blinds to the side so he can see outside. This morning when he looked outside, he saw Amy leaving and started crying and saying “Mama gone…Mama gone”. I got up as soon as I heard this sad cry, called Amy, and had her talk to Evan on the phone so he knew she was not “really” gone. It was pretty darn cute.

Twinkle Twinkle
Each night when I put Evan to bed, we say Goodnight to the sun (his room light), I put his turtle nightlight on that projects stars on the ceiling, lay him in bed, cover him up and say I love you and Night Night. Well when I placed him in his bed last night, he sang the first few words of twinkle twinkle little star – it was so sweet. I did not even know he knew the song. So I finished it for him as I walked to the light and turned it off. So precious – I had to share.

My “Insert Word Here”
Oh the fun has begun. For the last few weeks Evan has been letting everyone know that every object is his. He will grab a pen, my belt, a noodle – whatever it might be and say “my pen”, “my belt”, “my noodle”. He is surely testing the waters but so far after he says “my whatever” he will give it to you or will allow us to take it from him without him throwing a fit.
Fun times!

Keeping Gloves on a 2 Year Old
How do you keep gloves on a two year old who wants to go outside, but cannot seem to keep his gloves on? Tape. I was joking with our babysitter about how I needed to do something drastic to keep Evan’s gloves on and mentioned next time I took him out I was going to duct tape them on. Today – when I picked Evan up – Denise (E’s babysitter) showed us how she taped his gloves on – and it worked like a charm!
