Evan Loves the Moon
Evan has become very aware of the moon over the last few weeks/months. Every time he goes outside he looks for it and makes a comment. He also loves seeing himself while I make these movies.

Breakfast With Evan in December
Here is a quick conversation I had with Evan this morning. Our new dog Colby also makes a quick appearance (he has to be muzzled for the first few weeks around Evan so when you see the muzzle…that is what is going on).

A New Skill
On Friday evening, while I was at my first recipe party, I got three phone calls from Jen. When I called her back she informed me that Evan had learned a new skill. He climbed out of his crib three times that night. I was not surprised since he is growing so tall so quickly, I was more concerned about the following bedtimes. Saturday night – no problem. We stayed up a little later and E went down without a fuss, but last night was not so easy. I put E down, again a little later than usual, but about 10 minutes later when I was in the shower I heard little feet running all over the house. We watched cartoons for a little while and I tried again, with no success. E was up until 9:15, when he finally began to fall asleep watching cartoons in our bed.
He actually is very good at the skill. He can climb out of the crib without making too much noise at all, he usually gets onto his truck that plays two nursery rhymes – really loud and then exits his room and shuts the door behind him.
Every day is a new day. Hopefully we can figure this one out quickly. 🙂

Zipper With a Hug
We were out raking today and Evan joined us and helped a little – he put about ten leaves into the pile. Jen and E went inside and then I was called in to help because Jen could not get his jacket off because I zippered his jacket wrong. I used one zipper from the outside and one zipper from the inside – it has a fleece liner. Anyway…it was hard to get off – I tried to just pull it over the head with no success. Finally, I got the zipper moving and removed the jacket. Evan then said, “Yeah! You did it!” and I got a hug. So sweet. 🙂

Evan, Do You Want a Dog?
While considering whether or not to get a dog, how the dog will feel with a young child in the house, how Evan will feel about another dog, etc – I sat down and asked some questions:
Jen: “Evan do you want a dog?”
Evan: “Nope”
Jen: Thinking about this response I thought maybe he does not understand what I am asking…
Jen: “Evan do you want a puppy?” (thinking he might call all dogs puppies)
Evan: “Nope”
Jen: Hmm..perhaps he is only saying “nope” to everything I say.
Jen: “Evan do you want ice cream?”
Evan: “OK”
Perhaps all kids do not want dogs…but regardless we are going to head up the greyhound rescue kennel on the 22nd to pick a new dog (hopefully one of Triscuit’s siblings that are up for adoption). I hope Evan will accept and love the dog when he gets home.

Evan Loves Pumpkins
This fall we have had multiple pumpkins for Evan to play with, hold on his walks, roll around in the house…here he is with his first carved pumpkin. (Jen’s skills at work)
