Life is pretty good these days, if a bit chaotic at times. Evelyn is growing, learning and changing every day. She’s a talker. She can tell us much of what she wants and we can understand her. Not sure if anyone else could though! She cannot say “s” or “v” well so any words that begin or contain with those letters are a challenge. She knows her name and will tell you. Well, most of the time. Half the time she tells people that her name is Pa Pa. Must mean she loves her Pops! The other half of the time, she says that her name is Evie, but she can’t say the ‘v’ so it comes out as Ah-ee. She says Marker perfectly though!
She is still completely obsessed with her books, something that thrills me! I have always loved to read and I’m happy that I get to share this with my little girl. We are starting to move on a little bit from the short board books to longer books. It amazes me that she’ll sit through them. She’s got a lot of energy and does not sit still very often.
I’m hoping to do some Thanksgiving crafts with Evie this year. I missed the boat with Halloween so we’ll see if we can get something done for Turkey Day. I have some finger paints that I’ve been waiting to try with her…but I’m still a little wary. She still has a tendency to put everything in her mouth and I doubt she’d be able to resist tasting the paint. So far, the most we have done is buy those holiday window clings. They are simple and non-messy. She can do them all by herself and she loves them. She will stand in our front room and take them on and off the windows and just have the best time. I need to figure out some activities for her to do now that it is getting dark so early. We used to walk and go to the park, but that’s going to be hard to do during the week now that the time has changed. There are some play cafés in the area that I’ve been wanting to try. They has an indoor play space for the kiddos and parents can sit around, mingle and drink coffee. Maybe now is the time! I can be sort of shy in social situations like that, but I think it could be good for me and Evie. We could meet some new people and have some fun! Time is flying these days and I just want to make sure I’m making the most of it!
