It's back to school time!
Although Evan doesn't have new shoes and won't be filing in to meet his teachers yet, his love of learning is evident. "M" is still a favorite, but it's clear now that he recognizes all the letters of the alphabet and numbers one to ten. His favorite number is nine and he says it clearly.
We bought an activity table with a paper roll and some crayons for his room. He's so happy to work on it everyday - all the time. But we try to strike a balance and find other things to do as well - this means hiding all writing instruments in the house. Sometimes this doesn't even cut it because then he wants us to write letters in the dirt at the playground, with water on the slate floor, with his fingers on whoever is holding him...
He's keeping us on our toes!
He is also stringing two or more words together when talking. "Apple butter" and "apple bar" are favorites. Mommy (Leslie) is "Monny" and I am "MumMum". He's quite fascinated by the moon and if it's not out then we have to find an image of it - "book, moon".

Dear Heather and Leslie:
Evan is SO CUTE and so BIG! How did he grow so fast??! We'll be getting him Dickens and Thackeray in no time at all.
Please give him a big hug and juicy kisses from his grandma in humid ol' Albany.
love to all three of you (and Scoutie, too),
Grammmmmmmy
