Evan is 5!!!

There are a few funny things I need write about Evan now that he is 5.

He is the sweetest little boy you will ever meet.  If Avery cries, he cries and has to hug her.  He is the hardest worker, even his teachers and therapists say so.  :)

He is really funny.  He loves to make jokes, especially ones about letters.  For instance, he thinks it is funny when he pronouces the silent "e" on words, like the word "everywhere" he will call it "everywhere-E" and wait for me to laugh.  I love it! 

He also LOVES to sleep in his "door bed".  Right after we put him to bed he will go behind his door and fall asleep.  When we go in to check on him we have to slowly push the door so we can get through and put him back into bed.  He sometimes will go to sleep in his "chair bed".  Sometimes right before bed he will make a joke that he wants to go to mama's bed too.  I love when he wakes up in the morning and climbs into bed with me and goes right back to sleep.  I tell him to sleep until 7:00.  Every morning with about 10 minutes to go he will start a count down... "9 more minutes...8 more minutes".  If I tell him to "wait a minute" he will say "sec sec sec" 60 times...that one I don't like as much.  :)

He still loves to be a menu master with the remote control during movies.  Sometimes he watches the bonus material, other times he just wants to control which chapter he is watching.  When we watch the entire movie, he will tell you when each new chapter starts and what it is called.

Avery has decided that Evan is her prince and often makes him dress up and dance with her.  :)  He will even kiss her to wake her up when she pretends she is snow white (mommy is the mean witch who has to give her the apple!). 

Evan had a great birthday party when Nana and Papa came for a visit.  We went to Chuck E Cheese and he played the fishing game, and rode the carosel 100 times.  He loved his Angry Birds decorations and on the big day, he chose to stay home and play Wii, Leap Pad and You Tube.  Such a funny boy!

Today we went to the library and he was so excited to find a new Baby Einstein video.  He started watching it in the playroom and fell fast asleep.  I am about to have to wake him up so he will sleep tonight and be well rested for our dinner with our friends the Christianson's tomorrow.
