Even more singing

The floor sliding is another one of those things that just happened, we don't even know how. The ABC song completes our knowledge of songs at this point in our lives.

Multi syllable words

This was a Daddy invention and for some reason we both thought it was funny. Evan sometimes throws in his own words like "18 wheeler". Of course, that gets a laugh from Mommy and Daddy.

More singing

"Ipsy ipsy bider" was actually the first song he ever sang and he only knew the first 2 lines. Now we know the whole song.

A new development is that Evan will act out what he sees on tv. We saw part of the Wizard of Oz where Dorothy is locked in the castle and is rescued. Next thing you know we're taking turns "rescuing" each other from the castle (the playroom). An episode of the Backyardigans had a librarian go after an overdue book by becoming the Masked Retriever. Soon after, Evan was chasing me as the masked retriever as I ran away carrying a book.

Apparently Old MacDonald only had ducks

A little entertainment for the new year! In case you didn't know, Old MacDonald also doubles as the place where you get Big Macs and Happy Meals...

Santa came!

Evan wasn't interested in opening presents while they were sitting under the tree but once Mommy and Daddy started in on them, he helped.

We got so many nice things, thank you to the aunties, uncles, cousins and to Grandma and Papa.

Hmmm, does someone like Thomas?

Evan left a cookie out for Santa Claus, one he helped make himself. The next morning it was eaten all up.

We spent Christmas day with the other Kases. Erik showed Evan how to bowl, I think the jumping around says it all.

Getting ready for Christmas

We made cookies this year and Evan helped at all stages. Here he is using the cooke cutters for the first time. He may have gotten some flour on his shirt.

Here's the second shirt of the day, minus the flour. Apparently, Evan thought he should test the red sprinkles. Thank goodness they passed his taste test.

Posing with Santa did not produce tears this year like it did last year and you can interpret this expression yourself but to us it says "I'll sit on this man's lap but I really don't trust him. What's with the red suit?"

The first snow of the year

We officially had our first snow of the year. Evan got his first taste of shoveling but it only lasted a few minutes and then he had to help Daddy. It may have slowed Daddy down but he was helping.
